Škoda unveils the 2020 Kamiq
Ahead of its début at the upcoming Geneva International Motor Show, Škoda has released some images of and details about the Kamiq. This compact new arrival – which measures just 4,241 mm (13’ 11”) long – slots beneath the larger Kodiaq and Karoq in the brand’s SUV line-up.
The exterior styling is inoffensive but underwhelming. Indeed, the only notable element is a split lighting arrangement at the front.
Nevertheless, there should be plenty of space inside thanks to a body width of 1,793 mm (5’ 11”) and a wheelbase of 2,651 mm (8’ 8”). The available technology won’t disappoint, either. For instance, there’s a centrally-mounted touchscreen (6.5”, 8.0” or 9.2” depending on trim grade) to control the infotainment system. On the options list is Virtual Cockpit, a configurable 10.25” display that replaces conventional instruments.
Furthermore, a standard eSIM means that a Kamiq is always online. This enables a variety of services such as remote vehicle access, eCall emergency assistance, over-the-air navigation map updates, real-time traffic information and a dedicated app store.
Every Kamiq is going to come with Front Assist (incorporating City Emergency Brake plus Predictive Pedestrian Protection) and Lane Assist. However, customers will have to pay extra if they want any of the other advanced driver aids being offered. They include Adaptive Cruise Control, Side Assist blind-spot monitoring, Park Assist automatic manoeuvring, Driver Alert fatigue detection and Crew Protect Assist collision preparation.
A selection of four turbocharged engines is planned:
