2024 Skoda Karoq pricing and features

Joining the remainder of Skoda's range, the popular Karoq medium SUV picks up lane-keep assist, blind-spot monitoring and rear cross-traffic alert.

Reflecting the added technology, the Karoq's price has climbed by $2500 (since its August 2022 release, or $1500 since its last price bump) and now wears a $45,490 national drive-away price, while the all-wheel drive SportLine starts at $52,490.

As before, Skoda offers various option packs, with the Style's Tech pack and SportLine's Premium Pack both adding $5700 to the price – a $200 reduction. Buyers can also choose a Leather package on its own for $4700.

There are no changes to the Karoq's powertrains, 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 SportLine variants.

UPDATE, August 2022: Karoq review

The refreshed 2023 Skoda Karoq is now on sale in Australia, and we've driven it. Get our full review and video at the link below.

The story to here

The updated 2022 Skoda Karoq is set to go on sale in Australia priced from $42,990, with deliveries due to commence in the last week of July.

The upgraded medium SUV now offers an additional $4000 worth of standard equipment, including fresh styling, advanced technologies and smart convenience features.

Skoda has redesigned the Karoq’s front end for MY22, making subtle changes to the LED headlights, grille, and bumper, while the rear gains slimmer tail-lights and a spoiler.

Along with revised alloy wheel designs and a new undertray, the Karoq has benefitted from a nine per cent improvement to its aerodynamics, reducing its drag coefficient to 0.30 – or roughly the same as a Ferrari LaFerrari.

Skoda's national sales and planning manager, Kieran Merrigan, said the Karoq continues to offer customers “a best-of-all-worlds approach to medium SUV buying”.

“With design highlights like VarioFlex in the Karoq Style, Skoda can offer the practical smarts of a larger vehicle in a size that offers greater urban agility and lower weight for enhanced efficiency.

“Or, for those wanting the most emotional and engaging driving experience, no European medium SUV can touch the Karoq Sportline 4x4 for sporty fun and technology for under $50,000 drive-away.”

Engine, drivetrain and fuel economy

The 2022 Skoda Karoq will continue to be offered with a choice of two engines.

Buyers can opt for either the 1.4-litre turbo-petrol four-cylinder engine, producing 110kW and 250Nm, coupled with an eight-speed automatic in the Style 110TSI, or a 2.0-litre turbo-petrol four, which sends 140kW and 320Nm to all four wheels through a seven-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission – propelling it from 0-100km/h in 7.3 seconds in the Sportline 140TSI variant.

Both Karoqs have a rated combined-cycle fuel efficiency of less than 7L/100km – 6.6L/100km in the Style and 6.9L/100km in the Sportline.

Safety

On the safety front, the updated Skoda gets travel assist, which incorporates up to eight features, including semi-autonomous radar cruise control with lane-keep assist and traffic sign recognition.

Also available is park assist, blind-spot monitoring, rear cross-traffic alert, and 360-degree parking cameras.

Side assist however has been deleted for MY22 due to semiconductor-related issues, set to return later this year for MY23.

Warranty and servicing

All new Skodas come with a five year/unlimited kilometre warranty.

Servicing options include the ‘prepaid’ service packs or ‘pay as you go’ subscription plans.

The transferable seven-year service package costs $2400, which includes the first three services for free, plus roadside assistance for the entire seven-year duration.

Existing customers can also purchase a ‘used car’ package, or ‘top up’ an existing three or five-year service plan to the full seven years.

Karoq customers can alternatively select a deal to match their mileage needs too. This includes ‘Value’, ‘Essential’ and ‘Complete’ plans – with roadside assistance and a service loan car. An owner travelling 15,000km per year will pay from $39.50 per month.
