Skoda Karoq 2.0 TDI [150] Sportline 4x4 5dr DSG Review

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 equipmentWith Sportline trim, you’re mainly paying for a sportier look with its 18in wheels, panoramic roof, sports seats, black detailing, and more aggressive front and rear bumpers. It can't be had with the excellent VarioFlex rear seats.
The engine
See full engine specsThis 148bhp 2.0 diesel is gutsy from low revs and is very nearly as quick as the 1.5 TSI 150 petrol. The TDI 150 is available with optional four-wheel drive, and the added traction that provides could come in useful if you plan to do any towing or simply live up a slippery lane.
