 If I need Sport mode I use the gear lever.

 

Another test to do.

 

Knocking the gear lever to sport usually only puts gearbox in Sport.  You don't usually get sport steering or throttle response like you do using driver select.

 

On some models the shift change point is different depending whether you are in Sport Driving Mode or just have the gearbox in sport.

VAG don't make it easy do they, I will experiment over the week and see what I get. I'm fairly sure that when knocked into Sport the engine  'Sound' is, the same as Driver Select, and it blips the throttle when changing down. Have I introduced another variable feature by mentioning Sound? I have a 2023 build Sportline, before I bought it I test drove a 24 plate demonstrator. In the Menu system the salesman was able to configure the Sound feature I think for every Driver Selectable mode, as I was driving I was paying more attention to the road than the Infotainment screen!. My 2023 Karoq only allows the Sound to be enable/disabled in the Individual Mode configuration.

The soundaktor (Artificial Engine Sound Generator) is only fitted on the 2.0TSi.  I'm not aware of being able to enable it for every drive mode on the car but it's easily done with VCDS or OBDEleven type devices as well as setting the volume level so I'm sure the dealer can do that.

 

But as software changes depending on Model/Year/Drivetrain and even update version you may indeed have that option.

 

If putting the gearbox in Sport puts the car into full Sport Drive mode that's a change from my Octavia. I've not actually tried it in the Karoq.

In the test drive of the 24 plate Karoq, I'm pretty sure that the display the Salesman  selected from the Menu for SoundAktor had a volume slider, whereas the menu on my 73 plate (2023) is for Modes which has a simple on/off tick box on individual. I have a licensed version of VCDS so I will have to investigate further. Currently I have individual set to Normal, Sound off, and Sports steering. For the other modes the display shows the settings but doesnt allow changes. Interestingly the digital manual that comes up for my Karoq  lists Comfort and Offroad, I don't have the offroad pack or the Dynamic Chassis option so I assume these two relate to those options.

It's possible those differences are on MY24, we know some owners are reporting changes such as the loss of gear selection indication in D and E on MY24

 

Comfort does require DCC and OffRoad mode requires the optional pack.
