      I have seen other reviews where they said that the ride is not that great however the kamiq is ideal and practical for a growing family.. I know the interior isn't flashy as a Peugeot or ford 😂 and I'm not in my 20s

    • @PlanetautoUK

      The thing about other reviews is they compare things like an X5 to a Kamiq etc 😆 Skoda offer reliable well built motors, enjoy it.

    The more powerful 115 PS version is anticipated to be the bigger seller in the UK, but for anyone who is considering the lesser 95 PS version in this review (which I have), I can vouch that there is no great compromise on the road, it offers up a decent turn of speed right up to and including motorways. My overall experience so far matches the review, I can't help but wonder if an unintended consequence for Skoda will be that it steals sales from the Scala.

    • @PlanetautoUK

    @ planet auto team… I wonder if it would be worthwhile to do a comparison between the Suzuki Vitara and the Skoda Kamiq…. The vitara for me has all the performance pat down and the kamiq, the comfort and ergonomics. What would one choose given these two varied strengths… asking as I am confused. Love the vitara for its performance and allgrip.. the kamiq for everything else. Thank you… :)

    Thanks for reviewing the lower powered version. All reviews I have seen are with the 115hp engine and I honestly believe it's not needed as 95hp with a turbo for such a light weighed car, it is not relevant not even in motorways.

      This is the SE 1L TSI 5G Manual with various added options according to our Skoda press sheet. Quite often the models we get have a more advanced setup or something a none uk car would get, especially if it’s pre production. Hope this helps Paul

    unfortunately Skoda still use old fashion technology Xenon lights and these lights make too much condensation. I got my new Kamiq and I am very very disappointed about that. Company says this is normal, but I was not informed before I buy the car. So your new Kamiq will not always look so nice as in the showroom, but depending the weather, the lights will be foggy.

      Planet Auto yeh I took a test drive before Christmas. When getting into the rear seats you have to sit further down unlike the Karoq and my current car a Suzuki Vitara you just slide in with no effort.
