斯柯达将为自己的SUV家族再增加一款车，不过该车仅在中国销售。车厂形容这款车是“主流城市SUV”，同时表示，它是专门为中国市场开发的。这款车将在本月开幕的北京车展首次亮相。车厂并未公布该车名称，但目前已知该车名称为Kamiq。该车无论是车身尺寸还是价格，定位均低于柯珞克，但将采用车厂最新技术。从车厂发布的图片看，这是一辆造型锐利的小型SUV，它与柯珞克非常接近，但采用了多项专属配置，包括前大灯，向下倾斜车顶，与前保险杠集成在一起的LED行驶灯。车厢内采用极简主义风格设计，包括七英寸显示屏，传统模拟仪表，音响和空调物理按键。据《中国汽车新闻》报道，该车将搭载一台1.5升汽油引擎，功率82千瓦/110马力，不过这款车只有这一台引擎，搭配六速手动变速箱，但可选装DSG双离合器变速器。该车将在上海大众投产，起价约为9万人民币。（文/王文章）

 

Skoda Teases Small SUV For China Ahead Of Beijing Debut

Skoda will be adding another SUV to its lineup, but it will be sold exclusively in China. The Czech company describes its new model as a “mainstream city SUV” and says it’s been developed especially for the Chinese market. An official debut is scheduled for the Beijing Motor Show later this month.

 

Skoda is not ready to disclose the name of the new vehicle yet, but we know for a fact it will be called the Kamiq. The model will be positioned below the Karoq in terms of sizes and prices, but will also benefit from Skoda’s latest technologies.

 

The first sketches reveal we will be dealing with a sharp-looking small SUV, very similar in its design to the Karoq, but still featuring a number of distinctive features, like the headlights, sloping roofline, and LED daytime running lights integrated into the front bumper. Inside the cabin, you’ll find a minimalistic design with a seven-inch screen, traditional analog dials, and physical buttons for the audio system and climate controls.

 

According to CarNewsChina, power will come from a 1.5-liter gasoline engine with 110 horsepower (82 kilowatts), but we doubt this will be the only available option. A six-speed manual gearbox will come as standard, while optionally available should be a DSG dual-clutch automatic.

 

The new Kamiq SUV will be produced locally by the Shanghai-VW joint venture and the prices are expected to start from 90,000, or approximately $14,100 at the current exchange rates.
