Skoda Karoq almost sold out in India

Almost all of the 1,000 units of the Skoda Karoq allotted to India have been sold out.

According to a tweet by Zac Hollis, director, sales, service and marketing at Skoda, almost all units of the Skoda Karoq have been sold.

The Karoq was launched in India in May 2020 and 1,000 units were allotted. While the cars were brought into the country as completely built-up units (CBU), Skoda is considering local assembly of the SUV.

The Karoq is equipped with features such as a digital instrument cluster, an 8-inch touchscreen infotainment head-unit, 2-zone automatic climate control and an electric sunroof. Other features include 12-way adjustable driver seat with memory function, SmartLink connectivity and cruise control. Safety features include 9 airbags, ABS with EBD and brake assist, ESC, hill-start assist and a rear parking camera.

The SUV is powered by a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produces 148 BHP @ 5,000-6,000 rpm and 250 Nm @ 1,500-3,500 rpm. The engine is mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission which drives the front wheels.
