Latest Karoq Offers

With the production of the ever popular Yeti having ended in April 2017 there is room for a new SUV in the Skoda Range. Welcome to Karoq the brother to Kodiaq, it premiered in Stockholm in May 2017 and made its showroom debut in the UK at the start of January 2018.

We now have available pricing and specification and the Karoq is in our showroom. We’re offering customers a range of trims from SE, at just £20,875, to the top-of-the range Edition at £31,690. Detailed specification can be found further down the page.

Let a member of our sales team, Jamie Wray along with Yorkshire Coast Radio's Paddy show you around the amazing new Karoq.....

Sharing the same striking design language as its stablemate the Kodiaq, the front and rear lights on the brand new compact SUV once again draw their inspiration from Bohemian crystal glass art. The LED headlights and eight lighting strips give the Karoq a unique appearance. At the back, the taillights, also LED, form the trademark ‘C’ shape found on all our vehicles.

On the inside, the design accents echo those found in the Kodiaq, but with further enhancements including a digital dash display – a first for ŠKODA. The freely programmable digital instrument panel is offered for the first time in a ŠKODA. In the Karoq, the cockpit displays can be pre-set to the driver’s chosen configuration.

Inside the Karoq, LED ambient lighting in the decor strips of the doors and the dashboard can be set in 10 colours.
