AI generated from our expert reviews

If you are deciding between these two sensible family SUVs, your choice largely comes down to size and seating style. The Skoda Karoq gives you a tall, commanding driving position, whereas in the Skoda Kamiq you sit relatively low and should not expect to sit above other drivers. The Karoq also offers a bigger boot, along with more total space when you fold the rear seats down. In the back of both cars, two adults will be comfortable, but carrying a third person leaves everyone squeezed. Neither car offers a hybrid option, and neither will get your pulse racing on twisty country lanes, though both provide plenty of road grip without offering much driving excitement.
