AI generated from our expert reviews

Choosing between these two small SUVs comes down to driving position and packaging. In the Volkswagen T-Cross, a raised ride height lets you tower over most family hatchbacks, whereas in the Skoda Kamiq you sit eyeball to eyeball with regular hatchback drivers rather than looking down on them. Both cars make squeezing three passengers into the back a challenge, but when it comes to cargo, the T-Cross has a bigger boot with all seats in place, while the Kamiq provides more room once you fold the back seats down. Neither model offers a hybrid or electric option, sticking instead to conventional petrol engines. They also grip well enough without being particularly fun down twisty roads, prioritizing competence and everyday usability instead.
