Skoda Karoq (2017-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Very roomy and practical	Some issues with 1.5 petrol engine
Comfortable on the road	Slightly anonymous styling
Plenty of standard equipment	Some rivals are nicer to drive

Quick Summary

The Skoda Karoq, launched in 2017, is a practical and comfortable SUV positioned between the Kamiq and Kodiaq. It offers a raised driving position and has received updates in 2022 and 2024, enhancing its design, standard equipment, and trim levels. The Karoq boasts excellent interior space with generous headroom and legroom for all passengers, making it a very good family car. Boot space is impressive at 521 litres, or 588 litres with the optional Varioflex seating system, which allows for individual sliding, folding, or removal of rear seats to expand luggage capacity up to 1,810 litres.

While prioritising refinement and comfort over agility, the Karoq is a decent car to drive, particularly 4x4 versions which benefit from more sophisticated multi-link rear suspension. It offers a range of efficient petrol and diesel engines, including a 114bhp 1.0-litre TSI and a 148bhp 1.5 TSI, alongside a 148bhp 2.0-litre diesel. All models come with comprehensive safety equipment and a connected infotainment system, with higher trims adding larger screens and advanced driver aids. Running costs are reasonable, and Skoda's "Simply Clever" features add to its user-friendly appeal.

Best for: Families needing space and practicality, buyers prioritising comfort and refinement, those looking for good value and standard equipment in an SUV.

Not ideal for: Drivers seeking sporty handling and agility, those who dislike anonymous styling, or buyers needing hybrid/PHEV options.
