- Evolved ŠKODA #design language delivers a more striking look
- Slimmer headlights with full-LED Matrix technology for the first time
- Improved aerodynamics and lower CO2 emissions
- Sustainable materials and more comfort features inside
- Efficient engines from the EVO generation
- State-of-the-art assistance systems and infotainment
Mladá Boleslav, 30 November 2021 – Four years after its launch, the ŠKODA #karoq gets an update: the Czech carmaker has refreshed its second SUV model range to ensure its continued success. In addition to an even more refined #design language, the update brings sustainable materials, new technology and more efficient engines from the current EVO generation to the compact SUV. Surpassed only by the OCTAVIA, the KODIAQ’s smaller brother was the second most delivered ŠKODA model worldwide in 2020, as well as in the first six months of 2021.
Thomas Schäfer, ŠKODA #auto CEO, said: “With over half a million units sold, the #karoq is key to our brand’s success. To ensure that this will remain the case, we have developed it further: now sporting a fresher #design and optimised aerodynamics along with state-of-the-art assistance systems and infotainment features. I am confident that this overall package will enable us to continue the KAROQ’s success story.”
A fresh #design, improved aerodynamics and sustainable materials in the interior
ŠKODA #auto has continued to develop its #design language for the revised #karoq, making the SUV look even more striking. The wider, now hexagonal ŠKODA grille, slimmer headlights as well as tail lights, and aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels with black plastic Aero trim create fresh visual highlights. The new wheels, rear window finlets and a new rear spoiler all improve the car’s aerodynamics while lowering its CO2 emissions. The interior features new upholstery which, as an option, can be made from sustainable materials. New technology – such as full-LED Matrix headlights and an expanded range of assistance systems – also debuts in the range. Five efficient engines from Volkswagen Group’s EVO generation round off the KAROQ’s update. Two diesels and three petrol engines deliver power outputs ranging from 81 kW (110 PS) to 140 kW (190 PS). The 2.0 TSI producing 140 kW is reserved for the #karoq SPORTLINE and exclusively with all‑wheel drive. The 2.0 TDI with an output of 110 kW is available with front- or all-wheel drive.
Launched in 2017, the #karoq was the Czech car manufacturer’s second SUV. Offering generous amounts of space, a high level of practicality and excellent value for money, it delivers on the brand’s promise. The #karoq is produced in the Czech Republic, Slovakia, Russia and China, and available in 60 countries.
- Exterior: striking front profile and redesigned lights
- Wider, hexagonal ŠKODA grille and new body-coloured rear spoiler
- Slimmer headlights now also available with optional full-LED Matrix technology
- Aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels with a diameter of 17 to 19 inches
Mladá Boleslav, 30 November 2021 – More striking, more elongated and more aerodynamic: the updated #karoq is characterised by the refined ŠKODA SUV #design language. As with other models by the Czech brand, it now sports a wider, hexagonal ŠKODA grille, which – together with the new front apron – makes the #karoq look more rugged. The headlights are slimmer, as are the tail lights, and feature a four-light cluster #design, now also available with full-LED Matrix technology. A longer rear spoiler, a front apron with air curtains, aerodynamically optimised fuel tank undertrays and new alloy wheels with a diameter of 17, 18 or 19 inches help to reduce the car’s drag by more than 9% to a coefficient (cd) of 0.30. This makes the #karoq one of the most aerodynamic cars in its segment.
Oliver Stefani, Head of ŠKODA #design, said: “The revised #karoq now comes across as much more self-assured. The wider, hexagonal ŠKODA grille and the new bumper make the front more stunning. In addition, the slimmer, newly arranged #led headlights with a four-light cluster #design lend the car a more dynamic look. The redesigned tail lights emphasise this appearance, while the new rear spoiler makes the #karoq look longer.”
The restyled and sculptured bumper is body-coloured while the wide lower air inlet comes in a crystalline mesh-effect #design. The L-shaped finishing touches on the sides accentuate the air curtains while a rugged, black-grained spoiler completes the front section. The air curtains direct the air through the sides of the front bumper as well as through the wheels, reducing air vortices and improving airflow. To reduce underbody drag, the all-wheel-drive #karoq now comes with aerodynamically optimised fuel tank undertrays, which also cover the rear axle.
Newly arranged, slimmer headlights with full-LED Matrix technology as an option
The significantly slimmer headlights extend to the ŠKODA grille. Redesigned daytime running lights, which are now split in two, further accentuate the car’s dynamic look. For the optional top‑end headlights, ŠKODA is offering full-LED Matrix technology for the #karoq for the first time. Here, two #led modules are arranged one above the other. They provide low beam and high beam, and create a distinct four-light cluster, particularly in driving mode in the dark. Even the entry-level #karoq comes with #led modules in the upper headlight as standard, with a separate fog light in the lower housing.
