Skoda Kamiq (NW4)

Subcompact Crossover

Product Gallery

Product Overview

Skoda Kamiq (chassis code NW4) is a subcompact crossover in production from 2018. It is available with a range of inline-3 and inline-4 engines that displaced 1.0 to 1.6 liters.

Compared to other vehicles in its class, the VW Polo-based Kamiq is an uninspiring vehicle with nothing that stands out. It is essentially a clumsier variant of the hatchback.

The Skoda Kamiq is limited to inline-4, which just a decade ago would be considered inadequate but which is what most have to live with today, thanks to regulations.

Reviewer score 42% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autocar have found:

The Kamiq is set to join bigger SUV-ish brothers the Karoq and Kodiaq in UK showrooms later this year. The car uses the Volkswagen Group’s MQB-A0 supermini platform, which in turn means it can only have front-wheel drive and torsion beam rear suspension. Performance is respectable, although we're not sure you’d want a lesser engine.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment and connectivity

Cons

No front-wheel drive or torsion beam rear suspension

Reviewer score 75% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from autoexpress have found:

Despite its dinky dimensions, the Kamiq is a credible alternative to more conventional hatchback models like the Ford Focus or Volkswagen Golf. The cabin feels well screwed together, and there's loads of kit no matter which trim you go for. All of Skoda's usual ‘Simply Clever' features remain, making this a fantastically adept family car.

Pros

Fantastic all-rounder
Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Not quite as flexible as a Citroen C3 Aircross

Reviewer score 48% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carmagazine have found:

The Kamiq is a good car. It's family-friendly with a spacious and cleverly laid-out interior that feels well-built and loaded with a good amount of equipment and useful touches. The ride and steering are from the same stable. There's an optional £495 Sport Chassis Control which sits 15mm lower than standard cars.

Pros

Well-built and well-built
Comfortable to drive
Decent fuel economy

Cons

Inoffensive driving advice
Lack of torque

Reviewer score 71% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from carwow have found:

The Skoda Kamiq faithfully adheres to the brand's ‘Simply Clever' message by offering all the things buyers need, but without much of a fanfare. The two-piece headlights look just like those on the bigger Kodiaq SUV while the posh Skoda lettering on the bootlid is a clear nod to the stylish Scala hatchback. The back seats are very generous for a small SUV, too – even without the sliding rear seats like those in a VW T-Cross and Citroen C3 Aircross.

Pros

Comfortable to drive
Lots of standard safety features

Cons

Lack of boot space
Not the most fun to drive

Reviewer score 48% (normalized by Neofiliac)

Reviewers from topgear have found:

The 1.6 TDI proved to be well-insulated noise-wise and returned an indicated 45mpg on a mostly motorway-based test route. The main touchscreen's tile-based interface is logical and snappy. Safety-wise, the bodyshell is almost all high-strength steel and you get Lane Assist, Front Assist withCityEmergency BrakeandPredictive Pedestrian Protection.

Pros

Class-leading cabin
Comfortable to drive
Decent infotainment system

Cons

Lacklustre cabin
No manual volume or zoom knobs
