What is the engine model of the Skoda Kamiq GT?
2 Answers
The Kamiq is equipped with the EA211 engine, a 1.5L engine. This EA211 engine has a maximum power output of 81KW and a maximum torque of 150NM. The most significant feature of this engine: Energy saving and emission reduction. Within the EA211 engine family, it is significantly more fuel-efficient than the 1.6L engine (the 1.6L engine has a fuel consumption of 6.6L per 100km according to the Ministry of Industry and Information Technology, while the 1.5L engine consumes 5.7L). Additionally, compared to the 1.2T and 1.4T engines, it is more cost-effective. The importance of the engine: The engine is the heart of a car and must be well-maintained to ensure it functions properly.
I previously owned a Skoda Kamiq GT, which drove very smoothly. Its engine models are typically the EA211 series 1.5L naturally aspirated (code DMB) or the 1.2T turbocharged (code DADA). I bought it in the Chinese market and tried the 1.5L version, which outputs 112 horsepower—plenty for daily use and quite fuel-efficient, with city commuting fuel consumption around 6 liters per 100 kilometers. The 1.2T version has 116 horsepower, offering stronger acceleration, making it more suitable for highway driving. The engine is quite durable overall, and maintenance at the dealership is hassle-free. I recommend checking the model year when choosing a car—most post-2020 models come with this configuration, so be careful not to confuse different markets. If you're on a budget, the 1.5L offers great value, with low noise levels and comfort for long trips. This engine is derived from the Volkswagen platform and is quite reliable, but it's best to check the VIN code to confirm the specific model.
