2020 Skoda Kamiq Introducing Review : All-New Skada Suv Experience

2020 Skoda Kamiq Introducing: All-New Skada Suv Experience The Skoda Kamiq compact SUV will be both clever and affordable when it lobs in 2020 It’s set to be a big 2020 for Skoda, as it prepares to launch a pair of key products into the Australian marketplace. Alongside the all-new Scala hatchback, the Kamiq small SUV will give Skoda its third SUV alongside its large Kodiaq and mid-sized Karoq.
No real surprises when it comes to the spec and design of the Kamiq – we have a little while to wait until final details of the Mazda CX-3/Mitsubishi ASX/Hyundai Kona rival are revealed, but we know it’ll be built on the same underbits as the Volkswagen Polo hatchback and forthcoming T-Cross SUV. That means the five-seat SUV will be front-wheel-drive only, and will offer at least a 1.5-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine for the Aussie market. The overseas press release also details other engines, including a 1.0-litre three-cylinder petrol engine as well as a 1.6-litre diesel.
The local arm of the company has said that the Kamiq is due to land around March or April of 2020, but specs and pricing are not yet confirmed. One issue it will have is around the fitment of what are known as petrol particulate filters (PPF); all of the engines listed by Skoda are fitted with the device which is designed to bring petrol engines up to Euro 6 emissions standards.

Otherwise, the Kamiq bears a lot of resemblance to Skoda’s Vision X concept that debuted this time last year in Geneva. LED lighting on higher grades will feature heavily, while the Kamiq’s profile looks similar to that of the more squared-off Karoq.
