Interior: Generous amount of space and high level of ergonomics

› ŠKODA KAMIQ sets benchmarks in its segment for elbow room, kneeroom and headroom
› Raised seat position for conveniently getting into and out of the car and a great overall view
› Optional: folding function for the front passenger seatback for transporting particularly long items

The KAMIQ is the second ŠKODA to come with the Czech car manufacturer’s new interior concept. ŠKODA has combined an emotive and attractive design with ergonomics and practicality for its new city SUV too. The raised seat position provides a great overall view at all times.

Oliver Stefani, Head of Design at ŠKODA AUTO, explained, “We are making use of our new interior concept in the KAMIQ too. The visual impression of the interior is defined by the free-standing screen and the instrument panel, which is perfectly positioned in clear view of the driver. Exquisite materials create a pleasant atmosphere.”

The free-standing screen, which is perfectly positioned high on the dashboard in clear view of the driver and measures up to 9.2 inches, immediately catches the eye in the interior. A character line running underneath the screen echoes the shape of the bonnet and acts as a rest for the hand when operating the touchscreen. At 10.25 inches, the display of the optional Virtual Cockpit is one of the largest in the segment. Exquisite soft-foam materials on the dashboard and front door trims lend the interior a sophisticated feel.

The ŠKODA KAMIQ offers the elevated seat position that has proven popular in the city SUV segment, thus increasing comfort and safety. The KAMIQ’s raised seats mean occupants are positioned 40 mm higher than in the new ŠKODA SCALA. This provides a great overall view at all times, enabling the driver to notice pedestrians and cyclists sooner, as well as obstacles or the kerb when parking. The driver’s clear view of the expressively sculptured bonnet also allows them to better judge the size of the car. What’s more, the higher seat position makes it easier to get into and out of the car.

The interior of the ŠKODA KAMIQ is very spacious – the driver and front passenger benefit from 1,051 mm of headroom and 1,439 mm of elbow room. In typical ŠKODA style, the amount of space in the rear is the most generous in the segment with headroom of 1,003 mm, elbow room of 1,425 mm and kneeroom of 73 mm. The KAMIQ has a boot capacity of 400 l, which can reach up to 1,395 l with the 60:40 split backrests folded down. Folding these down in the KAMIQ creates a level surface when combined with the optional false boot floor. A folding function for the front passenger seatback is available as an option in the Ambition and Style trim levels, allowing particularly bulky items measuring up to 2,447 mm in length to be transported with ease. The folding rear centre armrest including cup holders is another optional extra, and provides additional comfort on the rear seat.

In the ŠKODA KAMIQ’s interior, a sophisticated system presenting various storage options creates 26 l of additional space for storing all kinds of everyday items. Credit card and coin holders are integrated into the glove compartment – which comes upholstered inside from the Ambition trim level upwards – and there is a pull-out compartment on the left below the steering wheel. Cup holders can be found in the centre console – just like in the optional armrest on the back seat. There is a holder for small items in the Jumbo Box under the front centre armrest. The storage compartments in the doors have extra spaces for high-vis vests; in addition, there is room for a 1.5-litre bottle in the front doors and a 0.5-litre bottle in each of the rear doors. There are storage compartments under the front seats, as well as pockets on the backrests.

The ŠKODA KAMIQ can be configured to suit the customer’s preferences thanks to a wealth of customisation options. In addition to ambient lighting in white, red or copper, which is optional from Ambition upwards, ŠKODA also offers different decorative trims for the dashboard as well as seat covers in various colours, available in Suedia and with contrasting stitching. From Ambition upwards, the optional Dynamic package provides a particularly sporty feel. It equips the new city SUV with sports seats featuring integrated headrests and exquisite Suedia microfibre covers, a multifunction leather sports steering wheel, stainless steel pedals, black roof lining, specific decorative trims and ambient lighting.

The ŠKODA KAMIQ provides a generous amount of space and plenty of comfort for passengers. The optional, customisable Virtual Cockpit’s display features a 10.25-inch screen with a choice of various layouts. A 3.5-inch Maxi-DOT display comes as standard. In winter, the heated windscreen quickly clears to give an unobstructed view and the heated steering wheel improves comfort. The steering wheel is also available as a multifunction leather sports version and the DSG can be operated using gearshift paddles. Electric adjustment is an option for the driver’s seat, as well as for the Dynamic package’s sports seats. In the Ambition trim level, the KAMIQ comes with air conditioning as standard, whilst dual-zone Climatronic with a humidity sensor guarantees the perfect temperature at all times in the Style variant. Climatronic is operated using buttons on the control panel; advanced adjustments can be made via the infotainment touchscreen. To minimise the risk of the car being stolen or broken into and to save on battery power, KESSY automatically switches off the transmitter signal if the key has not been moved for 15 minutes. When the transmitter detects movement of the key, the signal is re-activated automatically.
