Škoda Kamiq: More rugged looks and further increased SUV appeal

› Larger and more upright grille and redesigned front and rear diffusers
› Headlights with new proportions, optionally with full LED Matrix technology
› New wheels, nine paint finishes and optional contrasting black finish for the roof

Mladá Boleslav, 1 August 2023 – Increased SUV appeal for the Škoda Kamiq: new aprons and diffusers at the city SUV’s front and rear make for more rugged looks, while the larger and more upright grille complements the car’s powerful appearance. Newly shaped headlights underline the new look. The Kamiq optionally uses TOP LED Matrix technology with distinctive hexagonal LED modules. On top of that, just as with the Scala, there is a choice of new wheels and nine paint finish colours for the Kamiq.

“The Škoda Kamiq has been our most popular SUV for the past two years. This proves that our city SUV fully meets the expectations of our customers and is the perfect companion for these Contemporary Explorers. With the comprehensive update, we have now further improved the Kamiq – with its sharpened design as well as new safety and comfort features, it has all the prerequisites to further strengthen its position in the booming SUV segment and excite our customers.”

Martin Jahn, Škoda Auto Board Member for Sales and Marketing

The revised Kamiq comes with striking changes to its front and rear. Thanks to its more rugged appearance, it exudes more SUV presence. Its Škoda grille is larger and stands more upright. The double slats characteristic of Škoda SUVs are now more distinctive and form a U-shape at the lower end. Below the grille, a painted section of the new front apron and a wide air intake with a three-dimensional mesh emphasise the vehicle’s width. Large air curtains incorporate the LED fog lights, which are standard from the Selection trim level upwards. A robust silver diffuser with three openings adds typical SUV underbody protection.

The Kamiq’s characteristic split headlights now have new proportions. The upper light is slimmer than before and uses four sharply drawn crystalline stones to provide the daytime running lights. In addition to the full LED base variant, the Kamiq is now also available with TOP LED Matrix headlights. These feature distinctive hexagonal Matrix modules with a protective “chin”. Below is an additional spot light for enhanced high beam functionality. The entire headlight cluster sparkles with crystalline structures and is framed with chrome elements. The TOP LED Matrix headlights enable drivers to leave the high beam on permanently, without dazzling other road users. Oncoming vehicles are detected by a camera and automatically excluded from the light cone. The Kamiq Monte Carlo features the TOP LED Matrix headlights, which also include dynamic turn signals, as standard. In the LED tail lights, the split L-shaped light signature extending into the tailgate has been revised for the top variant (TOP LED tail lights) that includes dynamic turn signals (standard on Monte Carlo). The L-shaped reflectors and the rear fog light are visually linked to the rear lights.

The Kamiq’s new rear apron emphasises the width of the vehicle with surfaces painted in body colour and a large black area for the diffuser. Another part of the diffuser is finished in silver and emphasises the car’s SUV character. The Škoda lettering on the tailgate reflects the new, updated Škoda CI. As with the Scala, the Kamiq’s portfolio includes the silver 17‑inch Kajam alloy wheels with black aero inserts, the 18-inch Fornax wheels in silver and the 18-inch Ursa silver alloy wheels with black aero inserts. The Kamiq is available in two solid colours and seven metallic paint finishes and can also be ordered in the eye-catching Phoenix Orange metallic shade. Another option on offer for the Kamiq is the Colour Concept finish, with the roof, A‑pillar and exterior mirrors in contrasting black.

Škoda is offering a sporty Monte Carlo lifestyle variant for the Kamiq, too. In this version, the frame of the Škoda grille, the exterior mirror caps, the side skirts, the roof rails and the lettering are traditionally finished in glossy black. This model also has an all-black diffuser. The front wings feature Monte Carlo badges. Standard equipment includes TOP LED Matrix headlights, LED fog lights with cornering light function, the panoramic roof and black tinting on the rear side windows and rear window (Sunset). The Kamiq Monte Carlo comes equipped with standard 17-inch Kajam wheels, boasting a brushed black finish with black aero inserts. Alternatively, the optional Monte Carlo version of the 18-inch Ursa wheels is finished in brushed black, without aero inserts.
