Skoda Kamiq 2020 – compact crossover Skoda Kamiq for Europe

The new compact crossover Kamiq Skoda / Skoda Kamig 2019-2020 for recently and Europe was officially declassified on February 26, 2019, just a few days before the world premiere of new items at the Geneva International Motor Show. Review of Skoda Kamik 2019-2020 for the last time – photos and videos of home, sales, prices and specifications, dimensions and ground clearance, specifications The youngest crossover in the line of the Czech company Skoda for the European market with the original name Kamik budget SUV Skoda Kamiq for the Chinese market).

Sales of the new Skoda Kamik SUV in recent years and Europe will begin in the fall of 2019, the cost of new items, according to preliminary information, will be about 19,000 euros for the basic version of the model with a three-cylinder 95-horsepower 1.0 TSI petrol turbo engine in a company with 5 manual transmissions and front-wheel drive .

We note right away that for Skoda all-wheel drive buyers, the cemig website should not be counted, for the sole reason that the younger Skoda crossover is based on the Skoda Skala hatchback platform. Both cars are built on the budget volkswagenaudi modular platform MQB-A0 with independent front suspension (McPherson strut) and Semi rear suspension (beam bending).

So, we have a typical compact pseudo-crossover with a claimed 37mm higher ground clearance than a hatchback platform, additional underbody protection for outdoor enthusiasts and large 16-18 inch wheels.

• Exterior dimensions The body dimensions of the 2020 Skoda Kamiq are 4241mm long, 1793mm wide, 1531mm high, with a wheelbase of 2651mm, and quite passable for national road clearing.

The body of the brother platform hatchback Skoda Skala is 121 mm longer, but less than 60 mm in height. The body models parity width, and the axle spacing of the new crossover is 2mm longer than Luke.

Despite the fact that Skoda Kamik is offered exclusively with front-wheel drive, the Czech brand positions the novelty as a car for young people who lead an active lifestyle and cannot imagine their leisure time without traveling. However, the most important thing for potential buyers of the Skoda Kamiq (Skoda’s marketing specifically studied the preferences of the customer) is not the presence of an all-wheel drive car, as well as a modern and stylish appearance and high efficiency of the car. Under efficiency, the initial cost and the low cost of maintaining the machine seem to be acceptable.

By the way, with the advent of the new European Skoda order Kamiq cars. The front-wheel drive compact crossover is endowed with an emotional design and stands out in the stream. The front duplex is adorned with a head light (on the ground floor there are LED lights and a second LED daytime running lights capable of transforming towards indicators) a compact false radiator grille hugging a chrome frame, and a powerful bumper with expressive, smiling lower air intake.

The side exterior looks like a Skoda Kamig knocked down and assembled, as befits a modern crossover. Affordable compact hood with an original topology, attractive plastic body parts, round wheel arches, doors with a high sill, a weak roof line falling behind with a powerful C-pillar.

The rear looks no less bright and organic than the front of the crossover. The Arsenal of poop indicated general ceiling lighting with LED content, a comfortable trunk and a powerful bumper, partially covered with plastic protection.

The interior of the new compact crossover Skoda Kamiq for the European market almost exactly repeats the interior of the Skoda Skala hatchback. So buyers will have to choose between an analog instrument cluster or a digital one with a 10.25-inch display, three options for a multimedia system with a screen diagonal of 6.5, 8.0, or 9.2 inches, with air conditioning or climate control, standard or sports front seats… enough equipment so that LED headlights, heated front and rear seats, heated steering wheel and windshield, automatic parking system, adaptive cruise control and a host of electronic security systems can easily raise the price of a car to 25,000-30,000 euros.

I would like to add that there are ventilation deflectors in the rear Skoda Kamik, and for a surcharge, a front passenger seat is offered with the seat back folded forward, which allows you to carry objects 2450 mm long in the cabin.

The useful volume of the luggage compartment varies from 400 liters behind the backs of the second row seats under the protective curtain to 1395 liters with the rear seats folded down and loaded to the level of the windows.
