We have two innovative bicycle manufacturers to thank for today Skoda cars;clav Laurin and clav Klement, who produced their first car in 1905. Some 70 years later, Volkswagen bought into the brand and the modern-day Skoda range now carries their influence.
Skoda represents excellent value for money, with economy and efficiency being high on the priority list.
According to What Car? Magazine, not only have Skoda Karoq owners given this model five stars, but it's also been voted as 2019 Best Family SUV. Whether you're looking for a roomy family vehicle or something to have a bit of off-road fun with, there is sure to be a Skoda Karoq model that fits the bill!
You can choose from four different engines, ranging from the super-economical 1.0 litre petrol, through to the meatier 2.0 litre TDI version. For urban driving, the 1.0 litre petrol or 1.6 litre diesels are probably the best choice. If you spend more time on the open road, the 1.5 litre petrol or 2.0 litre diesel options give you a quieter, smoother ride.
The Skoda Karoq is a more compact version of its cousin, the Kodiaq. Skoda produced this model to fill a niche in the smaller SUV market and it appeals to those who like the idea of SUV styling, but don't need the power or size of a larger vehicle. All Karoq models are customisable, with a big range of optional features. Here are some of the most popular trims:
There is no such thing as "basic" where the Skoda Karoq is concerned. The SE comes complete with refinements usually only found in more luxury brands. Included are 17" alloy wheels, dual-zone climate control, DAB radio and much more.
The SE L has further useful features to the SE. These include Skoda's innovative 'VarioFlex' rear seats, heated front seats, chrome roof rails, an 8" screen navigation system and parking sensors.
Currently top of the range is the "Edition" model. As standard, you get a panoramic sunroof, massive 19" alloys and full LED lighting, inside and out. Add to the list a state-of-the art entertainment/navigation system, leather seats, pedestrian protection system and a rear parking camera quite a package!
Driving a Skoda Karoq gives you all of the advantages of a big car, whilst handling like a small car. Road-holding is excellent and every model comes with impressive safety features. Inside, the Karoq is very spacious and not lacking in creature comforts in terms of audio and climate control.
All of the Karoq models are available with a 6-speed manual or 7-speed automatic gearbox, making them a real pleasure to drive. The two smaller engines are particularly economical and ideally suited to city living. LeaseCar customers often opt for one of the larger engine sizes for travelling longer distances.
Skoda hasn't cut any corners where safety is concerned. In addition to ABS, the Karoq has a 'brake assist', electronic traction control and a hill holder to prevent rollback. Inside, the Karoq is fitted with head restraints for all seats and multiple airbags for both front and rear passengers. The Skoda Karoq boasts a Euro NCAP rating of five stars.
