The model

Read full review

The Skoda Karoq is a top-drawer family SUV with clever seating options, a big boot and plenty of space inside for passengers. It’s also a pleasure to drive, thanks to its comfortable ride (as long as you avoid the 19in alloy wheels) and great visibility – and it has a well made interior. If you’re after something sportier then have a look at the Seat Ateca, but the Karoq is the best all-round family SUV in its price bracket.

The trim

See full equipment

SE Drive adds extras including a rear-view camera, front and rear parking sensors, sat-nav, and LED interior lighting. It's our favourite trim level.

The engine

See full engine specs

This 2.0-litre diesel combines strong performance with decent fuel economy, especially if you avoid four-wheel drive. Just remember that it’s a fair bit more expensive than our favourite 1.5-litre petrol engine, so you’ll have to do plenty of miles to recoup the cost. Available as a manual or automatic.
