Skoda Karoq Video Reviews

Skoda's 2020 model year update for its small mid-size SUV brings with it an all-new sporty variant. Should you consider it over its many rivals?

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.

I don't know if you believe in yetis, but sighting one of those supposedly mythical furry creatures is almost as rare as seeing the precursor SUV to this all-new model, the Skoda Karoq.
