At the rear, the Skoda Scala has retained its iconic extended rear window that reaches down to the taillights, although the 'Skoda' lettering on the tailgate has been updated to match the firm's new corporate image.

The Skoda Kamiq, meanwhile, also gets a new grille. Now larger and stands more upright, itss double slats have also been made more prominent, giving the Kamiq a more rugged look.
