@OldKaroq Thank you 😊 Its ‘Graphite Grey’ in Škoda speak, slightly darker than ‘Business Grey’ 👍🏻 Very early days but having done around 70 miles so far I’m very impressed, I need to get some centre caps ordered so I can take the cheese graters off the wheels though, can’t say I’m a fan…

Result! @hazy2

I picked my Karoq up today and the umbrella was in its compartment under the passenger seat, it’s quite a dinky little thing.

Finally picked up the Karoq today despite the weather’s best efforts to thwart me 😆 I didn’t get a photo at the dealership as it was bitter cold to say the least and then by time I got home the car was completely covered road grime and salt so obviously I had to give it a quick wash 🥶😂 Here’s the only photo to date, a less than glamorous shot of it on the drive post-wash in failing light, I’m sure I’ll be spamming this thread with more in the future…

I’ve been consciously looking out for them since reading this post last week and my total to date is…one! So yes they do appear to be thin on the ground. (Around here at least)

Going off at a bit of a tangent, does the Karoq electronic handbrake have a manual override so it can be released if it failed in the on position, similar to the Land Rover Discovery 3, 4 and possibly other models for instance?

First glimpse of my Karoq, hopefully collecting it on Friday all being well.

Love some of the waymarkers you find on footpaths.

We’ve been using an Admiral multi-car policy for the last several years, we’ve not been able to get better quotes from any of the comparison sites or brokers to date, our use also includes business use across all three cars.

Thanks for that, this is the part that bothers me now, hopefully I won’t get stung for any taxes but it should still work out cheaper 🤞🏼

Wondering if anyone has ordered form here, they’re based in Czechia and deliver to the UK according to their website. https://www.skoda-parts.com/online-store.html Any experience good/bad/indifferent? Cheers

I wonder if it’s changed again for recent models? I’ll see what the manual says next week when I finally pick mine up.

As I understand it the ‘Amundsen Plus Package’ at £600 gives you the larger (10.25”) Virtual Cockpit with the ability to have maps displayed and lots more customisation. All new 23MY Karoq models should now come with a smaller (8”) virtual cockpit as standard, this has less functionality and isn’t able to display maps like the 10.25” version. I’ll be picking up my Karoq next week and it will have the smaller 8” virtual cockpit. There isn’t a lot of information around on it at the moment as I found out when I was looking for details about it.

I thought it was 140Nm? I’m sure that’s what I read in the online manual 🤔

Fresh update today; the car is now at the dealers (off-site) compound and I’ll be picking it up next Friday 😁

Proper stealthy, very nice! 😎

This! Without photos it didn’t happen 🫣😆 Also…welcome

Thank you, I’ll get one ordered 👍🏻

Can anyone confirm if this guide pin will fit Karoq wheels please? I know I’ve seen them mentioned on here somewhere before but can’t find the relevant post now despite searching. I haven’t got the car yet so unfortunately I can’t check for myself just now, thanks. Link if anyone is interested: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/334368450159?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=nQbE3RkZRSC&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=8lthBdv8RWy&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

Someone has already mentioned above another option I’d also spec (but forgot in my original response) and that is a proper spare wheel instead of the useless gunk generallly supplied. Oh and a heated front windscreen as well if possible…

I had a similar dilemma when buying our Karoq, initially wanted the SEL but then realised by the time I’d added a few extras I was better off buying the SportLine (which I guess is on par with the MC). I love the panoramic roof, which as a standalone option was something like £1200 😳 As for what extras you add is quite a personal thing, I really wanted a pano roof and the LED pack, which were both expensive extras over the SEL spec, hence opting for the SportLine. At least the MC doesn’t come with big daft 19” alloys like the SportLine does 😆

Welcome! Looking forward to following your progress with this, I’ve always had a soft spot for the Yeti 👍

Always a bonus 😆🤣 Welcome!

One from Powis Castle yesterday.

Very nice 😎 Welcome!
