What is the ŠKODA KAROQ?

What does the ŠKODA KAROQ look like?

One of the most popular vehicles in the Czech brand’s line-up boasts sharper and sleeker styling both inside and out. ŠKODA’s signature grille gives it a strong stance and a dynamic attitude that complements its spacious boot with a new extended rear spoiler.

The New 2022 KAROQ also features a few design tweaks like thinner headlights and a larger grille. At the rear, there are updated taillights that feature dynamic indicators, while the boot spoiler has been elongated so it can offer more space – 520 litres as standard and up to 1,630 litres with the seats folded down. The rooftop rails prove incredibly useful as they can serve as a bicycle rack or provide extra luggage space on every road adventure. The KAROQ comes in a range of 9 expressive colours, including exclusive like Phoenix Orange and Velvet Red, each one designed to further boost its presence and complement your personality.

Backed up by a five-star NCAP safety rating, the KAROQ provides you with the assurance that it is one of the safest SUVs on the market.
