Skoda Kamiq

In the compact crossover ring the Skoda Kamiq plays the sensible everyman—generous boot, clever storage and frugal engines—while the VW Taigo strikes a pose with coupe‑like styling and a slightly livelier, more characterful drive. If you need practical space and everyday value, pick the Kamiq; if headline-grabbing looks and a bit more personality matter, the Taigo is your fun, slightly flashier choice.
