| The name KAMIQ continues the already familiar nomenclature of ŠKODA SUV models. The names of the larger models, the ŠKODA KAROQ and ŠKODA KODIAQ, both also start with the letter K and end in a Q |
| The new ŠKODA KAMIQ is 4,241 mm long and 1,793 mm wide, and has a height of 1,531 mm. The wheelbase measures 2,651 mm. This is especially beneficial for the rear passengers who can enjoy 73 mm of knee room. The boot has a capacity of 400 l, which increases to 1,395 l when the rear seats are folded down. As an optional extra, the front passenger’s seat back can also be folded down, allowing longer items up to 2,447 mm to be transported with ease. |
| They come with brake energy recovery as well as Stop/Start technology and comply with the currently strictest Euro 6d‑TEMP emissions standard. The entry-level engine is a 1.0 TSI delivering 70 kW (95 PS). From its cylinder capacity of 1.0 l, this three-cylinder model produces maximum torque of 175 Nm and features a manual 5-speed gearbox |
| The 1.0 TSI with a power output of 85 kW (115 PS) comes with a 6-speed gearbox as standard, but can be fitted with a 7-speed DSG as an option, and generates torque of 200 Nm. The top-end engine is the four-cylinder 1.5 TSI with a power output of 110 kW (150 PS) and maximum torque of 250 Nm. Its Active Cylinder Technology (ACT) automatically shuts down two cylinders when the load is light, thus saving on fuel. This engine is also available with a 7-speed DSG as an alternative to the manual 6-speed gearbox. All three petrol engines are equipped with a petrol particulate filter. The four-cylinder 1.6 TDI diesel engine delivering 85 kW (115 PS) also offers torque of 250 Nm; it is fitted with an SCR catalytic converter with AdBlue injection and a diesel particulate filter as standard. This efficient diesel engine is coupled with a 6-speed manual gearbox as standard; a 7-speed DSG is available as an option. |

The KAMIQ is the first car in its segment to offer the option of clever door-edge protection that deploys automatically when the doors are opened. This system prevents damage to the KAMIQ as well as nearby vehicles, particularly in tight parking spaces in the city! |
| The KAMIQ combines the advantages of a sports utility vehicle – such as the higher ground clearance and raised seating – with the nimbleness of a compact hatchback. Its stomping ground is the urban jungle, which is where its virtues really come to the fore. |
| Inside, the KAMIQ follows in the footsteps of the SCALA, another model that was being showcased to the general public in Geneva. The KAMIQ will also offer third-generation infotainment systems enabling it to be online at all times, a Virtual Cockpit with a 10.25-inch display, softened surfaces with a finish reminiscent of a crystalline structure, and a host of Simply Clever features. |
| The KAMIQ offers a multitude of safety features and advanced driver-assistance systems. Passive safety is assured by up to nine airbags and other components, while active safety relies on a whole range of assists, such as Lane Assist, Front Assist, including Emergency Brake Assist, Side Assist and Rear Traffic Alert. Travelling is made all the easier by the Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC), Park Assist and Hill-start Assist. If that weren’t enough, you can always reach for the “boot opening assist”, i.e. the electrically operated tailgate. Those who like their car to be athletic will love the sporty chassis with adjustable shock absorbers, enabling drivers to switch between Normal and Sport modes. |

Is there any news on whether the Kamiq will come to India? Seems like a perfect upgrade to the Polo/Vento/Rapid owners |
| The basic Ambition model even has the audacity to feature steel wheels, while only the top-end Style has its roof rails painted. Even at €23,000, you don't get the digital dashboard, LED headlights or push-button start. |

I don't care much as long as it has a high seating position, good ground clearance and touch build and suspension to tackle the bad roads. |

Amidst all the hype around the Hector and the Seltos, there is absolutely no interest in this thread which is understandable considering the car will be launched in 2021 (1.5 years later) |
