AutoExec Summary
Skoda’s updated Kamiq does not offer any form of electrification, while the brand’s first fully-electric offering, the Enyaq, faces delays in Australia. Skoda Australia expressed interest in a hybrid version of the Kamiq if it had been available, but the current models only come in petrol variants. The Enyaq is now expected to arrive later than originally planned, with the Elroq SUV set to follow soon after. Skoda is planning to introduce six new electric models by 2026, including the Epiq and a seven-seat family SUV. Skoda aims to reduce the gap between European launches and Australian availability.

Brands mentioned: Skoda, Hyundai, Toyota, Volkswagen, Mazda, MG, BYD, GWM, Ora.
