ŠKODA KAMIQ – the new city SUV


  • › Next step in the successful #suv campaign in Europe
  • › ŠKODA #kamiq combines the advantages of an #suv with the agility of a compact car
  • › World premiere in March 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show

Mladá Boleslav, 26 February 2019 – ŠKODA is adding a third model to its European #suv portfolio: the ŠKODA #kamiq. Just like with the successful ŠKODA KODIAQ and KAROQ, the name #kamiq also originates from the language of the Inuit people who live in northern Canada and Greenland: it means something that fits perfectly. Sitting in the growing city #suv segment, the ŠKODA #kamiq perfectly combines the advantages of a sport utility vehicle – such as higher ground clearance and an elevated seat position – with the agility of a compact car. With an emotive design, state-of-the-art assistance and infotainment systems, a generous amount of space and numerous Simply Clever features, the new #kamiq equally fulfils the needs of both family- and lifestyle-oriented customers.

ŠKODA AUTO CEO, Bernhard Maier, said, “By introducing the ŠKODA #kamiq, we are completing our successful European #suv portfolio at the lower end. As our first city #suv, the ŠKODA #kamiq will captivate new customer groups for the ŠKODA brand and it is therefore an important component of our model campaign. The ŠKODA #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. Furthermore, its generous amount of space and many Simply Clever features make it a real ŠKODA.

” The ŠKODA #kamiq continues the successful #suv design language from the KODIAQ and the KAROQ and comes with new visual highlights such as the split headlights featuring the daytime running lights above the main headlights. The city #suv is based on the modular transverse matrix (MQB) and, with a length of 4,241 mm, offers the ŠKODA-typical generous amount of space. Modern assistance systems, environmentally friendly and efficient drive systems, the latest infotainment systems and state-of-the-art connectivity solutions ensure the ŠKODA #kamiq perfectly fulfils the requirements of modern individual mobility – all whilst further consolidating the emotiveness of the ŠKODA brand.

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.
