Our quick take

Alternatives to consider:

Skoda Karoq - 4.5 / 5

Family values

Not giving up on clever

Space for all your stuff

Integrated tech that’s easy to use

Skoda Karoq – what spec to choose?

A wide range of engines with some obvious choices

To recap

Although it lacks the character of the Yeti it replaces, the Karoq is built to provide exactly what SUV buyers want. It doesn’t drive as well as a Seat Ateca, but in almost every other way it’s a winner. We love the ‘simply clever’ practicality, the easy-to-use tech interface, and the spacious and well-appointed interior. If you can get over its non-looks, the Koroq is the thinking person’s small SUV.
