Skoda Karoq: Facelifted family SUV is better than ever

Just ordered our 2nd sportline 1.5 TSI, wouldn't have an electric vehicle for a number reasons

a karoq vr6 or a 2.5 tfsi would be great

Think I may well get 1 on Motability scheme as i also need large Boot for my wheelchair , i really like the look of this vehicle

I'm on my second Superb SE L. But I'm afraid the price of them now is prohibitive for me, as is the Kodiaq. How ever, it's junior stable mate looks like a sure winner for me. I will be going for the 1.5 petrol DSG. It is so fast and smooth, especially in sport mode, even in big car like the Superb estate, you will not need the 2 litre version.

I wish these reviews would contain parking tests

I am not convinced about electric cars, as they are very expensive for less flexibility I now drive a E class coupe (2013 model) which is fantastic to look at but difficult to get in and out of I am reluctant to buy a SUV however am seriously considering a Karoc

Shame it’s not a TDi & doesn’t come with ACC as standard

Skoda interiors are getting REALLY boring now

I test drove the karoq and noticed the central right air vent is very annoyingly almost directly behind top left edge of steering wheel can some owners comment on this please, cheers.

Just ordered 2nd karoq. The only downside is that the adaptive cruise control, blind spot detection and road sign recognition should be standard on the Se-L. Similar Fords have it

Beautifully done Rebecca.

I am getting mine today <3 good video

We love our Karoq Edition. Bought it in Sept 2020 and we’ve covered 13,000 miles in it. We spec’d it with a host of extras - none of which were particularly expensive. All the car’s advantages far outweigh a couple of gripes. Namely, a skittery rear suspension and too-short holding straps on the VarioFlex rear seats when “tumbled”

if it doesn't have lane assist then its on the shopping list

What other cars have removeable back seats? This seems a great feature to me, there must be loads like me who almost never use them.

I recently took delivery of a 1.5 DSG sport line in the moon white and I can’t fault the car.
Loads of room great to drive and a really nice looking car.
The 1.5 engine has plenty of poke and I got 43 mpg on a long motorway run.

I own one and its the best decision i took..its so good to drive

Skoda U.K. will shortly remove these from the British market I read. So if you want one you’ll have to be quick or get an Ateca or Tiguan. I have one as a holiday home runabout and it’s plain but very good. The 1.5 petrol is punchy and people always ask what engine is in it? The auto box is smooth and the digital display is very futuristic. Loads of spec for the price.

Think I'd go for an Octavia estate, bigger boot, more economical and the infotainment system appears to be a generation newer than the Karoq you've shown here. The only thing the Karoq has got over the Octaiva, in my opinion, is the fancy rear seat setup.

I enjoyed watching this very honest review.
I recently took delivery of my new Fabia colour edition, I do like the Karoq very much, however as I don’t have a large family, it’s slightly larger than my needs require.
The lack of hybrid/electric options doesn’t put me off at all, in fact it keeps the price at a realistic level.

I have a 2019 Karoq with 1.5L Auto petrol plus the additional electronic cockpit, brilliant, the fuel economy over 28,000 miles has averaged 37.5 MPG, better on long runs, lower on short about town work. Having come to the brand from many years of BMW company cars, the Karoq is real value for money, does everything you ask of it and the seats are very comfortable, regular 3-4 hour journeys are no issue. The entertainment system is OK and Apple car play works well. The inbuilt mapping is good in terms of quality but not as slick as Goggle maps for flagging jams and roadworks. Overall we are really pleased with the Karoq, cannot recommend too highly.

Ur crazy I had and still have a karoq but I defo will not be owning another one I have the 1.5 technology version its the worse car I ever owned slow as hell gears way to close together and the infortainment is messed up and constant warning lights even after having it updated

Slight mistake in the review - the sportline (which is above the sel in the range) doesn't get there varioflex seats (as it has sports seats instead!)

I still prefer the SEAT Ateca cousin. The folding/removable rear seats in the Karoq rob loads of headroom and my head was pressed against the roof. No such issues in the Ateca.

Another brilliant review from you guys-btw i am waiting for you guys to review the new Honda E-Thanks a ton-Loved the review.

It's very unexciting to look at typically Volkswagen group boring

Always buy a diesel if you can they are cleaner than EVs petrol or Hybrids. More economical and robust

It is litre not liter

Another informative, superb review by Rebecca, who incidently looks terrific in pony tails.
Prince Harry missed the boat on his choice of Princess.....🧐🙄😤

I think, here in the states, we get this as a Taos CUV. Underwhelming at best, built to a price-point but not much more. I do like it, but would never buy one. The VW group treats most of their products like a marketing/demographic science of weights and measures. It might work on paper (and it typically does) but does it incite the wow-factor or illicit more passion for the brands? Maybe, at some level, maybe, but not for me. But attention and the fun-factor leans more towards the new I.D. Buzz since design and mechanical prowess does matter. With that said, I would rather buy a used Golf TDI estate over most of their current offerings.

Yet another 'bland' looking suv vehicle that people these days want...no disrespect to skoda as it's a decent interior but where is the style 🤔 a lovely sleek estate car is so much nicer on the eye...great review as always Rebecca 👌

Both car & presenter are lovely

Let’s just say it’s not exactly my kind of car.

Well done Skoda for not doing an electric or hybrid. Silly things. The Karoq is a decent if not spectacular car but won’t let you down. Over the long term, functionality and practicality win the race.

We swapped our 4 year old discovery sport for an karoq as a stopgap, planning to order another discovery sport later that same year. Three years later, we still had the karoq and loved it. So impressed were we with the skoda, we recently upgraded to an enyaq and again, we love it!

Only version of this I would go for due to the motorway miles that I do would be the diesel.

I have to agree Rebecca , the Skoda Karoq is a great all round car that is well proven. It's well equipped, roomy and super versatile. I think the understated looks add to the charm and not being in your face. Economy might not be class leading but for an SUV that's slightly more aerodynamic than a cathedral it's pretty good even on the 1.5 4x4 auto that was available in the UK for a time in 2019 (mid 30's in mine). it A very well done review! Thank you for sharing.

I got one on order

Looking good Rebecca

Thank you for the review Rebecca. Can you or anyone in your team help me choose a car for myself. Small family.

The fuel economy surprised me, in a bad way for a 1.5 TSI engine. I'm getting a long term average 36mpg from my 2L petrol mk3 Octavia vRS and that has 230 ps so it must be the relatively poor aerodynamics SUVs have I guess compared to normal hatchback or saloons?

Sombrah?

Still a missing banana 🍌

Best car reviewer on the planet. Karoq is pretty good too. I had my 1.5 dsg remapped and it's crazy.

Anotjer boring car and skoda

First!❤
