  • You might have never heard of the Skoda Kamiq, but it's compact SUV you really ought to take the time to find out more about.
    The tiny crossover model is the smallest of small SUV models from Skoda in Australia, and it's about the same size and price range as the Volkswagen T-Cross.
    The version that our family car reviewer, Helen Frost, is testing in this video is the 2023 Skoda Kamiq Signature - which sits in the middle of the model range, and offers plenty of likeable characteristics.
    Helen found that during her week with the Skoda Kamiq SUV, she had enough space, enjoyed the drive, liked the tech and accessories, thought it was fun and reasonably fast, and got plenty of comments from family members and friends about the styling of the car, too.

      Hi biltztom2685, Just of interest, Skoda now has the "Kamiq Runout" model showing on their website, with a drive-away price of $32,990. This model according to car websites is due to arrive in the 2nd quarter 2024 sometime. It comes with a 3 cylinder, 1.0 Litre Turbo engine, producing 85kW, 200Nm (VW T-Cross also uses this engine). Has an ADR Combined Fuel Consumption of 5.4 L/100Km. R e d b o o k also has info about it. Cheers.

    In the UK this model is called “Monte Carlo” rather than “Signature” and it’s the most expensive trim.

      In Australia the Monte Carlo Edition has cloth striped sport seats where the signature has leather/suede.

      That engines 110 hp is about 4,5-7 lt/100km(depending the speed)extraurban and around 6,5-9 urban(depending the traffic, the temperature, driver's style)...The 150 hp engine consumes a little more...

    • @StevenG89
      @StevenG89 Рік тому

      In Australia the 110TSI (1.5L) is equivalent to the 150 elsewhere. 110 in this case refers to 110KW and not 110 PS.

    Over all the kamiq is a good car but I didn't like mine because the constant road noices and poor stability while taking a square or sudden speed.
    I bought a Volkswagen tiguan allspace premium elegance 2.0 tsi 4×4 2022 instade.

    Why do reviewers forget to mention that these European cars take the costlier RON 95 petrol which then again increases the cost of ownership over its life time and limit how far inland you can take this car to.

      95 Octane is a better quality fuel, and gives better economy then 91 Octane.
      The better economy stills puts u ahead, even if it costs
      15 cents / litre more for 95 Octane.
      The engine is tuned to give optimum performance on
      95 Octane.
      Better quality fuel, less carbon build up on fuel injectors etc
      Penny rich, pound foolish.
      BTW,
      95 Octane is readily available around Australia, unless u r driving your Kamiq across the Simpson Desert, which, most owners don’t intend to do.

    • @Iwishiwasflying
      @Iwishiwasflying Рік тому

      You also forgot to mention that it's because Australian fuel isn't the same as European fuel. In Europe you can use 91RON fuel. Basically if you are going to blame a car due to fuel, also don't forget to add in the full picture.

    Unfortunately SKODA Australia pure greed tried to take advantage of Australians by increasing prices by up to 50% during the pandemic shortage while the factory only increased prices by 3%. They also replaced the new 1.5L and DSG with the old 1.4L and torque converter on most Karoq models. Other cash grabs include dropping the new entry level fabia models and only bringing in one montecarlo fabia at $40K! We bought an entry fabia at $17K two years ago.
    They have also reduced base engine size from 1.5L to 1.0L on Scala and kamiq and dropped standard options such as nav and safety features.
    Shame the local distributor has trashed a great product line
