Skoda tweaks SUV line-ups

Skoda has updated the Kamiq and Kodiaq line-ups with new trim levels that improve the specification on offer.

The smaller Kamiq now has a new SE L Executive trim, which replaces the regular SE L specification, becoming the secondhighest specification variant.

Prices start at £24,465 and includes more equipment such as 18in alloy wheels, heated front seats, rear view camera and front parking sensors. It also includes virtual cockpit (a digital instrument display), LED headlights and tail lights, and body-coloured bumpers.

Two engine options are available, both being petrol units. The first is a 1.0-litre three-cylinder engine making 109bhp and the other being a 1.5-litre four-cylinder making 148bhp – both come with a seven-speed automatic transmission.

The larger Kodiaq has two new trims, called SE Drive and SE L Executive, which replace the SE and SE L trims respectively.

SE Drive starts at £30,415 and gets 18in alloy wheels, electrically adjustable, heated and folding door mirrors and an eight-inch touchscreen display with sat nav.

Buyers get one year of online infotainment access included, as well as front parking sensors and a rearview parking camera, and a choice of five- and sevenseat layouts.

A 1.5-litre petrol engine and 2.0-litre diesel are available. Both make 148bhp and come with a seven-speed automatic transmission, while the diesel is also offered with four-wheel-drive.

SE L Executive trims offer even more equipment, with 19in alloy wheels, leather upholstery, electrically adjustable driver’s seat and a rearview parking camera as standard.

These models come with seven seats as standard and have three engine options. There are two petrol engines that are 1.5 litres and 2.0-litres in size, making 148bhp and 187bhp respectively. A 2.0-litre diesel is offered with 148bhp and 197bhp, while all 2.0-litre petrol and diesel engines have fourwheel-drive as an option.

Prices for the SE L Executive Kodiaq start at £34,275 and all new trim levels are available to order now.

Both the Kodiaq and the Kamiq are among the best SUVs in their class and the updated versions will be well worth checking out.
