Hi Gerrycan, do you really get 7 year warranty on Skodas in Oz?

I care! I had no idea how complicated my engine control systems are. The result is impressive power, excellent low revs torque, & amazing fuel efficiency. I regularly get over 50 mpg, & on a run occasionally >60 mpg. Superb car.

@marty1945 My manual gearbox Kamiq has a manual handbrake & definitely does have hillhold. It operates on the footbrake.

Actually I found that my May 2023 does indeed have hill-hold. It only works if I hold the car on the foot brake, then release, it holds the car for approx 2 secs. I previously thought it was faulty as I always hold the car on a hill with the handbrake, then the hill-hold does not function. Not sure if this normal, it doesn’t seem very logical to discourage the use of the handbrake.

Darn! Thanks for clarifying Stonekeeper.

Ooops Stonekeeper,Hill Hold is there in the 2023 SE std equipment. Thanks again. I’m very pleased with the car, now to see how good, or not, Marshalls are at warranty work. Based on my previous Marshalls (other branch) experience with my Audi my expectations are not high.

Thanks Stonekeeper for all the info, I can’t see any mention of it as std-fit or option either. FYI it was a “to order” build May5th 2023.

Good morning Rooted, that was a fast reply given that this forum is fairly quiet . It’s a manual 1.5 SE Drive, as it’s near the top of the range I expected Hill Hold although the Škoda website impies it.s an option but doesn’t say on which model it’s an option, and of course the 2024 model levels are different.

May 2023 Kamiq SE Drive. Should the SE Drive have the Hill Hold feature? If it should mine isn't working
