SKODA KAMIQ cars

What types of used Skoda Kamiq cars are there?

The Kamiq (2019-present) shares its platform with the SEAT Arona and VW T-Cross, as Skoda sits underneath the VW Group umbrella. 

It’s available in SE, SE Drive, SE L, and Monte Carlo trims. 

What features does the Skoda Kamiq have?

You’ll get different features in your Kamiq model depending on the trim you choose, but there’s some impressive tech in all models.  

Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard in all the latest models except the entry-level SE trim, but some used models have smartphone mirroring. 

You’ll also have plenty of head and legroom in the Kamiq thanks to its boxy shape, plus a 400-litre boot that can be extended to a 1,395-litre loading space with the rear seats dropped.  

You can also choose to add wireless smartphone charging if you fancy giving your phone a boost on the go.  

Is the Skoda Kamiq reliable? 

The Skoda Kamiq was awarded a five-star Euro NCAP safety rating in 2019, so you know it’s a secure and sturdy car. This includes a 96% adult occupant rating and 85% for children, thanks to the Kamiq’s Crew Protect Assist system and up to nine airbags.  

The Kamiq is widely reviewed as a reliable model, with its drivers praising the running costs and high-quality feel of the car.  

While the Kamiq itself is yet to appear on many reliability rankings, similar models like the Skoda Kodiaq and Karoq rank well and are a great indicator of how the Kamiq will perform.  

How much does the Skoda Kamiq cost to run?

The Skoda Kamiq is an efficient option that is frugal with fuel, achieving up to 52.6mpg with its 1.0-litre petrol engine.  

Even the larger 1.5-litre petrol can still achieve up to 49.7mpg, and the 1.0-litre petrol with the DSG automatic gearbox gets up to 48.9mpg. The latter is actually one of the least efficient engines on offer, despite still being economical on fuel.  

The Kamiq sits in insurance groups nine to 20, so it shouldn’t be too pricey to insure either.  

Who is the Skoda Kamiq suitable for?

A used Skoda Kamiq is an ideal family car. It isn’t too pricey, but it’s packed with handy features and comfortable enough that backseat passengers won’t feel squished.  

The Kamiq is also ideal for motorists after extra space and a chance to hop on the SUV trend, without too much bulk. 

The efficient engines also mean the Kamiq is also a dream on long journeys.
