SINGAPORE

Small updates and a few styling tweaks gives the Skoda Kamiq more appeal. While the restyling is focused on the bumpers, and a new grille, which carries redesigned headlights.

Skoda says that their B-Segment SUV now has an even more confident presence. Its split revised front lighting signature sees a slimmer upper element, while the lower cluster has expanded. New LED front fogs are now embedded in the SUV’s Air Curtains. At the rear, animated indicators are integrated within newly-designed L-shaped tail lights. Completing the look, the Kamiq has newly designed 18-inch ‘Ursa Aero’ alloy wheels.

For the 2024 MY, only one variant will be available, with the “Lodge” Design Selection, which comes equipped with Suedia microfibre, copper-coloured hot-stamping and LED ambient lighting, which gives you a choice of white and red. Additionally, the interior is fitted with recycled fabrics for its upholstery, carpeting and floor mats, and natural, while renewable hemp and kenaf fibres make up its door panels, and structural reinforcement of the headliner. While the 8.25-inch infotainment touchscreen, flanked by two rotary buttons is retained. Skoda says that the firmware and connectivity features have been further fine-tuned.

Like in the original car, the Kamiq is equipped with Skoda’s Simply Clever classics, like the driver’s door umbrella holder, tyre tread depth gauge, located in the fuel filler cap (now made of recycled plastic), and even the funnel, integrated into the cap the wiper wash fluid container. 

Under the bonnet, is where the biggest change takes place. The Kamiq receives the group’s 1.0-litre three-cylinder evo2 generation EA211 family engine. It benefits from higher injection pressure (350 bar), featuring 10-hole more efficient ten-hole injectors, and a variable-geometry turbocharger. Power is rated at a Cat A-friendly 115hp, while maximum torque, which is rated at 200Nm, now tapers off at 3,500rpm; 500rpm more than the previous iteration of the 3-cylinder engine, which in-turn, provides more depth. The engine is paired to a 7-speed DSG.

Skoda has also equipped the Kamiq with a suite of active safety features, that include Front Assist with Pedestrian Monitor and Side Assist with Rear Traffic Alert. It also is fitted with Cruise Control with Speed Limiter, the Tyre Pressure with Loss Indicator (TPLI).

The Category A COE-friendly Skoda Kamiq is available at $165,900.
