Škoda has revealed pricing and specification details for its updated Karoq SUV.

The updated Karoq SUV starts from £25,950

The revised line-up will be priced from £25,950 when order books open on 17 February, introducing fresh design, sustainable materials and more efficient engines.

Design changes, previewed late last year, introduce a wider grille, slimmer headlights and aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels with black Aero trims. The new wheels, rear window finlets and a new rear spoiler all improve the car’s aerodynamics while lowering its CO2 emissions. New technologies – such as full-LED Matrix headlights and an expanded range of assistance systems – are also available to order for the first time.

Trim levels will cover the brand’s familiar SE Drive, SE L and SportLine designations.

The lead-in SE Drive models come with 17-inch alloy wheels, Amundsen touchscreen navigation and LED headlights as standard. They also come with rear LED lights with welcome effect and dynamic indicators, colour multifunction trip computer, Smartlink with wireless Apple CarPlay and rear parking sensors as standard.

SE L models are priced from £27,785 OTR and introduce 18-inch alloy wheels, chrome roof rails and window surround, Winter Pack (with heated steering wheel and front seats, heated windscreen washer nozzles and headlight washers) and the clever and functional VarioFlex seating. Also included are keyless entry and start/stop system, extended rear spoiler and the Parking Pack with rear-view camera and front parking sensors.

SportLine models start from £31,835 and feature full LED matrix headlights with AFS (adaptive front light system), LED interior light pack and a panoramic sunroof. Metallic paint and an electrically operated boot and virtual pedal are also standard, along with a Winter Pack and enhanced Parking pack that also includes rear sensors.

Engine line-up incorporates two petrol and two diesel powertrains. The entry petrol is a 110hp 1.0-litre TSI unit, while a 150hp 1.5-litre TSI is also available, the latter with the option of a seven-speed DSG.

Diesel line-up features a 2.0 TDI with outputs of 116hp and 150hp. As with the petrol range, the higher power unit can be ordered with a seven-speed DSG. The 2.0 TDI can also be specified with four-wheel drive.

First deliveries for the updated Karoq are expected late spring.
