Skoda Karoq

Hello everyone,

Any opinions on this car? I was interested in a octavia but looking at the karoq it seems to tick all the right boxes.

It comes at a decent price for what it's offering. The upper trim level Style has a lot of features included (led headlights, Acc), and the 1.5L Tsi with ACT sounds like a good deal on paper.

One wierd thing I noticed, when I did a car configuration, you can get the heated windshield only on diesel versions and not petrol. This made me wonder if being a new entry will bring its share of problems later on...even though it's basically a tweaked Tiguan.

Thank you!

Hi quinton77, there's a wealth of information - the good, the bad and the ugly throughout this forum and others. Despite my own issues, which are easily dealt with by turning off auto-hold the car's positive points far outweigh the bad (in my case at least). Regarding trim levels I have an SE L, which ticks most of the boxes.

I'm on my second Karoq (1.5DSG Edition) previous Karoq 1.5DSG SE L> Kodiaq 1.4 DSG SE L> Yeti>Yeti>Yeti> Fabia estate.

Note that if you go for a NEW Edition, you can only get it with 4WD (2WDEdition, no longer available)

Don't touch derv. Residuals will continue to drop faster than petrol and 1.5 engine 2WD does about 33/44 mpg and 4WD about 30/40 MPG. So bearing in mind the extortionate cost of derv, you hardly any better off. Do the sums if considering derv!

Reliability Survey, finishing an impressive fifth (out of 31 manufacturers) in the overall league table. Even more encouragingly, the Karoq itself was one of the most dependable family SUVs in the survey, with very few faults reported.

Is a used Skoda Karoq estate reliable? Our latest reliability data shows the Karoq in a good light, as it received a 96.5% reliability rating in petrol form, and a 94.3% rating in diesel form. Skoda, as a brand, also did well, ranking 12th out of 30 manufacturers.

I found that the more 'goodies' you have on a Skoda, ( Fabia estate, 3 Yetis, Kodiaq, 3 Karoqs) the more likely you are to have little niggly problems.
So saying, in all the Skodas (above) that I have owned, I have never had a serious problem.
The 'lower' the spec, the better they are, in avoiding, predominantly electrically operated items, (Tailgate, electric seat, rear wiper, SOS button connection etc)
