I currently drive a 2016 diesel Octavia and looking for a newer Skoda. It will be my 5th 😀

Circumstances mean that we can consider a car slightly smaller than the Octavia. Plus, I didn't realise how much more second hand Octavia's now go for......

Happy to go with a smaller petrol engine such as the 1l. Curious to enquire with anyone that has test driven or owned both the Scala & Kamiq about cabin & boot sizes. I have read reviews and watched Youtube videos that seem to contradict each other. Ranging from they are the same size, excepting the height , Kamiq being taller - to the Scala has a larger cabin and boot than the Kamiq.

Looking at Autotrader, we are not blessed in the local area of examples to go view and test immediately. Hence this post.

There seems to be consistent comments that the Scala is blessed with generous cabin and boot sizes. This is interesting as we look to move from an Octavia.

many thanks.

Hi, I've changed my Octavia estate for a Scala, and other than boot space (obviously) I find it almost as roomy in the cabin. I looked at a Kamiq, but the boot area is slightly smaller, which wouldn't have suited my dog. It's a lovely car to drive and, so far, has been fault free.

Thank you. I'm going to focus on the Scala. Seems a good step down from the Octavia

Another recommendation for the Scala from me, I went from a Karoq to a Scala and have zero regrets.

My grown up kids both prefer being a back seat passenger in the Scala over the Karoq, both say it’s roomier and more comfortable.

I looked at the Kamiq before buying the Scala but the smaller boot (compared to the Scala), usability of the boot space and overall looks led me to the Scala.

Thanks all.

Took a 22 plate Scala for a test drive today. It had the SE L trim. At 6'3", and the drivers seat fully back, I was still able to behind with enough comfy leg room. Sold!

Collect later next week. I will miss the Octavia - this will be Skoda #5!
