The refreshed Skoda Karoq is on sale now, headlined by new Select and Sportline 4×2 variants
Škoda has refreshed its Karoq lineup for Australia, introducing two new variants.
The updated MY24 range includes the new entry-level Karoq Select from $39,990 RRP ($40,990 drive-away), and a new 4×2 version of the Karoq Sportline to replace the Style, priced from $45,990 RRP ($46,990 drive-away).
This pricing marks a welcome cut to the price of entry, with the outgoing MY23 range having been priced from $42,490 drive-away. The flagship end has increased in price, however, with the Sportline 4×4 now $4000 dearer than last year.
The Karoq’s powertrains are unchanged, meaning the 110kW/250Nm front driver continues as the entry-level, with a 140kW/320Nm 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder paired with all-wheel drive on the Sportline 4×4.
An eight-speed automatic is featured with 4×2 models, while the Sportline 4×4 gets a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch auto.
