Skoda’s Kamiq gains a new additional grade to boost its appeal
The Design Edition grade will sit between the SE Edition and SE L Edition trim levels.
Skoda has added a new Design Edition specification to its smallest SUV, the Kamiq.
The Kamiq acts as a rival to cars like the Nissan Juke, Seat Arona and Volkswagen T-Cross and acts as an entry point to the firm’s range of SUVs.
This new Design Edition comes as standard with the same level of equipment as the existing SE Edition model but adds in 17-inch alloy wheels, black roof and door mirrors and privacy glass. On the inside, the car utilises front sports seats, cloth and microsuede upholstery, a three-spoke sports steering wheel, and red trim on the dashboard.
Furthermore, ambient lighting, black headlining, and aluminium pedals are also standard for this new trim level.
A choice of two engines are available including the entry-level 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine with a choice of power outputs of either 94bhp or 114bhp.
All versions come as standard with a manual gearbox, however, if you opt for the higher-powered 114bhp unit, there is the choice of a seven-speed DSG automatic transmission, too.
Prices start at £25,855 for the lesser powered model and rise to £28,185 for the higher powered unit with the DSG automatic gearbox.
Order books for the Kamiq Design Edition open on January 16 with first deliveries expected to commence in the spring of this year.
