Re: Karoq in the snow

I bought a set of 4 Vredestein Quatrac Pro tyres for our Karoq for less than £500, and I sold the original Bridgestone Turanza’s on eBay for £185 plus shipping. I found a decent courier company called Paisley Freight who specialise in shipping bulky items like car wheels and tyres (£32.99 for a set ...

Re: Electronically operated boot

I think the manual tailgate on the Karoq is also quite a nice design. With some cars, it can be hard to find/grab the cavity in the tailgate where you have to put your fingers. But the Karoq has a nice kind of “dongle” which is very easy to see and grab hold of.

I ended up having to get a big chunky leathe...

Converting Karoq SE-L with space saver spare wheel to full-size spare wheel

I've just finished converting the boot space of my UK-spec 2-wheel drive Karoq SE-L trim from a space saver spare wheel to a full-size share wheel. I thought I'd put some photos here, in case anybody else is thinking of doing something similar. When I bought our Karoq SE-L earlier this year, I wante...
