FIRST REPORT It’s time to put our award-winning crossover to the ultimate family test.

- Steve Walker

Skoda Karoq

WE know the Skoda Karoq is good. Not just good in fact, it’s our Best Mid-Size SUV for 2018.It’s blitzed our road tests and faced off against some highly talented rivals to drive away with the big award in what is one of the most competitive sectors of the UK car market today.

What we don’t know yet is what the Karoq is like to live with for an extended period. Will the sheen on Skoda’s all conquering crossover be dulled once it comes into contact with a few oily bikes, wet dogs and kids’ crayons? That’sthe next stage in our ongoing evaluation of the car and the unsuspecting guinea pig that's set to get both barrels from the Walker family is the new Skoda Karoq SE L that has joined our fleet.
