Today space is paid for, and for many customers it is an essential requirement when buying a car. That is why offers like the one we are dealing with today make sense, which is none other than the Skoda Kamiq, a Czech SUV that declares 400 liters of luggage space and that it can be ours for 19,500 eurosthus allowing the Czech model to establish itself as one of the cars with the best space-price ratio, but with a trick?
The truth is that yes, that Skoda demands to accept renting to be able to get hold of your access SUV for less than 130. That is why it is necessary to read the fine print and discover if we are really facing a smart purchase or, on the contrary, facing a tremendous bump due to the feared -and many times happy- interests.

But not only the interests can end what promised to be a good offer, but also the configuration of the car associated with it.

Be that as it may, the Ambition finish includes standard elements such as 16-inch wheels, LED lights, a multifunction steering wheel trimmed in leather, involuntary lane change assistant and an 8-inch touch screen with connection to Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, bi-directional climate control. -automatic zone and rear parking sensor among others.
In terms of mechanics, the Czech firm’s SUV boasts a rather modest engine, a 1.0-liter three-cylinder turbocharger that produces 95 hp and 175 Nm of torque. These are figures that are orchestrated by means of a five-speed manual gearbox, thus achieving a 0 to 100 in 11.1 seconds and a top speed of 181 km/h. But the true high point of the Skoda Kamiq is found in its combined consumption, which declares 5.5 liters per 100 under the WLTP cycle.
Now, what does Skoda require for the Kamiq to be ours for 129 euros per month? The first thing is to face an entry of 4,593.27 euros, payment that will allow us to access 48 installments of 129 euros. To this we must add a TIN of 7.75%, an APR of 8.84%, an opening commission of 479.34 euros and an annual mileage limited to 20,000 kilometers.
Once the four years of leasing are over, Skoda allows us to return it, exchange it for another model or keep it. In case of opting for this last step, we will have to pay a final installment of 14,531.25 euros, causing that, together with interest of 4,745.15 euros, the total price in installments is 25,795.86 euros, a figure that seems high compared to the 20,571.37 euros that a Skoda Kamiq of the same configuration costs but paid in cash. Although it is true that it can be very attractive if we do not decide to keep it.
