Skoda Kamiq (2019-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very roomy for a small SUV	Not as much fun as a Ford Puma
Good value for money	There's no fuel-sipping hybrid model
Comfortable to travel in and appealing to drive	Lacks the sliding rear seats of some rivals

Quick Summary

The Skoda Kamiq (2019-present) is a compact crossover that punches well above its weight in terms of practicality and interior space. Despite its supermini-sized footprint, it offers more room than most competitors, with comfortable rear seats and a generous 400-litre boot. The cabin is exceptionally well finished, and the plush ride makes it comfortable for long-distance travel. Available with a choice of petrol or diesel engines, all deliver willing performance and impressive fuel economy, with the 114bhp 1.0-litre TSI offering the best balance of power and efficiency.

The Kamiq is available in four trim levels—S, SE, SE L, and Monte Carlo—each progressively better equipped. Running costs are low across the board, with insurance groups starting from eight and fuel consumption ranging from 42.8mpg to 52.3mpg depending on engine choice. Skoda's reputation for reliability and build quality is well-deserved, and fixed-price servicing plans offer peace of mind. Whilst it may not deliver the driving thrills of a Ford Puma, the Kamiq represents excellent value, whether buying new or used, making it a sensible choice for families and commuters seeking a practical, well-finished small SUV.

Best for: Families and commuters seeking a practical, spacious small SUV with excellent value, good fuel economy, and reliable build quality.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising engaging driving dynamics (the Ford Puma offers more fun) or those wanting a hybrid powertrain option.

You should buy the Kamiq if: You're seeking a practical, spacious small SUV with excellent value, good fuel economy, and reliable build quality for families and commuters.

Competitive Position: The Skoda Kamiq (2019-present) is a standout in the compact crossover segment, offering superior interior space and cabin quality compared to most rivals.

It outperforms the Nissan Juke Mk2 across all metrics and matches the Volkswagen T-Cross for user satisfaction. For buyers prioritising space, comfort, and affordability over sporting thrills, the Kamiq is the smart choice in this highly competitive class.
