FWIW, In 8th June Auto Express 3 car road test, a new model 1.5TSI SEL Karoq came out tops versus a revised & improved 1.2 GrandLand & 1.3 Quashquai - for driving enjoyment & comfort (18" wheels), space & quietness + predictably the fastest.

 

More relevant to this thread, with a bigger engine, the official 42.8mpg wasn't as good as the 44.8 & 44.1mpg of the others, but they said that in the testing the Skoda readily bettered the official figure, but the Vauxhall regularly did worse.

 

The Karoq at 58.2% seems to hold it's value better after 3 years, Nissan 50% & Vauxhall 42% and surprisingly they found it was also the cheapest to insure.

 

Compared to the others the Karoq is only superficially updated, but maybe the early 1.5 problems are overcome.

If comparing a 1.5TSI vs a 1.6 TDI Karoq then there are no new 1.6 TDI's so it is used cars you are comparing and not the latest vehicles.

 

 

None UK trim names, but latest models.
