In a bold move to redefine compact car standards, Škoda Auto has unveiled comprehensive updates to its popular compact duo, the Scala hatchback and Kamiq SUV, injecting both with a dash of sporting flair and a hefty dose of sustainability. The facelift includes sharper designs with newly sculpted front and rear aprons, cutting-edge LED Matrix beam headlights making their debut in both models, and an interior overhaul boasting sustainable materials and digital enhancements.
The Czech automaker isn’t just about looks; it’s pushing the envelope with three revamped TSI petrol engines from the evo2 generation, promising more power and efficiency. Ranging from 70 kW (95 hp) to 110 kW (150 hp), these engines are designed to meet the evolving needs of modern drivers while adhering to stringent emissions standards.
Safety is also at the forefront of Škoda’s agenda. The upgraded Scala and Kamiq are equipped with an array of advanced safety features and assistance systems, traditionally found in higher vehicle classes, ensuring peace of mind on every journey.
Beyond the technicalities, Škoda is setting a new standard in vehicle personalization and comfort. The introduction of six Design Selections for the interiors allows owners to customize their rides with a variety of innovative and sustainable materials. Additionally, new Simply Clever features, such as the virtual pedal for the electric tailgate and smartphone pockets on the front seatbacks, underscore Škoda’s commitment to enhancing the driving experience.
With over 670,000 units produced to date, the Scala and Kamiq have been European favorites since their debut in 2019. This latest update is set to bolster their appeal, making them even more competitive in the bustling compact segment. As Škoda continues to innovate, the refreshed Scala and Kamiq are poised to become the go-to choice for “Everyday Explorers” seeking a blend of style, functionality, and eco-consciousness.
