Skoda Karoq Reviews

With the aim of slicing away some market share from the dominant players in the medium SUV segment, Skoda has created a new entry-level version of its Karoq. Could it make you think twice about a Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail or Mitsubishi Outlander? Our launch drive review could help you decide.

The updated Skoda Karoq (pronounced ka-ROCK) seems like an 'all-rounder'. It's large enough for the family's odd roadie but compact enough to handle tight city streets. It's also easy for the oldies to understand but its design will still appeal to younger drivers. If you can get past the Ikea mentality when it comes to price building (everything costs extra), then it might surprise you.

The Skoda Karoq doesn’t sell in huge numbers and is something of a hidden gem among its medium SUV rivals. Can a mid-life facelift change its fortunes?

The new Karoq has arrived and it's now available in two grades, but could the more affordable one be the smartest buy?

Skoda's 2020 model year update for its small mid-size SUV brings with it an all-new sporty variant. Should you consider it over its many rivals?

The Skoda Karoq may not have the cult following that the Yeti had, but it is a charming and super-flexible model with plenty of nice attributes. But getting the best Karoq does come at quite a price...

Don't you sometimes sit around wishing for a more considerate, clever car? There are some car companies out there who spend productive days dreaming up clever, considerate ways cars can be more of service than just driving from point A to point B. Skoda is one of those companies. I test drove the Skoda Karoq this week, a five-seater small to mid-size SUV that is only in its second year on sale in Australia. It's bigger than it looks, and competes with everything from a Nissan Qashqai and Honda HR-V to the Mazda CX-5. There is one base, petrol FWD model and then you can add extras from there, which is actually a good way to do things. Here's how it performed over my week of family driving.

We know what you're thinking; why would I consider a Skoda Karoq over a critically acclaimed SUV from its VW parent company?’ Read on for your answer.

I don't know if you believe in yetis, but sighting one of those supposedly mythical furry creatures is almost as rare as seeing the precursor SUV to this all-new model, the Skoda Karoq.
