Skoda's Karoq is aimed at the mid-size SUV market, and starts at £20,875. Although higher-spec models are more like £28,000.
-
It replaces the much-loved Skoda Yeti, although it is bigger and more practical than the Yeti in nearly every respect.
-
Rear end styling of the Karoq is best described as neat - but it does have some interesting tech. You can specify a foot operated boot for when your hands are full.
-
The interior is much plusher than some would expect from a Skoda. Alacantara (a man made suede) is found in top spec cars, and there are nice little touches throughout. For example, wireless charging for your mobile can be specified, and there's a little bin within the cabin, just big enough for greasy snacks you don't want staining the interior.
-
Connectivity is high up on Skoda's agenda. You can get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto - allowing you to access certain apps via the car's touchscreen.
-
Rear seating is clever, and spacious. There's enough room in the back for a six footer, even if a fellow six footer is driving or a passenger.
-
Varioflex seating means that all three rear seats are indendent. They can be moved into different positions individually, or removed entirely.
