The model
Read full Skoda Karoq reviewThe Skoda Karoq is a top-drawer family SUV, perfectly mixing an impressive interior, good driving characteristics and a comfortable ride with clever seating options, a big boot and plenty of space for passengers. The entry-level 1.0 TSI 116 petrol engine is a good option to keep costs down, but we’d pay a little extra and go for the more powerful 1.5-litre petrol.
The trim
See full equipmentSE L comes with some useful extras, including VarioFlex rear seats, keyless entry and start, drive mode select, all-round parking sensors and a rear-view camera. It’s our favourite version of the Karoq.
The engine
See full engine specsThe 1.5 TSI 150 petrol is our pick of the range. It deals with heavier loads and faster open roads more ably than the 1.0 TSI thanks to a very useful 148bhp and even greater low-rev urgency. Acceleration is punchy throughout the rev range, with 0-60mph taking just under 9.0 seconds.
