Skoda Kamiq SUV front and rear first sketch revealed


For those keen on the Skoda Kamiq’s development, the company has now revealed two design sketches. It’s much awaited world premier will result in the vehicle showcase at the 2019 Geneva Motor Show.

In line with the Czech automaker’s SUV design language, the new sketches show off design highlights, and split headlight with daytime running lights (DRLs) above, a first for Skoda. This is a design feature that we’ve seen in the recently launched Tata Harrier.

The new two-part LED headlamp design encompasses daytime running light strips positioned above the main headlights. Skoda Kamiq features dynamic front and rear indicators. Keeping it premium are the headlamp lenses with crystalline effects and LED units.

Skoda Kamiq SUV features wide, upright radiator grille double slats upfront, in line with Skoda’s SUV design language. As with any longish Skoda bonnet, its sculpted lines stand out in a tall, muscular stance that takes care of the SUV’s side profile.

Considering the SUV is smaller than a full sized SUV, it’s exterior design language stresses on vehicle appearance that mimics a longer look. This is brought to fruition with its tornado line that adds to an elongated visual appeal in harmony with the vehicle’s dynamic roofline. Building on its robust off-road appeal is a silver-coloured front spoiler.

Extra ground clearance, large wheels and diffuser make up Skoda Kamiq’s sporty appeal. A clear and well defined rear demonstrates Skoad’s re-interpretation of its classic C-shaped taillight design. This is also the company’s first SUV that will feature Skoda lettering in the middle of the tailgate instead of company logo.

Oliver Stefani, Skoda Chief Designer says “In our new KAMIQ city SUV we’ve implemented a completely new headlamp configuration. The two-part headlamps with daytime running lights above are a first for Å KODA. They give the KAMIQ a unique appearance and represent another interpretation of our successful SUV design language.”

Race 3 movie review: Not a Salman Khan fan? Mind your own business

Race 3 Director  - Remo D’Souza Cast  - Salman Khan, Bobby Deol, Jacqueline Fernandez, Anil Kapoor, Saqib Saleem, Daisy Shah Rating  - 1/5 During one of the many forced fist fights in Race 3, Salman Khan is getting the better of his opponents when he is hit by a rod. He smirks, turns towards the camera and punches the enemy in face as if he is punishing the man for not recognising the Bhai of Bollywood. The camera doesn’t cut to the rod, which, I am sure, is broken in half by now. Such is Salman’s unparalleled rage and such is the vision of director Remo D’Souza. Race 3 is everything film students are taught not to do, but then what do they know? From the first scene in which Anil Kapoor blows up a gang member with the help of a pen bomb to Salman coming to the rescue of his family in a base-jump suit, Race 3 unabashedly targets the fans. There isn’t any pretension of logical filmmaking or sound screenplay. It seems Race 3 categorically wants the non-Salman fans ...

Samsung will unveil the Galaxy S9 next month

Samsung will unveil its next flagship handset, the Galaxy S9, next month at Mobile World Congress (MWC). The company’s smartphone chief, DJ Koh, confirmed the launch to  ZDNet  at CES yesterday. Koh didn’t offer a specific date, but MWC will run from February 26th to March 1st this year, so expect the unveiling to fall somewhere in that time frame. The S9 (and, presumably, an S9 Plus) will be the successors to the S8 and S8 Plus, which launched at a Samsung event in New York last March before going on sale in April. The S8 and its bigger brother were a hit with critics, who praised the phones’ gorgeous design and brilliant cameras. The phones were even good enough to make consumers forget about the disaster of the Galaxy Note 7 and its exploding batteries. Not much is known about the Galaxy S9 at this point, though we’re not expecting any radical departures from the S8. A handful of leaked renders suggest it will look near-identical to its predecessor, with a sl...
