Ordered my new karoq on June 29th and was told there would be 20/25 weeks wait. To date l haven’t even been able to get a build date so l feel very much in limbo. I shall start chasing soon!! I went for the 1.5 sel 150 Tsi with the DSg box.l’m really looking forward to it.

Ordered mine at the end of June too: it’s a 1.5 SE L (not DSG). Found out yesterday that it is scheduled to be built in week 40 (end of September). Hope that helps.

I chased my dealer today, and would you believe he told me the build date for my car is week 36 (w/c 3rd Sept). They expect delivery end of Sept., so l’m now counting the days until my brilliant silver Karoq arrives.

I have mine 2 months now. Waiting was rotten, got there in 10 weeks. It's my first Skoda and I'm absolutely delighted with it.

We had to wait March to July, but was well worth the wait, and the 1.5 DSG combo is excellent. Recently handled a round trip to Scotland (900 odd miles), fully loaded and with 3 bikes on the towbar without fault and in great comfort... Been exploring the different driving modes and when I'm on some nice twisty A / B roads using Sport Gearbox and Steering in 'Individual' mode I've been pretty impressed with the performance and handling

Is it usually four weeks after receiving build date (week number) to actual delivery?

Four weeks is typical from build to delivery but it can vary depending on what else is waiting to be shipped to the UK and how busy the port(s) and ship(s) are.

However long you wait it will feel longer...

I agree, four weeks is fairly typical in my experience, but as Milford says it will seem along time, however short it is. I hope you find it all worthwhile.
