Škoda confirms UK pricing and spec for new Scala Kamiq

The new Scala range features three trim grades: SE, SE L and Monte Carlo with prices starting from £22,095 OTR. All models in the revised range feature design and equipment enhancements, further reinforcing the Scala’s remarkable value for money.

The new Scala features a number of subtle design changes that further emphasise its sporty looks. Inspired by the original Vision RS concept, the radiator grille features traditional vertical slats and cleverly combines matt and glossy surfaces to enhance its appearance. The front bumper has also been redesigned with the central air intake now divided by side wings and flanked by more pronounced air curtains. The air intake grille has a mesh-style design and comes with diamond-shaped segments that create a three-dimensional look.

At the rear, the optional extended rear glass window stretches all the way to the tail lights, with a clean and contoured loading sill below. The redesigned rear bumper includes a diffuser framed by two wing elements painted in body colour, mirroring the design of the front. The Škoda lettering on the tailgate reflects the new, updated Škoda Corporate Identity.

Inside, the Scala now adopts the interior concepts first seen on the Enyaq range with Loft, Lodge and Monte Carlo design selections available on SE, SE L and Monte Carlo models respectively. Inspired by modern living environments, the new design selections introduce new materials and colours to the Scala range and feature increased use of recycled materials and natural fibres to further reduce the Scala’s production CO2 footprint.

These include recycled materials for the upholstery, flooring and floor mats and natural, renewable raw materials in other areas. The door trim panels, for example, are partly made of fibres from hemp and kenaf – a type of hibiscus. The headliner also contains a proportion of these fibres for added strength.


From launch, the Scala will be available with three engine options with power outputs ranging from 95PS to 150PS. While the 150PS, 1.5 TSI unit remains unchanged over the previous model and can be specified with a 7-speed DSG gearbox or a six-speed manual, both 1.0 TSI engines are now from Škoda’s more efficient evo2 generation. The entry-level 1.0 TSI produces 95PS while the higher output variant now delivers 116PS –a 6PS increase on the previous unit.

The new Kamiq features a simplified trim line-up with three familiar grades: SE, SE L and Monte Carlo. All feature higher levels of standard equipment along with a raft of design, engineering and technology improvements. Prices for the new Kamiq range start from £24,030 OTR*.

The new Kamiq features a revised design package that includes a number of small but significant styling changes. The familiar Škoda grille is larger and stands more upright, while the double slats characteristic of Škoda SUVs are now more distinctive and form a U-shape at the lower end. New headlights add to the more distinctive look and come with the option of full LED Matrix technology for the first time.

Below the new grille, a painted section of the new front bumper and a wide air intake with a 3D mesh effect further emphasise the vehicle’s width. Large air curtains incorporate the LED fog lights, which are new to Kamiq. A striking silver diffuser with three openings reinforces the Kamiq’s SUV credentials. At the rear, a new rear bumper features a reprofiled diffuser while new tailgate lettering incorporates the brand’s new corporate identity.

Inside, the Kamiq features three new design selections – a concept first seen on the Enyaq family. Designed to reflect modern living environments, the Loft, Lodge and Monte Carlo design selections are offered in the SE, SE L and Monte Carlo models respectively. All three add new materials and colours and feature an expanded range of sustainable and natural fibres and materials designed to reduce the Kamiq’s production CO2 footprint. These include the use of hemp and kenaf (a type of hibiscus) in the door trim panel and the headlinings, along with recycled materials in the seat facings, flooring and mats.

The new Kamiq is available at launch with three engine options with outputs ranging from 95PS to 150PS and the option of a 7-speed DSG automatic on two units. The two 1.0 TSI motors are new and come from Skoda’s more efficient evo2 family of engines. While the entry-level unit has the same 95PS output as before, the higher power engine now develops 116PS, an increase of 6PS. The 116PS engine, along with the range-topping 150PS 1.5 TSI unit is available with a six-speed manual gearbox or a seven-speed DSG.

Ordering for the Scala and Kamiq ranges opens on 3 October with first deliveries expected in the second quarter of 2024. The finalised WLTP data (including emissions and consumption data) of the New Scala & New Kamiq is not yet available, therefore the VED element of the OTR price is subject to change.

Full and final technical data will be confirmed in early 2024 and at the same time the models will open in all sales channels.

^*The recommended ‘on-the-road’ price of the New Scala & New Kamiq is provisional, as the official test (WLTP) fuel consumption and CO2 emissions figures for the forthcoming models are not available at the current time. The finalised WLTP data may impact the Vehicle Excise Duty (VED) payable and, therefore, the recommended 'on the road price' (which includes VED) is subject to change.

^**Vehicles are tested according to WLTP (Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Test Procedure) technical procedures. The finalised WLTP data (including emissions and consumption data) of the New Kamiq & Scala is not yet available. The finalised WLTP data may impact the VED Band, Insurance Group and BIK values, therefore, these figures are not available. Due to this, the recommended OTR (on-the-road) price of the New Kamiq & Scala is provisional.
