New Skoda Karoq In Depth UK Review 2023 - The most versatile option ?

Автокөліктер мен көлік құралдары

BUY, LEASE OR FINANCE A SKODA KAROQ FROM OSV - bit.ly/3qGYwh1
Skoda's best selling SUV is this one, the Karoq, a mid-sized Qashqai-class Crossover originally introduced back in 2017 which went on to become the brand's second best selling model, generating more than half a million sales in sixty countries. But time moves on and the segment this car competes in gets ever-more competitive, hence the need in mid-2022 for the updated model we're going to look at here.
At its original introduction, this Skoda was basically a successor to the brand's popular Yeti line of compact SUVs, but the Czech maker re-named it to designate the fact that this was a slightly larger and considerably more versatile product. It sits just above the little Kamiq and just below the seven-seat Kodiaq in a line-up of Skoda SUVs that now accounts for 50% of the marque's total sales. If you're wondering, by the way, if the word 'Karoq' has any meaning, then we'll tell you that it's taken from the language of an Alaskan tribe and, roughly translated, means 'car arrow'. Make of that what you will.

    I clicked thumbs up after a minute or so. This is how every review should be - well presented, loads of content, no stupidness pretending to be a comedy side act, just the information we're all looking for, so bravo sir for that! As for the video - I'm researching mid-large SUVs on Motability Scheme, and nearly didn't consider this - I'm glad I saw your review, however I just don't think this is anywhere near the Tiguan, Kuga ST x or [my current fav] the KIA Sportage GT Line. Anyone care to differ / or to offer any other advice on my choices so far?

    Just purchased the SEL 1.5TSI auto and already getting 45+mpg steadily at motorway speeds. Only issue I have is the road noise, which seems to be down to the noisey bridgestone tyres that have been fitted. To be fair that is the only issue I have with the vehicle. Don't forget to activate the particulate filter in the aircon system. It is a godsend as it stops the car gathering dust and even cuts down some of the more unpleasant road smells that other vehicles produce.

    Hi, did you consider buying Octavia? Me and my gf are in predicament of choosing between the two. Both of us like higher driving position in Karoq, we like the looks etc but on the other hand Octavia has a bigger trunk, is more aero efficient, a bit more modern when it comes to interior design. We can't decide!

    I'm in same boat, I speced a half decent octavia & karoq, the karoq came in a good bit cheaper. I've noticed the right hand vent on the centre is annoyingly right behind the steering wheel, well its close enough to be very annoying anyway.

    It’s notable how many ‘standard’ features in earlier models have now been moved to optional purchases. In particular the Edition trim version which featured many extras as standard has gone all together from the range. The SE L can be spec’d up with leather seats and other additions to match the Edition trim. I have a 2019 Edition Karoq which is well spec’d . I used the Skoda configuration to add these to the current SE L and arrived at a package price of over £46k -Ouch! -Manufacturers are using smoke and mirror tactics to cover the rapidly increasing price of cars to deliver far less well featured vehicles.

    @@OsvUkVehicleSupply Thank you very much! I’ll check that out. I have been aware of the chip shortage and that it has played a part in vehicle availability. -A friend of mine who ordered a Land Rover was hit badly with delays of over a year at the peak. It’s interesting to see how manufacturers have responded to this, with model revisions, ‘face lifts’ and options pricing to prevent brand devaluation. It’s a supply chain management change that has manifested in design revisions and subtle adjustments to consumer expectations. This clever ‘less is more’ approach has heaped a whole load of costs onto the consumer who fancies a few extras.

    The cylinder deactivation to increase fuel economy is a gimmick. It’s so hard to achieve. Purchased new the 1.5 petrol automatic late last year (2023)The conditions to achieve cylinder deactivation are so hard to maintain. Normal driving barely ever cause deactivation to operate. Even on motorway just the touch of the accelerator causes it to cease. Average 32 mpg on mostly dual carriageway driving. My much older 2 litre petrol golf (2002) was more economical per mile. It’s a little bit of a bigger car than my previous but the mpg is far worse than I would have imagined. Not economical price per mile…

    Very boring car in the segment now in comparison to the Kia Sportage. The interior and exterior design language just seems so dated and is massively overdue. When you think 2017 as the first version. It’s changed very little. That’s too long before a proper refresh.
