For a car barely larger than a supermini, Skoda’s designers have managed to unearth an awful lot of space inside the Kamiq’s cabin.

Skoda’s Simply Clever Plus pack (£340) adds extras that make life easier throughout the Kamiq. Rear-seat passengers each get a tablet PC mount on the back of the front seats, while loading the kids in and out of tight spots becomes a little less stressful thanks to pop-out door edge protectors.

Further forward, the pack adds a small waste bin in the driver’s door pocket and drawers under the front seats. The boot gets a net on the underside of the parcel shelf and a double-sided floor; one side is rubber and the other is carpet.

Dimensions and size

At just over 4.2m long and almost 1.8m wide, the Kamiq isn’t a particularly big car, but it’s marginally larger in both directions than a Volkswagen T-Cross, and slightly longer than a Nissan Juke. It’s more like a high-riding medium/small hatch, almost as if the Skoda Scala had been given a lift kit.

How practical is the Skoda Kamiq? 

Seats & space in the front

Much as with every other Volkswagen Group product, it’s easy to find a comfortable driving position in the Kamiq, thanks to the driver’s seat and steering wheel offering a huge range of adjustment.

A large tray at the base of the dashboard has plenty of space to hold a smartphone, while a modular storage item slots into one of the two cup-holders in the centre console, which is ideal for taking care of the key on the move. The large door bins are useful, too.

Seats & space in the back

There’s loads of space in the back of the Kamiq, easily beating rivals such as the Peugeot 2008, Jeep Avenger or Ford Puma. Headroom, in particular, is excellent for a car in this class, but kneeroom is also among the best the segment has to offer. 

The seats themselves are fairly soft and supportive – even in the centre seat, which can often be a little overlooked – and large plastic openings make it easy to access the ISOFIX points when installing a child seat.

Boot space

For a car of this size, the 400-litre boot is decently sized. It’s not quite the largest in its class – the Nissan Juke, for example, has 422 litres of space – but the Skoda’s wide opening, square shape and high roofline make it a useful area. Drop down the rear seats, and that volume grows to an impressive 1,395 litres.

A variable boot floor is a £205 option that’s well worth the investment. Without it, there’s quite a drop beyond the opening, which makes it a little more tricky to lift heavy items into position, and once the seats are folded, it creates a useful flat load-through area. If you’re willing to sacrifice just a little more storage capacity, then a space-saver spare wheel is offered as an option.
