Skoda Karoq Forums

Hi

Does anyone have anymore information about what the planned replacement for the 4x4 range is going to be?

Im looking at purchasing one in the near future as my Superb has come to the end of its lease

I've heard from a dealer that the 1.5 Tsi 4x4 DSG is about to end production? Anyone else heard this?

Also with the 4x4 range, is it permanently in 4WD or can you manually force it into 2WD?
Thanks in advance

The Skoda configurator is still showing the 1.5TSi with 4x4, not that the configurator is always up to date. If you really want the 4x4 I'd suggest you call Skoda UK and ask them.

The way the Haldex 4x4 system works is that it is in 2wd unless slippage is detected, when it switches to 4x4 mode. This is slightly counter-intuitive to the driver as it means that when you start to lose traction you need to keep the power on (or even increase it) or the wheel will gain grip and the Haldex system will revert immediately to 2wd. I don't believe you can manually disengage the Haldex system to force the car to stay in 2wd but I can't think of any good reason for doing so either...

Hope that helps,


Ian.

Thanks Ian thats helpful

Cheers

I have the 2L diesel 4x4 manual. There is a button to choose between normal,sport economy and snow ,which is permanent 4wd .The economy setting is pretty much useless

Rumour confirmed today by Meadens,
See below.
"Rumour confirmed I’m afraid. No sooner was it here, they are stopping production. The last update said ordering will be closed in “less than 5 weeks”. So basically they have X amount of build slots left, and when they are gone, they are gone. We get a new update Monday, which will either be the same, or confirm it is closed. I have no idea if it will be back or not. It has been popular, so hopefully. Although pressure to reduce co2 emissions may take over. We’ll see!"

Sorry, but I've nobbled the Edition! Like hens teeth now. I think Meadens will deliver. If you go for it. Speak to Tom Sexton the dealer principal and mention my name.
cheers.
