Kamiq 130 Years Edition: Škoda’s Plush Small SUV Arrives
featured image 18
The Kamiq gets the party hat. To mark 130 years of the company that began with a bicycle, Škoda is launching the Kamiq 130 Years Edition in November 2025, priced at an RRP of $44,990 (RRP includes GST). It takes the already clever little SUV and dresses it up with more power, more kit and a few delightful touches that make it feel like a class above.
Powertrain And Performance
Under the bonnet sits the same 1.5 litre turbocharged petrol engine as the Monte Carlo, producing 110 kW and 250 Nm. That is a healthy shove for a front-wheel-drive compact SUV and gives the Kamiq one of the better torque figures in its class. Power is sent through a seven-speed automatic gearbox, delivering a lively, economical drive that balances punch with sensible fuel consumption.
Exterior Upgrades
Visually the 130 Years Edition stands out without shouting. It rides on 19 inch Fornax alloy wheels in a silver finish, gains tinted rear side and rear windows, and adds chrome roof rails and window surrounds for a touch of polish. Matrix LED headlights with dynamic cornering improve night visibility, and a power tailgate with Virtual Pedal makes life easier when your hands are full. A discreet 130 Years badge on the tailgate signals the special edition status.
Interior And Technology
Inside is where the Kamiq starts to feel spoilt. A 9.2 inch touchscreen with navigation and wireless phone charging anchors the cabin, while a 10 inch Virtual Cockpit and a CANTON sound system with 10 speakers lift the ambience. Seats are trimmed in leather and Alcantara, the driver gets a power adjustable seat with lumbar and memory, there is a heated steering wheel with paddle shifters, and both front and rear outboard seats are heated. Add push button start, an auto-dimming rear view mirror and LED ambient lighting and the interior feels more like a step up the ladder.
Safety And Practicality
Standard tech includes Škoda’s Travel Assist suite, which bundles adaptive cruise control, Adaptive Lane Assist and Emergency Assist for semi-autonomous comfort on longer runs. Nine airbags come as standard. Practicality remains a Škoda strength: you get a storage net under the parcel shelf, a double sided boot mat (rubber and fabric), a cargo net, a removable storage box for rear passengers and even a small waste bin in the front door pocket.
Colours, Pricing And Availability
Four paint options are offered at no extra cost: Moon White metallic, Graphite Grey metallic, Race Blue metallic and Black Magic pearlescent. The Kamiq 130 Years Edition is available to order now with customer deliveries starting in November 2025.
