ŠKODA KAROQ

Introducing the KAROQ. Every journey can be the beginning of something. A valuable experience, a happy coincidence or a shared memory. And with the versatile ŠKODA KAROQ, you can make those journeys comfortably. With its unmissable SUV styling, the KAROQ is as practical as it is head-turning. Its proportions are underlined by a distinctive front grille and all-round protective elements. LED illumination and eye-catching alloy wheels complete the impressive exterior. Step inside, and you’ll be welcomed by customary ŠKODA offerings like spaciousness, all-you-can-have connectivity features and reassuring assistance systems. And for those of you looking for more adventurous detours, the KAROQ also comes with an optional 4x4 drive. That’s Simply Clever. That’s ŠKODA !

A new face

The new face of the KAROQ is a visible change at first glance. As with the ŠKODA KODIAQ, this represents an evolutionary shift in ŠKODA’s design language. “The modernised KAROQ now has a more confident look. The wider, hexagonal radiator grille and new front bumper make the front looks more muscular. The new layout of narrower LED headlights gives it a more dynamic look. The dynamic look of the rear is accentuated by the design of the new taillights. And the new roof spoiler visually elongates the car’s silhouette,” says chief designer Oliver Stefani.

Thanks to the new front and the wider, hexagonal radiator grille, the ŠKODA KAROQ now has a more rugged appearance. The headlights, narrower than those of its predecessor, have a new layout and are also available for the first time in an LED Matrix version. A number of other elements have also been changed: particularly the bumpers, but also the rear spoiler on top of the fifth door. The new front bumper is now the same colour as the rest of the car. At the bumper’s base is a wide inlet with the crystalline mesh structure on the sides, bordered by an L-shaped design feature drawing attention to the active vents by the front wheels. The taillights also have a new slimmer look, and the rear bumper also has the same paint finish as the body. Incidentally, the KAROQ will be available in a total of nine colours, two of which – Phoenix orange metallic and Graphite grey metallic – are completely new for this car.

The spoiler on the fifth door has been elongated, which smoothens out the car’s silhouette while helping to improve aerodynamics in conjunction with other modifications. This makes the KAROQ one of the most aerodynamic cars in its segment. Not surprisingly, as the engineers also redesigned the alloy wheels. These are again aerodynamically optimised, and in two cases can be fitted with special covers that improve airflow even further. All this helps to reduce CO2 emissions and fuel consumption. 

The KAROQ’s interior design, which uses more environmentally friendly materials, also contributes to reducing its environmental footprint. The optional ECO fabric upholstery, which uses recycled and recyclable materials of non-animal origin to upholster the seats and other areas, takes this idea furthest. “One major innovation is the new ECO fabric, which uses vegan, partially recycled and recyclable materials. The seat cover is made from recycled PET bottles,” says Oliver Stefani.

New material combinations and new equipment features, such as the optional electrically operated passenger seat with memory, make the new KAROQ’s interior a very welcoming and comfortable place. Needless to say, the spaciousness of its predecessor is retained, including a boot with a capacity of up to 521 litres.

Connectivity and modern assist systems

The new ŠKODA KAROQ also features a host of safety features and driving assistants, and the car can also be fitted with the state-of-the-art Travel Assist package, which substantially boosts convenience on long journeys. All the advanced technologies, including the urban emergency braking system, predictive cruise control, lane assist and other solutions are designed to minimise the likelihood of potential collisions. In the event of an accident, however, up to nine airbags and the “multi-collision” braking system, which immobilises the car after an accident and prevents further uncontrolled movement, will protect the occupants.

Proactive occupant protection is also available. If the radar located in the front of the car detects a crash hazard or hard braking, the system automatically closes the open windows or panoramic roof, activates the hazard lights and tightens the front seat belts.

The driver is assisted by an innovative on-board system. The KAROQ now comes with the Virtual Cockpit mini with an eight-inch display as standard; a 10.25-inch Virtual Cockpit with a wider range of functions is available as an option. There are also three different infotainment levels with displays ranging from 8 to 9.2 inches. Of course, there are also connectivity functions, especially in the higher infotainment levels, or the Laura digital assistant, which understands a total of fifteen languages.

The KAROQ SE L is a luxury trim offering heated front seats and steering wheel, front and rear parking sensors with rear view camera and finished off with eye-catching Chrome detail.​​

The KAROQ SportLine proves that you can look the part no matter when or where. This trim offers generous space and modern connectivity features to experience adventure in total comfort.
