Skoda Kamiq - MPG, CO2 and running costs

The Skoda Kamiq with the best fuel economy is the mid-range 114bhp 1.0-litre, with an official figure of 51.8mpg and emissions of 123g/km. The entry-level 94bhp version is only slightly behind at 51.4mpg and 124g/km. Adding the seven-speed DSG to the 114bhp 1.0-litre reduces the fuel economy to 50mpg and increases the CO2 output to 128g/km.

As we mentioned on the previous page, the 1.5-litre petrol has clever cylinder deactivation technology to reduce fuel consumption when you're maintaining speed cruising along the motorway, putting its 49.3mpg figure for the manual and 49.1mpg figure for the DSG auto very close to that of the smaller 1.0-litre engines. Both versions emit 130g/km of CO2.

The engines in the Kamiq compare well with petrol-engine rivals such as the Peugeot 2008, but there are hybrid alternatives, such as the Hyundai Kona and Toyota Yaris Cross, which offer significantly better fuel efficiency.

Tax

For company car drivers paying Benefit-in-Kind (BIK) company car tax, the Kamiq’s emissions should compare favourably with its main rivals. However, there are hybrid rivals for similar money, such as the Renault Captur E-Tech and Toyota Yaris Cross with lower emissions that could save you money. Then there are a number of fully-electric alternatives like the Hyundai Kona Electric, Jeep Avenger, Peugeot e-2008, and Vauxhall Mokka Electric to consider, which could save you even more money.

Insurance groups

The Skoda Kamiq ranges between group 12 for the least powerful 94bhp 1.0 TSI, up to group 20 for the 148bhp 1.5-litre. That’s on par with the Volkswagen T-Cross (groups 11-20), but is generally higher than the Ford Puma (groups 12-17), Renault Captur (groups 8 to 19) and Toyota Yaris Cross (groups 11-14). 

Depreciation

Our experts predict that the Kamiq will retain around 50% of its value after three years and 36,000 miles of ownership. That’s mostly in line with rivals, although the broadly similar Volkswagen T-Cross in 1.0 115 Match trim will hold onto 54% over the same period.
