Model reviewed: 1.6-litre diesel automatic SE
“Skoda builds some of the best affordable new cars on sale, and the Kamiq is no exception. However, the diesel automatic option tested here doesn’t show the Skoda Kamiq at its best, as it makes it both pricey and not especially smooth. Instead, stick with a more affordable petrol option and you will have one of the best small crossovers on sale.”

“The Skoda Kamiq is one of the best small SUVs on sale – few can match its balance of practicality, value and comfort.”

“The Monte Carlo takes the Kamiq’s good bits and adds extra power and equipment. The mid-level models are still where the sweet spot of the Kamiq range lies, but this smart and swift small SUV is a nice book-end that looks great and offers the same level of practicality.”

“The Kamiq is the entry to Skoda’s SUV range and joins a thriving sector of the market stacked with talented and distinctive rivals. Practicality, plentiful trim options and value for money all count its favour, likewise the brand’s reputation for reliability.”

“The Skoda Kamiq feels like a very sensible, practical, versatile option for people who just want modern family transport in a compact, affordable package. It’s not an easy brief to satisfy, as many cars in this class continue to demonstrate to their cost.”

“So introverted, inoffensive and indistinct, I wonder if the Skoda Kamiq might be entirely passed by, as customers look for something with a bit more of a story, and a bit more buzz, the car you might end up with if you really can’t make your mind up about the others.”

“Skoda first two SUVs have been instant hits, and the Kamiq only builds on that, with another class-leading crossover that will likely only continue to see this Czech manufacturer continue to go from strength to strength.”

“A new entry in to the increasingly crowded small crossover market that does a lot of things well but doesn’t have a big flagship USP to grab the attention.”

“There’s nothing about the Skoda Kamiq that sets it apart from rivals. There’s no quirkiness that the Yeti had in spades. It’s a shame because the whole Volkswagen Group is turning into an organisation that makes too many similar cars.”

“Hitting the market with something bold and brash isn’t Skoda’s way. While the understated Kamiq doesn’t shout about its abilities, it’s a really versatile little SUV that’s both spacious and upmarket enough to tempt buyers away from bigger and more expensive cars.”

“As small crossovers go, the Skoda Kamiq is a very versatile car. Space in the rear is excellent, with loads of headroom and a reasonable amount of legroom for adults. There are lots of useful features in the cabin, too, including plenty of stowage and large door pockets.”

“A classy and easy-to-use interior, lots of rear-seat space, a good-sized boot and decent equipment levels mean the Kamiq is a solid, sensible and likeable compact SUV. But there are some flies in the ointment; a stiff ride and an inflexible boot mean this isn’t quite the car it could have been.”

“The Skoda Kamiq is a breath of fresh air in the small SUV class. It’s bigger and classier inside than either the SEAT Arona or the Volkswagen T-Cross, more comfortable and has some really clever features to help take the stresses out of modern family life.”

“In the rapidly expanding small SUV sector, the Skoda Kamiq offers a solidly practical and good-value choice. Passenger space is its main achievement, but it’s also comfortable, easy to use and safe. We do have questions, however, about its below-par braking performance in our tests.”
