Overview

Skoda Karoq will debut at Frankfurt

Skoda will reveal their new compact SUV at the Frankfurt Motor Show next week. The five-seat Karoq will be smaller than the Kodiaq and will replace the Yeti in the range.

New technologies include a digital information display and a new 1.5 TSI petrol engine. In line with greater demand for higher specified models, an entry-level Active version of the Karoq will not be offered, and instead the range will start with the usually mid-spec Ambition model. Luxury Sportline and  Laurin & Klement derivatives will be rolled out in 2019.

Further details on Irish specification and pricing will be confirmed shortly before it arrives in showroom in December, and we'll have a sneak preview for you in the meantime from the international launch next month.
