Kamiq 2023 facelift.

[fergiet]

Does anyone know when the facelift is due. All the articles I have read just say 2023.

Curious as I have an order in.

They have put it on hold as to reduce the backlog of current version may be end of year or early next. If you have put an order for current version this what you will get you have to do a new order for facelift when it comes out

The facelift won’t be much different anyway, so nothing lost.

Karoq Facelift looks much more cool than previous one. I hope with Kamiq will be the same story 🙂

Not from what I’ve seen, doesn’t look that much different.  Much like the face lifted Fabia, it doesn’t look too different from the previous one.

Normal Kamiqs have room for visual improvements, but, could the Monte Carlo look any cooler with a facelift? 😎 

Just asking 🤣

Skoda have probably lost 6+ months of production due to lockdowns, suspended shifts due to parts shortages etc.  So makes sense that Kamiq facelift is delayed.  Have heard Octavia facelift also delayed.  
 

The Karoq is older (introduced 2017) so plans for a facelift would have been almost 2 years earlier than the 2019 Kamiq

The Fabia 4 is not a facelift its all new. They have to keep it looking something like a Fabia otherwise it would have a different name

^^^ Exactly. Uses the MQB A0 platform,

so on a different platform which is different from the All New 3rd Generation from 2014 which was not all new just built based on the PQ26 and some PQ25 and some MQB.

Not even new Type Approval was required.

Ok then I will reiterate.  The “all new” Fabia doesn’t look much different to the previous model.

 

The principle and the point I am making is still the same🙄😂😂

@carefree

That is maybe until you have them side by side to compare, have you seen the Mk3 and 4 side by side to compare?

Yep, they don’t look all that different on the road, bearing in mind the new model isn’t JUST a facelift.
