The Skoda Kamiq is an excellent example of the Skoda design philosophy that has been such an important factor in the revival of the brand, such that it is now not only well established across Europe but is also something of a global name.
Simply put, the secret of Skoda’s success is to take an existing VW Group “platform” – floor plan plus various suspension components – and stretch it for extra room. Thus the original Octavia was a stretched version of the Golf, which yielded impressive boot space and leg room for the rear seat passengers – and with minimal sacrifice in weight and performance.
