- The Skoda Karoq takes the place of the old Yeti in the Czech brand's SUV range. It might have lost some of the old car's charm, but does it now have the ability to compete against rivals like the Peugeot 3008 and SEAT Ateca? Find out in my in-depth review.

We purchased the KAROQ 1.5L T/P 110TSI with DSG at the end of the 2020 financial year. BEST DECISION WE'VE EVER MADE. We're getting on a bit and decided that we needed our 'forever' car and decided to push the boat out and get all the bells and whistles. Another great decision. Took it on s shortish road trip and removed the centre back seat and fitted a 26l car cooler perfectly between rear seats. Plugged into 12v outlet and kept all out supplies at 2 degrees in 35 degree days which went up to 50 degrees when not parked in the shade. The tinting works to keep the car cool but the front windscreen still adds to the temperature when parked with no shade. We decided not to get the Sport Line but did get the 19" wheels. Most underrated car on the market. We made a check list of 8 different vehicles to meet our needs (primary requirement was electric front seats with 2 or 3 driver positioning) and this has it, PLUS, PLUS, PLUS even down to a small plastic clip on the drivers side front windscreen that holds your parking ticket instead of just throwing it onto the dash!!!! It's the small things that count. The removable seats, auto park, lane assist etc. are fabulous. We set our front sensing at MAX which maintains about 20m of clear road allowing for those drivers who insist in ducking in between you and the vehicle in front without cause high blood pressure. As I say it's a brilliant and most underrated car.
Practicality from Skoda is something that should be taught to automobile designers in the academies
dipin divakaran Seats like that are common in VW group. Our family touran has them too, and it’s 10 years old

I'll wear Crocs and but this car
Designer of Skoda Karoq and other cars has been recently bought by BMW, now he designes BMW 7 :))
I just love Skoda's simply clever designs.
This video led to me buying this car. Many thanks
Emamoke Ubogu I’m thinking of buying this car. R u satisfied with the car? I have to babies is there enough space behind ?
@@vairon13 more than enough
@@vairon13 also bought it and in general im quite happy. Of you consider the 1.5 tsi, check honestjohn review. Lots of DADAs with problem. I experience these issues as well, and can adapt the driving to mitigate it. In doing so, sometimes it becomes a little jerky.
would you recommend this car to someone?? My father wants to buy new 2.0tdi 4x4
@@eurocrem7030 I own the Petrol 1.5 Tsi 4x4 vdrsion- it is a quite good car - very comfy, secure... not a sport car but doing quite a good job - so I can recommend
I looove Mat! I wish he could do reviews in the 30+ minute range. He is such a pleasure to watch.
love the videos from Carwow. Quick, simple and highlights all the important points. No lengthy introduction... JUST SHOW ME THE CAR!!
Matt without doubt your video on the Karoq made it the obvious choice to buy it. More than delighted with my selection.
Almost went for the Kamiq, but my heart belongs to the Karoq.
Hopefully being delivered to me week Tuesday.
You've made the channel 5 stars quality.
Respectfully disagree on the engine size. I've have had 4 full grown men in the car with bags and it more than moves with the 1.0 TSI 115ps. I think that the reviewer having driven high end large engine cars with plenty of horse power has missed the mark on the engine comments.
yep, 80kw is definitely not too bad
You're right, it's the torque that matters here
1l engine dosent belong in a car that big it will strain it, depending on the distances you drive and the loads you carry
@@hawkeyebri0077 power to weight ratio is proportional including fully loaded it is with the parameters. Do you homework before you make a comment. The engine is appropriate full stop!
Well when engine brakes down on you I'll be one laughing 😂
Been waiting for this one! Great review and now I really want one!
Skoda Super Hatchback review? Please make it happen. Excellent review as always Carwow deserves way more views.
Love it. Very practical and a very minimalistic approach. Great review!
I think vw should being the brand to the NA but due to competition its gonna be hard to survive there. Also I'm watching the review after 3 years cz i just realised Matt did a review on this car.
Halp i sill all that come party leader's following chiku car Give i
Test drove this the other day with the wife, we both love it & it's great to drive, took it everywhere & handled brilliantly even in pouring rain
i love the rainbow in the background too Mat! Karoq is pretty good too, lol
Currently work at Skoda/Seat dealership, these are a pleasure to drive. Is all I can say really.
How do you think it compares to the Ateca? Which one would you have or do you think it’s purely on which design one prefers?
I test drove one of these whist my car was getting worked on at the mechanic, and I haven't been able to forget it since. Drives like a dream!
I do like the low tech ability to take a seat out and move the two inwards. I had that on a hyundai Trajet nearly 20 years ago and it really works for big blokes in the back .... magic.
I love this car so much. Perfect to drive and very comfortable. So much space and a wonderful driving experience.
Hi. How's the cabin noise on the highway?
@@serkanbiccok sessiz. Peugeot 3008 im vardi, ona kiyasen daha sessiz mesela.
I've got a 1.6 diesel in black totally love the car
Skoda are the future
Bought this car and got it week ago. Man its so good no regrets looking the price with tons of extras. No other smaller suv that can beat with 1.5 TSI pertol power and space it has inside.
Another entertaining and informative video from Mat. Nice ref to savings to be had through CARWOW. Clear description of the Skoda Karoq strengths and weaknesses. Cheers Mat!
Had my karoq 1.5tsi over a year no problems at all brilliant car brilliant quality.
We see that song on the radio. Rip Chester
Made me so sad :(
Nice review and I just love how you love your dog, bravoo, you sir are a nice human!! I congradulate you!
This is absolutely brilliant, it's filled with all sorts of nice features, i mean, a torch, umbrella, parking ticket holder, configurable seats and more!
amazing analogy with swift
Superb review as always Matt. Love you work! Even CarBuyer has to up its game. And the Karoq is quite nice too! Skoda isn’t here in Sri Lanka. But it’d do really well over here if it does come.
If CarBuyer wants to up their game they should get rid of James and hire those women like Fischer and Shields again.
Pun intended? xd
Simply clever! Very good video Mat!
Hello Matt! great review. There's no practacility video though. When is it gonna be uploaded?
7:14 "accidentally driving over some other parents' child 'cause that would be a bit embarrassing, wouldn't it? " 😂😂😂
the rainbow at the beginning of the video
I dont know what I love the most about this video, Mat, the doggo or the car
This review really change my mind about the Karoq, it actually is a pretty cool car with some great & well thought features
Thank you for making this review, this video has led me to buy the car
Skoda's really making amazing machines !
Leonel Gouveia para mim, neste momento, tem os carros mais interessantes do grupo vw, em termos de relação preço qualidade.
jigrodrigues se você morar em portugal sim mas na belgica ou no reino unido o valor do skoda e muito mais barato que os competitores da VW ! Pelo menos e o que eu conclui no anno passado. Se calhar os modelos novos estao a tentar se impor numa classe mais alta de viaturas :)
Leonel Gouveia I agree, Skoda make some amazing cars, especially the , Karoq, Kodiaq, Octavia, Fabia, Superb. But one of my favorite Skoda is the Octavia. Second being the Superb and Fabia. Third being Kodiaq and this Karoq. Citigo is okay, but not my favorite, similar manner to the Up! and Mii counterparts. In my opinion Volkswagen made a great choice buying Skoda in 1994 and owning Skoda 100% since 2000.
If Volkswagen didn't own Skoda, then i probably wouldn't like their cars. But I'm glad VW decided to buy Skoda.
Actually, Volkswagen makes... This one is same like Tiguan :)
Thorbjørn Madsen skoda are 99% the same as VW. And 98% the same as Audi.
Nicely done Matt, but I would have liked to know more about it's four wheel drive ability especially as the Yeti was good off road
Thanks . Just ordered my new one its ready in april del 2L d .and still got a yeti 2017 2L d great car
If it had an VW badge, i'd totally believe it. This vehicle looks simply blooming lovely!
Can’t wait to get one when I upgrade from my Fabia Monte Carlo. Skoda are the best!
Another great review Mat. I bought my Freelander 2 on the strength of your review and you make the Karoq look very enticing. I look forward to your in depth review on the new Range Rover Evoque, which is on my list. Karoq or new Evoque......dunno. I'll wait for your review.
I like Matt's reviews very thorough with a bit of humour even the dog was a badge snob probably a rover fan
I Really enjoy Mat Watsons delivery on all cars and he really must do his research to give such in depth analysis. I am hooked
Nice review Matt. Quite a lot of yeti fans are disappointed with the styling, but it makes up for it with the more upmarket feel and options. Should be a good buy
faisalleeds ahahaha yeti fans don’t have a say in anything concerning style
Love your over coat, please review that too!!
I think that I've just found my next car! Definitely going to book a test drive as it looks fabulous!
Hey Mat, can you do a comparative review this car with VW Tiguan? We love more comparative videos and drag races. Thanks in advance.
Daniel Sandeep
Tiguan vs karoq vs Ateca
Senad Bayan all from the same family
Yes this please!
The Tiguan wins!
Isn't Tiguan in a bigger category ? The VW T-Roc is perhaps the rival for this?
Plz do include the doggu more often😍😍
Very nice car and really nice review Mat..keep at it!!!
Ordered a 1.5 Edition with extra toys yesterday (14 July 2020). 17 weeks’ delivery, but worth the wait. I’ve had Merc and BMW SUVs in the past and can’t justify spending more to buy and service a ‘prestige” marque. 🚙
How are you liking it?
0:40 I can see an actual rainbow in the background. Cool!
I love this Chaneel. Greetings from Slovenia 🇸🇮
Watson, good reviews. Be more elaborate on the driving dynamics, ride comfort of each cars.
Great video, however Matt left out a crucial point in his demonstration in folding the middle seat forward. What he didn’t show that in order to lift the actual middle seat up towards the centre column, the headrest needs to be removed. If you watch the part where he lifts the centre seat out of the car you’ll notice the headrest is gone, but earlier when he pushed the back of the middle seat down the headrest was firmly in place. The headrest removal for the rear left and right seats aren’t necessary as long as the front seats allows it.
Skoda are on top of their game. Great car, great price!
This is why I Love Skoda ❤️
After this video we went to the skoda dealer and now 6 months later it arrived , we bought a skoda karoq sportline in black with black details en other cool stuf
Just got one year old low mileage and love it
Could review that dog please ?
Am I the only one that fell in love with these rims? Gorgeous
me too🔥🔥
Great video as usual
You should remove the head restraint on the middle seat before folding forward, and there are toggles which pull out behind the seats and attach to the front seat head restrains to prevent the varioflex seats falling back down as you drive and brake.
That car is actually amazing! I love cars that are practical and with small functional details!! Love it! >(
9:18 actually killed me😂😂😂
I do enjoy the carwow reviews even when it's cars I don't give a toss about.like this car.keep doing them Matt.
5:41 very nice choice of music. Meteora and Hybrid Theory are the best.
VW make great all round cars and that is visible on Skoda in the past few years.
This is first car video I have seen where you have suggested “buy it” option.
I had that same flexible seating, multiple storage areas and high driving position in a 2003 renault scenic. Hardly ground breaking. Don't get me wrong I like Skoda, but in two wheel drive spec it's just a Scenic.
The '5 annoying things and 5 cool things' about cars are the best thing about carwow. So unique!
such a pretty car, skoda is amzing last 3 years, last generation superb is just so perfect, skoda is just amazing these days
Yes because it's VW with a different skin and badge.
No it's not,the new octavia looks like shit and this SUV too (I think the new Duster looks better)The only think I agree to you is that the Superb looks really nice indeed.
TechGod I agree new facelift octavia is ugly but only in front other cars are just so beautifuel and good overall, duster looks better? are you on some kind of drugs, this is way better and good looking
agree with you..only good looking skoda is superb... the tesr are sooo boring and ugly car's.. design is like Audi in year 2000 lol..
@@caidee Get out you weirdo. How can anyone like the looks of a Dacia over this?
The rainbow in the backdrop earned you my like at the very start.
Excellent review Mat
Which is the more comfortable ride, the Skoda Koroq or the Seat ATACA? I test drove the ATACA and thought the suspension was too firm? Thanks
Wow this Karoq is very cool
1st of Chile! 🙌♥🙌
Waiting the arrive of Karoq 🙏
they sell Skoda in Chile?
Raven16691, Porsche Holding sells Skoda in Chile, BADLY MANAGED,but yes, they offer :
- Superb
- Octavia (Scout, State, Liftback)
- Kodiaq
- Yeti
- Fabia
- Spaceback (Rapid Liftback not in 2018)
BADLY MANAGED, but in the web site
Skoda Chile dot com you can see the fanatism here 🙌
Saludos desde Santiago de Chile 🙌
William Santana el liftback esta homologado para venderse como 1.4 en chile este 2018:) en skodachile.com ( foro ) esta toda la info
I think the 19inch wheel makes it feel a bit more firm.....the 18 inch would be perfect....the sidewalls may help in absorbing the bumps
That easter egg, though....well done, Mat. Well done.
Waiting for this car! Love from India!🇮🇳❤️
Nah still prefer the Yeti. Rented one twice last year, paid premium to pick the Yeti in particular, but well worth it
Very Comprehensive Review of an understated but seemingly rather useful Compact (?) SUV.
Beautiful rainbow at the beginning of the review
Are you going to review the new DS 7 crossback?
I hope they will!!
That seats are really special
ventiadi It's also a clever design. More cars should have these seats similar to the Skoda
those rear seats are copy/paste from 18 years old xsara picasso
StarWalker86 Just because they're the same or similar rear seats from another car, doesn't mean they copied the seats.
nothing special about those seats
I think he loves Skoda. He always give skoda good reviews.
WOW 😲..! This car is well taught out. I’m gonna buy one. Thanks mate. 👍🏿
Rainbow... 😍😍😍😍
easter egg - karoq-the rock
Hi from Canada. It would be nice to see cars like this here.
the scene with the seats has to be one of the greatest and most ingenious idea i ve ever seen in a car fucking rules skoda
Rainbow behind you
The automatic gear version is even better, switching the gear smoothly, and perfectly timed. On road the car is sooo smooth. Honestly, skoda gives you the most relaxed and luxurious car ride among the companies who sell cars for an average working mate. E g VW, Volvo.
Dada. Tumi kothai aaj kal. Tomar blog kothai
I'd love if you could show in future reviews if you can fit skies or snowboard on the boot.
Nice video..What do you recommend....New Karoq Face Lift 1.5 TSI u Style or Jeep Compas 1.5 MHEV DCT 4X2 130KS + 20KS(15KW)
LIMITED?. Compass is little expensive but it is not important...
So... its 5 Seater Kodiaq.. 😎
Area of Interest But with removable rear seats. You can even make it a 4 seater or remove all rear seats.
But the Kodiaq had a 5 seater as well?
Xplosion51 You obviously don't know physics behind rainbows. And rainbows doesn't always mean homosexuals colors
The kodiaq is a size bigger. Like octavia or superb...
But If you Need an 7seater you have to buy the kodiaq. I’d prefer the karoq because it’s a perfect size.
Buy ugly.
Oh, you can remove the rear seats?! Just like in my 2001 Mègane Scenic! Innovation :D
And Ford c max they stole even the same clips that remove them!
good to see your face every year !
i love this channel, we are considering buying either this car or the Hyundai Tucson. After watching your videos especially this one i really want to buy one
I don't like the way how Matt handles the stuff found in the car. Load covers always fly to the ground and now that leather seat to the concrete.
Um you forgot to wobble the center console?
JJ Center console shaking test was only on the Kia
RT
sunslum Center console shaking only happens on a Kia
Thorbjørn Madsen he was abusing it but it would have been nice if he done the same test to other cars
sunslum Do it yourself then, and i can still you that the center console doesn't shake in a Skoda, VW or any German cars. They're bolted well in. Kia Stinger have a terrible center console.
And the shaking test was NOT a test, it's to show people that the Kia Stinger's center console is awfully bolted in. And Kia Stinger is rubbish
car + rock =karoq ... :D :D Another amazing presentation !!
Those Backseats are really really really impressive. I’m staggered.
