The Skoda Karoq is one of the best options in the family SUV market, where it majors on practicality and comfort. Even in this highly competitive sector, it is certainly worthy of your consideration.
Indeed, the Karoq has an almost endless list of rivals, starting with the closely related SEAT Ateca and Volkswagen Tiguan (all three cars share the same underpinnings and engines). There is also the ubiquitous Ford Puma and Nissan Qashqai, of course, along with the Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage. The Peugeot 3008, Mazda CX-30 and the (more upmarket and expensive) Volvo XC40 are all vying for your attention, too.
If you are thinking about a used Skoda Karoq, keep reading for all the information you need. Why not check out the models available on heycar as well?
The Skoda Karoq is undoubtedly one of the best family SUVs around thanks to its ability to deliver exactly what owners want from this type of car. It’s a very popular used car choice, despite a long list of rivals.
What helps make the Karoq a winner is a spacious interior. Although it appears relatively compact on the outside, the Karoq has a Tardis-like cabin. Those in the front enjoy plenty of space, while the back seats are equally accommodating. Any Karoq in SE L trim or above will have clever VarioFlex seating, which allows for a trade-off between rear legroom and boot space. A luggage capacity of up to 588 litres is particularly generous for the class.
Not only is the Karoq’s interior spacious, it is comfortable as well. Rather than trying to be overtly sporty, Skoda has sensibly focused the Karoq on comfort and refinement. The front seats offer plenty of adjustment, while the rear doors open wide to make access easier. Everything feels like it is made from hard-wearing components.
With the revised model range from the middle of 2022, the Karoq gained an even more generous level of standard equipment across the board. This includes satellite navigation – easy to use thanks to the standard multimedia touchscreen – and wireless connectivity for smartphones. Rear parking sensors help avoid any concerns about reversing in tight spots.
On the road, the Karoq sticks to the comfort mantra. It absorbs bumps with ease, although Sportline models with larger alloy wheels do feel a little firmer. Ultimately, the Karoq is not a sporty car to drive, and it works better as a family SUV because of that.
We rate the Skoda Karoq highly, as it has very few weak points. Even in such a competitive used market, it stands out from contenders such as the Nissan Qashqai, Hyundai Tucson and Kia Sportage. It even manages to impress against the related Volkswagen Tiguan and SEAT Ateca. Should you be in need of a family SUV, the Skoda Karoq should certainly be on your shortlist.
A Skoda Karoq not for you? We've got 1000s of used cars for sale to suit all budgets and needs.
We think the Skoda Karoq SE offers the best value as a used buy from the pre-updated line-up. If you are looking for a used example, it’s worth finding one with those clever optional VarioFlex seats fitted.
Sat-nav can be deal breaker for some buyers, though, and we wouldn't steer you away from the Skoda Karoq SE Drive that comes with it fitted, or stepping up to SE L for even more extras. The Skoda Karoq Scout and Sportline are for those who are more design led, and Edition trim has a very impressive list of standard kit.
If you want four-wheel drive capability, then the 2.0-litre TDI is the only choice. For most buyers that don't need it, however, the excellent 1.5-litre TSI petrol is the one to go for, with its smooth performance and fairly reasonable efficiency. We would pair this up with a manual gearbox to save some money, but the dual-clutch auto also works well.
The 2022 Skoda Karoq is offered with an impressive choice of engines, split between petrol and diesel. There are no hybrid or plug-in hybrid options, however. Either a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG automatic gearbox is fitted, depending on the engine picked.
The Skoda Karoq was offered with a simplified model range of just three trim levels from mid-2022 (SE Drive, SE L & Sportline). On top of these, Skoda also offers a number of individual options and extras packages, allowing new car buyers to tailor a Karoq to suit their needs.
The Skoda Karoq’s exterior dimensions are:
The Skoda Karoq’s boot space is:
Introduced in 2017, the whole Skoda Karoq range pays the yearly road tax bill at the flat rate of £180, which is the same as most of the Karoq's direct rivals.
As a sensible family SUV, the Skoda Karoq won’t break the bank when it comes to insurance costs. Opting for a model with the diminutive 1.0-litre petrol engine sees the Karoq given a rating of insurance group 12 (out of 50). Moving up to the 1.5-litre petrol engines increases this to group 15. The 190hp 2.0-litre petrol Sportline is the most expensive Karoq to insure, with a group 25 rating. Diesel versions range from group 15 through to group 21.
