"Four years on, the Skoda Karoq undergone a facelift which sees it looking sterner."

"I’ve owned multiple DSG cars over the years, so I am no strange to their quirkiness – that characteristic hesitancy in stop and go traffic has been greatly minimized over the past generations, all the while maintaining that engaging gearbox performance over a regular automatic or CVT."

"The Skoda Karoq lives right in the middle of what is the toughest and most competitive section of the New Zealand market. A mid-size SUV around the $50k mark means that there are a lot of alternative options available for prospective buyers."
