Skoda Karoq removed from website

Skoda had imported 1,000 units of the Karoq as completely built-up units (CBU).

Skoda has removed the Karoq SUV from its Indian website.

The Karoq was launched in India in May 2020. 1,000 units were imported into the country as completely built-up units (CBU).

In June 2020, we had reported that Skoda was considering local assembly of the Karoq. However, it is unclear if the carmaker is still considering local assembly of the SUV.

The SUV was powered by a 1.5-litre, 4-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine that produced 148 BHP and 250 Nm. The engine was mated to a 7-speed dual-clutch automatic transmission.

At present, Skoda has only three cars on sale - Rapid, Octavia RS 245 and the Superb. A new SUV called the Kushaq will be launched this year.
