Milton Keynes, 23 October 2024 – In a bid to further solidify its reputation for delivering exceptional value, Škoda has unveiled an extensive refresh of its Karoq lineup. This revamp introduces three new trim grades: the SE Edition, SE L Edition, and SportLine Edition, each designed to provide significantly enhanced standard equipment, reflecting Škoda’s commitment to customer satisfaction and value for money.
Comprehensive Upgrades Across the Board
The updated Karoq models come equipped with an impressive array of features, many of which were previously optional or reserved for higher-spec models. The inclusion of heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a reversing camera as standard across all three trims signifies Škoda’s focus on comfort and practicality, especially during the chilly British winters.
Karoq SE Edition: Starting from £29,975 OTR
Replacing the former SE Drive model, the Karoq SE Edition sets the standard with a host of desirable features. This trim level includes front parking sensors, a rear-view camera, and keyless entry, enhancing convenience and safety for everyday driving.
Karoq SE L Edition: Starting from £32,150 OTR
Building on the robust specification of its predecessor, the SE L Edition adds a wealth of premium features. Highlights include an electrically-operated boot with virtual pedal functionality, adaptive cruise control, and a sophisticated 9.2-inch Škoda infotainment system complete with navigation. This model perfectly balances comfort and technology, catering to the modern driver’s needs.
Karoq SportLine Edition: Starting from £36,390 OTR
As the sporty flagship of the Karoq range, the SportLine Edition elevates the driving experience with cutting-edge features. Notable additions include dynamic chassis control and progressive steering, both of which enhance handling and responsiveness. This edition also boasts hill descent control for 4×4 engines, heated rear seats, a heated windscreen, and the same advanced infotainment system as the SE L Edition, ensuring both performance and luxury.
Engine Options and Performance
The Karoq continues to offer a versatile selection of powertrains, featuring four engine options—three petrol and one diesel. Engine outputs range from 116PS with the 1.0 TSI to a robust 190PS with the 2.0 TSI. Additionally, a seven-speed DSG gearbox is available with the 1.5 TSI 150PS engine and is standard on the more powerful 2.0 TSI 190PS and 2.0 TDI 150PS models. This breadth of options allows buyers to select a model that aligns perfectly with their performance preferences and driving style.
With prices starting from £29,975 OTR and order books now open, the enhanced Škoda Karoq range is set to make a significant impact in the compact SUV segment. First deliveries are anticipated for late November, providing eager customers with the opportunity to experience a blend of advanced technology, comfort, and driving pleasure that Škoda continues to champion.
