Skoda’s newest addition to its SUV lineup, the new
Karoq will be displayed for the first time in front of the public at the
upcoming Frankfurt Motor Show.
The new Skoda Karoq
slots underneath the Kodiaq, measuring 4,382 mm in length, 1,841 mm in width,
1,605 mm in height and featuring a 2,638 mm wheelbase which guarantees a roomy
interior.
The new Karoq is also the first Skoda to come with a
fully customisable digital instrument panel, much like the ones seen in VWs and
Audis. Skoda will also offer an LTE module and Skoda Connect Services with the
new Karoq.
The engine range will include the 1.0-liter TSI, the
1.5-liter TSI with cylinder deactivation, 1.6-liter TDI and the range-topping
2.0-liter TDI, with outputs ranging from 115 hp to 190 hp. All versions bar the
auto-only 2.0-liter TDI can be fitted with either a manual six-speed or a
seven-speed dual clutch automatic transmission.
A wide range of active safety systems will also
be present as expected and will include among others, Park Assist, Lane Assist,
Traffic Jam Assistant, Blind Spot Detect and Front Assist with innovative
pedestrian protection. The new Skoda Karoq will make its public debut at the
Frankfurt Motor Show on September 14.
