Like Scout and Edition, Sportline is only available with the most powerful engines and four-wheel drive is mandatory, which makes it pricey. On top of SE L’s kit list, you get 19in wheels, sports front and rear bumpers, sports seats, metallic paint, an electric tailgate and a panoramic roof. It’s too expensive to recommend unless you’re hopelessly in love with the looks.

We feel that the 1.5-litre petrol is such a great fit for the Karoq that there’s no real need to pay the extra for this, the most-powerful petrol engine in the range. Yes, it’s quicker but also uses more fuel, so we’d stick to the smaller petrol engine.
