    The Skoda Karoq is a five-seat SUV that sits below the Kodiaq in Skoda’s model line-up and effectively replaces the popular Skoda Yeti. It has no shortage of rivals, but its combination of a neat and practical design, fun handling and excellent safety stand it in good stead. It’s also well equipped from the off and fitted with an almost endless list of features in top-spec Edition trim.

    Niki, it's a delight to see you on your second video. Hope we get the chance to see you on even more videos. Btw, the Yeti is not dead as you should know that the Karoq is not meant to be the Yeti's successor. Skoda is planing on coming up with a new Yeti which will be as quirky as the old one.

    • @tonysampson8091
      @tonysampson8091 6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      Are you sure? I haven't seen that reported anywhere; all the motoring press seems to be referring to this as the Yeti replacement. I love our Yeti so hope it's true as this does seem a bit boring.

    • @menifo4334
      @menifo4334 6 ปีที่แล้ว

      Tony Sampson According to an article I read that was the info that was officially released by Skoda. That's the reason this car was given a different name. Time will show.

  • @Eddiestab

      88Sauce Longcross Film Studios. The Studios, once an important M.O.D site with considerable history, have over 200 acres of backlot. There is a 2¼ mile Test Track constantly in use for filming that was once used to test 80 ton army tanks and now is used by prestigious motor cars together with motoring events.

    Why there is no videos including the interactive cockpit. Thats a shame, because i think many people will buy this feature, The standart speedometer looks just terrible, same as the kodiaq. Why they make it looks so lame i don't know, but car reviewers please do review with car that includes feature that most people was interested in this car in first place. I mean it's first skoda model with it. It's looks like Skoda announced about it, but now are regreting it, because voilkswagen tiguan looks crappier compare with koraq. I don't know but i would love to see that. Please reviewers!! What are you thinking about.

    The first bid for someone who is going to evaluate a car is to know the product! Here are several things that go against what many motorists boast about! And most people agree that a liter in a Karoq is a wasteful purchase! And forget a very important point, such as that the entire rear seat row can be removed was not mentioned in one word! BAD revue !!
