#SKODA 2018 Karoq @ Stockholm footage

The Skoda Karoq is a completely new compact SUV from the long-standing Czech brand. The emotive and dynamic design with numerous crystalline elements characterises Skoda's new SUV design language. As a true Skoda, the Skoda Karoq offers exceptional space, new driver-assistance systems, full?LED headlights and - for the first time in a Skoda - a digital instrument panel. Five engine variants are available from 85 kW (115 PS) to 140 kW (190 PS), of which four are new. Typical of Skoda are smart ideas for the brand's new compact SUV which include features such as the rear-seat VarioFlex system and the virtual pedal for the hands-free opening of the boot. Longer items can be comfortably transported in the interior of the compact SUV - thanks to the folding front passenger seat.

The compact SUV measures 4,382 mm in length, is 1,841 mm wide, and 1,605 mm high. The increase in size benefits the passengers. The kneeroom is 69 mm. The long wheelbase of 2,638 mm (all-wheel version: 2,630 mm) gives the Skoda Karoq a comfortable stance on the road and provides an indication of the generously proportioned interior.
The Skoda brand stands for an exceptional package. This also applies to the new Karoq. The luggage compartment has a capacity of 521 l with the rear seats in place. With the rear seats folded down, the volume increases to 1,630 l. The VarioFlex system consists of three separate seats, which can be individually adjusted and also be completely removed - and the Karoq is then converted into a van-like SUV with a maximum load capacity of 1,810 litres.
Segment leader: connectivity solutions
The Skoda Karoq is at the top of its segment with innovative connectivity solutions.

The top systems Columbus and Amundsen have a Wi-Fi hotspot. An optional LTE module is available for the Columbus system. The Internet connection is based on today's fastest mobile radio standard, with which passengers can surf and access email freely with their phones and tablets.
The new Skoda Connect mobile online services are divided into two categories: Infotainment online services are used for information and navigation; the CareConnect services for assistance in case of breakdowns and emergencies. The Emergency Call button, which will be part of the standard equipment in Europe from 2018, is now available as an optional CareConnect service. Additional online services can be accessed via the Skoda Connect app. These can be used to remotely check details, configure and find the parking place of your car using a smartphone.
The intelligent capability of pairing a car with a smartphone has reached a new level in the Skoda Karoq.
