• Design sketches of the ŠKODA KAMIQ show powerful contours and new design accents
• KAMIQ will debut a split headlight configuration with daytime running lights above which is first for ŠKODA

 

30th January 2019: ŠKODA offers a first glimpse of the new ŠKODA KAMIQ with two exclusive design sketches. With its powerful, rugged looks, the city SUV continues the Czech brands successful SUV design language and adds some new highlights, including a split headlight configuration with daytime running lights above which is a first for ŠKODA.

At the front, the powerful and confident appearance of the new ŠKODA KAMIQ city SUV is defined by a wide, upright radiator grille, which comes with double slats, a typical feature for the ŠKODA SUV design and picks up the distinctively sculpted lines of the bonnet above. The striking tornado line visually elongates the vehicle and harmonizes perfectly with the dynamic roofline while the robust silver-coloured front spoiler underscores the off-road looks. A highlight at the front is the new two-part LED headlamp design with the daytime running light strips positioned above the main headlights. In addition, the KAMIQ is the first ŠKODA to have dynamic indicators at the front and rear. The headlamp lenses with crystalline effects and LED units enhance the cars premium appeal.

Oliver Stefani, ŠKODA Chief Designer said: “In our new KAMIQ city SUV we’ve implemented a completely new headlamp configuration. The two-part headlamps with daytime running lights above are a first for ŠKODA. They give the KAMIQ a unique appearance and represent another interpretation of our successful SUV design language.”

The tall, muscular bonnet is an important part of the side view. The extra ground clearance, large wheels and diffuser underscore the powerful appeal of the ŠKODA KAMIQ. Balanced proportions, clear surfaces and a modern yet timeless design maximise the models dynamic, sporty looks. The eye-catching and clearly defined rear demonstrates a re-interpretation of the classic ŠKODA C-shaped taillight design and features crystalline shapes that are similar to the front. The ŠKODA KAMIQ is the first SUV in Europe bearing the ŠKODA lettering in the middle of the tailgate instead of the familiar ŠKODA logo.

The world premiere of the new ŠKODA KAMIQ takes place from 5th to 17th March 2019 at the Geneva Motor Show.
