skoda kamiq

The newest and smallest member of Skoda’s growing SUV family, the Kamiq, has arrived Down Under, but for now it's a single-variant line-up. While the entry-level Kamiq 85TSI is already in dealerships, those wanting the sportier Kamiq Monte Carlo or more premium Kamiq Limited Edition will have to wait a little while longer.

Small SUVs. You might love the idea of a higher-riding hatchback, or you might think they’re a convenient way for car brands to sell ostensibly compact cars at a markup. Either way, ongoing demand means the market for this type of vehicle remains abuzz with new offerings. Australia is no exception. The market share of Small SUVs was 13.1 per cent in 2019, while in January this year the newly separated Light and Small SUV segments commanded 15.9 per cent combined share.

The Skoda Kamiq GT has been previewed in sketches ahead of its reveal on November 4, giving an early glimpse of the Czech brand's latest model for the Chinese market. If the aesthetic looks familiar, we don't blame you. The Kamiq GT looks almost exactly like the Vision GT concept that previewed it in June, with slight changes to the front bumper insert, wing mirrors, and wheels.

The all-new Skoda Kamiq has started rolling down the production line at the company’s main factory in Mladá Boleslav in the Czech Republic, ahead of its Australian introduction early next year. Due to hit European markets in the coming months, the Kamiq serves as the third member of Skoda’s global SUV family, slotting under the larger Karoq and Kodiaq crossovers.

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.
