to be a part of the lineup. However, the China-only GT variant is a sportier version of the Kamiq, and we do want it in India. SAIC Skoda in China will unveil the upcoming vehicle on November 4.
The company claims that the SUV has been "developed exclusively for China and in China andndash; [to] complete Skoda's SUV portfolio in its largest single market." SAIC and Skoda co-developed the design, according to a press release from the company. The concept vehicle was seen first in China in June, at the Shenzhen International Auto Show. From the sketches, the Kamiq GT has redesigned headlamps which replace the high-brow LED DRL design of the Euro-spec model. Changes to the grille and bumper are also apparent. The Kamiq GT appears to have a slightly different rear end, with different rear windows and a slightly curvier Hoffman kink in the rear window glass.
The new model is also decidedly sportier than the Euro-spec Kamiq, with silver and black accents on the front and rear bumpers. SAIC Skoda will launch the car in Tianjin on November 4. Since it is the latest update of the Kamiq line, it is possible that the compact SUV which Skoda plans to bring to India is inspired by the Kamiq GT. If SAVWIPL goes the same route as Hyundai, the upcoming India-spec models may be similar to the ones in China.
