Skoda Kamiq - How has the ground clearance changed over the generations?

As a relatively new addition to Skoda’s lineup, the Kamiq currently only has one generation under its belt. The first generation (2019-now) sports a ground clearance of 182 mm, already making Skoda’s newest SUV an interesting proposition in the world of crossovers. While we can’t compare changes between generations as yet, it will be fascinating to see if Skoda tweaks this figure in years to come.

The difference in Ground clearance between first generation (1.Generation) from 2019 and last generation (Kamiq 1. Generation (1. Facelift)) from 2024 is 0.6cm mm.
The ground clearance of the current generation of Kamiq is 188 mm.

The ground clearance compared to other Skoda models

Now, in the context of Skoda’s formidable fleet of vehicles, the Kamiq slots itself right into a sweet spot. While it doesn't quite match the Enyaq iV (187 mm), Kodiaq RS (195 mm), or the behemoth Kodiaq (199 mm) in the ground clearance game, it does tower over the Octavia Combi (142 mm), Fabia (138 mm), and - funnily enough - the Octavia RS Limousine (129 mm).

How does the ground clearance of the Skoda Kamiq compare to it's nearest competitors?

When it comes to competitors, Skoda’s Kamiq isn't backing down from anyone. Offering a cozy 182 mm ground clearance, it stands tall compared to the likes of the Honda HR-V (185 mm) and the KIA XCeed (184 mm) but truly dwarfs the Citroen C4 (156 mm) and VW T-Roc (161 mm). Surely, the Kamiq must be chuckling at the Audi Q2 (145 mm) in its rearview mirror. Of course, there are some rivals that just can't be beaten, and the likes of the Citroen C5 Aircross (230 mm) and Ford Kuga (201 mm) still sit atop the ground clearance mountain - but the Kamiq's attempts are valiant, to say the least.
