Skoda is to unveil its Kamiq small SUV at next week’s Geneva motor show – its third SUV range.

It joins the Karoq and Kodiaq SUVs in the manufacturer’s range and is aimed at a younger target group that pursues a modern, adventure-oriented lifestyle.

Kamiq will be available with four engine choices, all of which comply with the Euro 6d-TEMP emisions standard.

They are a 1.0 TSI 95PS petrol, a 1.0 TSI 115PS petrol, a 1.5 TSI 150PS petrol, and a 1.6 TDI 115PS diesel.

Bernhard Maier, Skoda Auto CEO, said, “By introducing the Kamiq, we are completing our successful European SUV portfolio at the lower end.

“As our first city SUV, the Kamiq will captivate new customer groups for the Skoda brand and it is therefore an important component of our model campaign.

“The Kamiq offers an attractive overall package and combines SUV‑typical characteristics such as the elevated seat position and a good view of the road with agile handling, an emotive design, a high level of safety and state-of-the-art connectivity.”
