- 2023 Skoda Kamiq: Full Australian line-up details
- New Run-Out variant added with lower cost for limited time
- Available until Q2 2024 when a facelifted model is expected to launch
A more-affordable variant of the 2023 Skoda Kamiq small SUV has arrived in Australia for a limited time.
The aptly-named Kamiq Run-Out will be available until the second quarter of 2024, around the time a facelifted version is due to launch in Australia with revised styling, eco-friendly interior materials, matrix headlights, and faster charge ports.
Priced from $31,790 before on-roads – or $32,990 drive-away nationally – the Kamiq Run-Out maintains the turbo-three 85TSI, dual-clutch automatic powertrain and 5.4L/100km fuel consumption for $5000 less drive-away, losing some equipment available in the Style.
This missing equipment includes adaptive cruise control, lane-centring assist, an electric tailgate, a digital instrument cluster, a wireless phone charger, and dual-zone climate control.
However, Skoda Australia is keen to point out that the Run-Out still “has features typically expected in the mid-to-high specifications of competitor brands”, with national drive-away pricing fixed at $1200 more than the retail cost.
“We have seen competitors persist with inefficient naturally aspirated engines and plastic steering wheels in entry models, however we find that our customers typically want more,” said Skoda Australia marketing and product boss Kieran Merrigan.
“Škoda customers are the most discerning in the market. We have spent the last year articulating our seven-year warranty, our affordable seven-year servicing plan and our strong whole of life ownership credentials. Even with a seven-year service plan, buyers can now choose a Kamiq for less than $36,000 driveaway.”
The addition of the more affordable Kamiq Run-Out follows the return of blind-spot and rear cross-traffic alerts across the line-up last month – including the new variant.
Pricing for the now mid-spec Style has remained static, while the flagship Monte Carlo and Signature have risen between $1000 and $1500, respectively.
