Mladá Boleslav, 5 February 2024 – Škoda Auto has updated its successful compact duo. Redesigned front and rear aprons as well as more sharply drawn headlights add even more sporting flair to the Scala and contribute to increased SUV presence on the Kamiq. On top of that, both come with a refreshed interior featuring Design Selections and new sustainable materials. Three engines from the current evo2 generation with power ranging from 70 to 110 kW as well as a comprehensive portfolio of safety features and assistance systems round off the model upgrade.

“The popular duo of the Scala hatchback and Kamiq city SUV has successfully broken new ground for Škoda. We are now laying the foundations to continue this success story with a comprehensive update that includes refined designs, new and sustainable materials, optimised engines, and innovative Simply Clever details. The refreshed Scala and Kamiq align with the evolving needs and expectations of Everyday Explorers worldwide.”

Klaus Zellmer, Chairman of the Board of Škoda Auto

The Scala now has even more sporting appeal courtesy of a refreshed exterior design featuring new front and rear aprons. The Kamiq now radiates even more SUV presence, with visual details such as a silver diffuser with three openings. Furthermore, both models come with a redesigned grille and – for the first time – optional LED Matrix beam headlights. At the rear, the optional electric tailgate on the Scala and Kamiq now also includes the virtual pedal. Various Simply Clever details are also new. With the standard 8-inch Digital Display and 8 inch infotainment display, the instrument panel in the two compact models is now fully digital. Four USB C ports with 45 watts of charging power and a Phone Box with an output of 15 watts for wireless charging and cooling are available as an option. As part of the update, Škoda is also introducing a new range structure with the three trim levels Essence, Selection and Monte Carlo and six Design Selections for the interior. Moreover, materials such as recycled fabrics, hemp and kenaf are used for the upholstery and door panels.

Two new 1.0 TSI three-cylinder engines from the EA211 engine family’s evo2 generation are now even more efficient, thanks to further hardware and software improvements. Among other optimisations, these include variable control of the intake and exhaust valves and variable-geometry turbochargers (VGT) as well as ten-hole injectors for an even more homogeneous air-fuel mixture. The 1.5 TSI comes with an optimised ACT+ active cylinder deactivation system. The three engines deliver outputs ranging from 70 kW (95 hp) to 110 kW (150 hp).

The Škoda Scala and Kamiq are among the safest vehicles in their respective segments thanks to extremely torsion-resistant bodies and numerous assistance systems from higher vehicle segments that come as standard on both models. These include, for example, the camera-based assistance systems Front Assist with Pedestrian Monitor, Lane Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition. The upgraded version of both compact models now also boasts Easy Light Assist, automatically switching the low beam on and off. From the Selection trim level upwards, the features on board also include Cruise Control with Speed Limiter, the Tyre Pressure Monitoring system (TPM+) and LED front fog lights.
