CAR magazine UK drives the Skoda Kamiq crossover with pictures, specs and a verdict
The Skoda Kamiq is a hard car to pin down. It could fall into several different classes and yet also none – not quite a hatchback, not quite, not quite a crossover. We’ll just call it a baby SUV for now, but what the Kamiq absolutely has been is a smash hit for the marque.
For a little more kick, the Kamiq is also available with a 1.5-litre engine that produces 148bhp. Both the top-end 1.5-litre and 114bhp 1.0-litre cars are available with either a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox. The bottom spec car has to do with a five-speed manual only.Not surprisingly, despite the Kamiq looking a bit SUV-ish with its roof bars and silvery bits, the ride height is much closer to a regular hatchback. In fact, you sit fairly low.
Overall, the effect works – the Kamiq interior is a wholly pleasant place to be. Whether the same can be said for the Kamiq in the more expensive Monte Carlo spec is up for debate. In this format, the Kamiq receives red piping across the cabin and flashes of carbon fibre for a more racy feel, though at the cost of comfort as soft surfaces vanish.
The car we drove was fitted with Volkswagen’s DSG automatic gearbox, which was adequately smooth and better than rivals, but could still be spooked into a frisson after even lightly depressing the accelerator. Initially slow to react, then eager to reach the higher rev range with a sudden change down then quickly back to sedate once more.
