My new Sportline 1.5 DSG - Bought from DM Keith Leeds, via Carwow. With deposit contribution it was nearly £5k off list price, and sold my 1yr old Karoq SEL to Cazoo for £3.5k more than I paid for it - so my cost to change is somewhere in the region of £350! 

 

Checked the Autotrader value on the new one, that's about £2.5k more than I paid for it. Madness. 

 

Good price

Very tempting - just out of curiosity I checked with We Buy Any Car and their offer was £500 more than what I paid for my Scout 2 years ago!

I'll get you a brand new one for a lot less than that. A lot less

What a brand new Scout for a lot less than £24.500 ?

I let ours go this week (priced 2 weeks ago) - whilst I was happy with the price and got £850 more than I paid 2 years 8 months ago - if I’d have hung on ‘till today, that £850 would have been £1200 - surely this bubble has got to burst soon - who is buying used motors for way more than they cost new?

People who want to buy a car now, and not wait for months for them to be built??

A snap of my Karoq after a wash.

208kW (280hp) and 470Nm (345 lb-ft) + damp dirt roads = lots of fun!

 

Here's a few photos of my grubby Sportline

Hi mate - hope to be out your way in a month or so. Will send you a message when I can lock a date in

 

@skodamota Is that petrol or diesel?

 

And they decided against doing a vRS version... Pfft, wimps.😄

Petrol version mate, to the best of my knowledge we never got the diesel model in the Karoq

The 190ps? I thought they did put that in, not for very long mind you.

 

I would think the 150 TDi should be able to get to that sort of figures too? I could well be wrong on all counts though.😁

Excessive use of "though."

Yes I have a 190ps TDI 4x4 edition.

Lovely engine.

It's the 2.0TSI petrol with 190hp (well, it used to have 190hp!)

 

You can get decent gains from a tune/remap on the 2.0TDI as well

I'm new to Skoda. In the past I've owned Audi, Seat, Hyundai and other makes. So far, I'm very happy with the Karoq.

 

The dealer let me know that there was a facelifted Karoq on the horizon for 2022. I chose to order an existing model on the system rather than wait until next year. The car was ordered at the end of October. I was kept informed of its travel from the factory, to Emden (Germany), and then over to the UK. I collected it on 29th November. 

 

During the decision-making process I've been reading through all the information on this site and found it very useful. I've also watched dozens of Youtube videos on the Karoq. There seems to be quite a bit of variation in what comes supplied with Karoqs, depending on age and trim level.

 

My car is a 71 plate (MY22) Sport Line 1.5 TSI DSG in metallic Race Blue on 19" wheels. The things it came with included:

• Amundsen infotainment screen
• Sport Line flat-bottomed steering wheel
• Panoramic glass sunroof
• Tinted privacy glass on the rear windows
• DSG paddle shifters on the steering wheel
• 2 x USB-C sockets in the front
• Wireless mobile phone charging pad in the front next to the USB-C sockets
• Umbrella in a drawer underneath the front passenger seat
• Ice scraper inside the petrol filler flap
• Cargo nets in the boot
• Luggage dividers / fasteners in the boot
• 2 x shopping bag hooks in the boot
• Skoda cuddly lion on the dashboard  : )  (see photo)

There was no torch in the boot. I'm led to believe the torch was discontinued a while ago.

 

I've attached some photos, taken on the day I collected the car.

 

Looking at the latest information on the 2022 facelifted Karoq it looks like Skoda won't be offering the new model in Race Blue.

 

Cheers

PJ

 

 

 

 

Finally found a decent place to load some pics

Hello, I'm new here and enjoying reading all the insights posted.

 

Shame about the disappearance of the torch. Do you have the cargo nets? I picked up my new Karoq Style 1.4 TSI MY22 last week and no torch or cargo nets. Loving my first ever Skoda so far! So much fun :)

Hi. Yes, my Karoq came with cargo nets. I'm in the UK.
