Skod has unveiled a serial coupe-like crossover Kamiq GT, created for the Chinese market. He received a more striking appearance with a two-tone body paint than the soplatform Chinese Kamiq.

• The SkodKamiq GT is larger than the original Kamiq crossover, but is noticeably inferior in size to the Renault Arkana. The length of the Czech coupe-crossover is 4409 mm versus 4545 mm for the Arcana, the width is 1781 mm instead of 1820 mm. On a wheelbase, the Kamiq GT is 111 mm shorter (2610 mm). Both Chinese Skodas are built on the old PQ25 platform from the Rapid liftback.
• In the basic version of the coupe-crossover, richer equipment is declared than that of the usual Kamiq: 17-inch wheels, LED optics, front seats with increased lateral support, single-zone climate control and a multimedia system with an eight-inch display. The model also offers a large selection of interior trims with GT badges.
• The coupe-crossover will offer a 110-horsepower atmospheric "four" 1.5 (the standard Chinese Kamiq is equipped only with it), as well as a 1.2-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 116 hp. (175 Nm). The base engine is combined with a five-speed manual transmission, and the older one is combined with a six-speed manual transmission. Also available for motors is an optional seven-speed "robot" with two clutches. Drive type - exclusively front.

Skod has no plans to sell the Kamiq GT outside of China. The reason is that in another important market - the European one - another Kamiq is offered, built on the more modern MQB-A0 platform from the European Volkswagen Polo.
