Škoda Australia head of product and marketing Kieran Merrigan said the upgrade Kamiq delivers the perfect balance of value and versatility.
“Škoda is offering the Kamiq Select as an incredibly roomy high-value star in the compact SUV class, while the Kamiq Monte Carlo with adaptive suspension and 250Nm turbocharged power adds segment-busting driver enjoyment with loaded specification,” Mr Merrigan said.
“The Select typifies Škoda’s intelligent packaging philosophy, with compact dimensions and a roomy interior – plus features and interior quality positioned well above the compact SUV norm.
“The Monte Carlo can be compared to premium offerings in the market only for thousands of dollars less and with a longer warranty to boot.”
The Škoda Kamiq Select is powered by a refined and efficient 1.0-litre turbocharged engine with 200Nm of torque and 85kW of power, plus a 7-speed Direct Shift Gearbox (DSG).
The Kamiq Monte Carlo raises the game with a dynamic 1.5-litre turbo engine with 250Nm and 110kW, plus a 7-speed DSG.
