Skoda Karoq Prices and Specifications

SE is the entry-level trim in the Skoda Karoq range, but equipment levels are still pretty generous. Kit includes smart looking 17-inch alloy wheels, automatic emergency braking, rear parking sensors, climate control and an eight-inch infotainment screen that has Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and Smartlink to mirror the display of your smartphone and use its apps for things such as sat-nav and music streaming.

The SE Drive model comes with an upgraded infotainment system over the SE model, called Amundsen. It includes sat-nav, smartphone connectivity and online features. There are also parking sensors and a reversing camera.

SE L is the mid-range model trim level in the Skoda Karoq range. A chrome pack and bigger 18-inch alloy wheels mean they look smarter on the outside than the entry-level car, and on the inside you get suede-like Alcantara upholstery that looks and feels plush. SE L models get an eight-inch screen with built in satellite navigation, heated front seats and a rear parking camera. Perhaps the biggest bonus is the VarioFlex rear seats that give you a variety of seating options and can also be removed completely to make way for huge loads.

The Skoda Karoq Sport Line comes with 19-inch alloy wheels, a panoramic sunroof upgraded front and rear bumpers with Sport Line badging and a rear diffuser. Metallic paint is also included as standard, as are upgraded seats with contrasting silver stitching. Unlike in some other Karoq models, you get a black roof lining, a leather-trimmed steering wheel and Sport Line badging on various interior trim pieces. Other standard features include an electric bootlid, an eight-speaker stereo and an 8.0-inch touchscreen infotainment display with satellite navigation built in. Just like in other Karoq models, you get dual-zone climate control and rear parking sensors as standard.

Edition models feel quite posh, but make the Karoq a little too expensive. Huge 19-inch alloy wheels make them look sporty on the outside (and less comfy on bumpy roads than SE L models) and inside you get a massive panoramic sunroof, a leather interior, electrically operated front seats and Skoda’s upgraded 9.2-inch infotainment screen, which is quicker and sharper looking than the basic system.
