The all-new Skoda Kamiq will be going against its arch-rivals and some of the segment toppers like the 2020 Hyundai Creta, Kia Seltos and the Nissan Kicks. However, reports also suggest that the Skoda Kamiq compact SUV will not be launched in the country and it is just being used as a platform to prepare the Skoda Vision IN which will actually launch in India.

Skoda has not yet hinted anything about the price as we can surely expect the KAmiq to range somewhere between. Rs 11 lakh to 19 lakhs depending upon the variant one goes for. It is expected that Skoda could launch its new mid-size SUV in early 2021 but looking at the current situation nothing can be anticipated yet.

As stated earlier with its launch the Kamiq compact SUV will actively rival the likes of the Kia Seltos, Hyundai Creta, Mahindra XUV300 and the Nissan Kicks.
