2019 Skoda Karoq Reviews

Don't you sometimes sit around wishing for a more considerate, clever car? There are some car companies out there who spend productive days dreaming up clever, considerate ways cars can be more of service than just driving from point A to point B. Skoda is one of those companies. I test drove the Skoda Karoq this week, a five-seater small to mid-size SUV that is only in its second year on sale in Australia. It's bigger than it looks, and competes with everything from a Nissan Qashqai and Honda HR-V to the Mazda CX-5. There is one base, petrol FWD model and then you can add extras from there, which is actually a good way to do things. Here's how it performed over my week of family driving.
