Hi,
I have had three X Trails in the past, as I need a Soft Roader, but I don't like the current version, so am trying the Karoq this time. I am a bit Old Fashioned, and find all the bells and whistles a bit daunting, but my 18 year old Grandaughter has been training me ! So far, the handling has impressed me the most, and the automatic Off Road function works fine. There is plenty of room for Dogs in the back, and fuel consumption well into the high 40's. The model I have is the Edition TDI SCR 4x4, and will probably be the last diesel car I have before we all go electric.

Hi oldie rigger
Rusty hubs ,not enough paint on them.
Mine had the same problem it always caught my eye .
The Dealer and Skoda don't consider it a problem.
So I took them off , wire brushed and emery cloth to clean them up , then used aluminum paint , its a bit heat resistant and quick drying , job done.
Happy motoring

I had rusty hubs on my launch version Discovery in 1989. LR got the dealer to repaint them all AND ALL the metalwork underneath. That is service. Also it was faultless over my three years of ownership. Sadly LR reliability and customer service is rubbish.
All the manufacturers seem to be downgrading customer care these days!
