Skoda Sketches Out Designs for New Urban CUV

Škoda releases the first renditions of its latest urban crossover vehicle to be unveiled in March at the Geneva auto show.

Dubbed the Škoda Kamiq, design sketches hint at a muscular SUV-inspired profile but with clear aspirations toward the city driver rather than for the off-road enthusiast.

In a first for the Czech Republic manufacturer, the Kamiq will feature two-part LED headlamps with daytime running lights set in slits above the main headbeams which will boast crystalline effect lenses.

Styling cues from other Škoda SUV models include a wide, upright radiator grille with double slats and a silver-colored front spoiler to underscore the car’s muscular looks.

“In our new Kamiq city SUV we’ve implemented a completely new headlamp configuration,” says Oliver Stefani, Škoda chief designer. “They give the Kamiq a unique appearance and represent another interpretation of our successful (CUV) design language.”
