Skoda has officially revealed the Kamiq, now the smallest member of the Czech brand's SUV family. In terms of design, it's very obvious the littlest Skoda crossover was inspired by the Vision X concept that previewed it at last year's Geneva motor show, though it's been toned down a bit for production. Up front is a new split headlight design that separates the main beam from the LED daytime-running light clusters – a first for the brand.

Peugeot has revealed its new 208 baby hatchback ahead of an in-person debut at the Geneva motor show next week, complete with a pure-electric variant. Up front, the new supermini has a face with more than just a hint of 508 about it.

There's a jewel-like grille and 208 badge on the bonnet, also in keeping with the wider range.
