The Skoda Kamiq is an excellent small SUV with a spacious cabin and plenty of high-tech features that’s dead easy to drive and impressively comfortable.
Pros Comfortable to drive Very roomy back seats Plenty of standard equipment
Cons Alternatives have bigger boots… …And are more exciting to drive Desirable infotainment costs extra
Another worthy crossover. Comfy, roomy, but not especially interesting.

The Skoda Kamiq is everything good about Skoda wrapped up in a desirable small SUV package.
