New Skoda Karoq 1.0 Petrol 2019 Review




For starters it has the engine that in most other VW Group products is the best all-round choice. Take the recently updated Volkswagen Golf for example - while the 1.5 is the more refined and punchy engine, the smaller 1.0 offers similar performance and is cheaper to run. Though down one cylinder compared to the new 1.5 TSI, the three-pot 1.0-litre makes a fine fist of things. Its modest 113bhp is helped along by a little turbocharger, with the bulk of the small engine鈥檚 punch kicking in low down the rev range to ease progress. Keep the engine within the 2,000 to 3,500rpm band and Karoq performs reasonably enough with 0-60mph taking just over 10 seconds. Add in a claimed 52.3mpg and CO2 emissions of 121g/km and the 1.0 TSI should be cheap to run. Mid-spec SE L is the trim to go for too. Even the basic Karoq SE come with 17-inch alloys, privacy glass, dual-zone climate control, and safety kit comprising front assist, pedestrian monitor and a driver fatigue sensor.





But the step-up to SE L for 拢2,290 is worth it as 18-inch alloys, an eight-inch touchscreen with sat-nav, MirrorLink, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, keyless entry, full LED headlights, Alcantara upholstery and heated seats are thrown in. The wealth of extra kit just adds an additional layer of style and convenience to the cabin moving it above and beyond its main rival the SEAT Ateca. While the Spanish SUV has quite a blandly styled dashboard made from scratchy plastics, the Karoq gets a slightly more stylized look and there are acres of soft, squidgy plastics across the top of the dash and doors. Overall, it鈥檚 a much more pleasant place to sit. SE L models also get Varioflex seating. But while the trim level gets our thumbs up, to our surprise it鈥檚 the more expensive 1.5 TSI we鈥檇 go for. Under hard acceleration the small little 1.0 engine can get quite vocal and transmits a few too many vibrations through the pedals. It feels just a little at odds with the Karoq鈥檚 surprisingly grown up and polished character. The 1.5鈥檚 35bhp advantage and wider power band gives punchier acceleration (0-60mph is cut from 10.3 to 8.1 seconds) and is quieter on the move. While the Karoq shares its platform and a large number of components with the SEAT Ateca (squint and it even looks like the SEAT), it drives noticeably differently. The Karoq鈥檚 steering feels slightly less involving and it has a far softer suspension set-up than the Ateca, which gives a much more comfortable ride especially around town and at motorway cruising speeds. It鈥檚 only some wind whistle around the overly large door mirrors that disrupts what is a hugely refined car.
