Short test: Škoda Karoq 2. TDI Sportline (2019) // Sports appetites
Hand on heart, SUVs, no matter how many sports accessories or kilowatts they find under the hood, cannot be considered athletes. In terms of driving dynamics, they cannot compete with sports limousines or coupes, and you will not see them in the area where real jeeps live. But most customers don't care. Various (plastic) accessories - sills, spoilers, oversized wheels and other accessories supplied by road sportsmen, certainly enliven their appearance on the car body; in fact, they improve it by making it more attractive to customers.
Pri Damage understands this very well and if they have already spiced up the Kodiaq after this sport, it is correct that this is a change in name Sportline got his younger and younger brother Karok. Does it meet the above standards? Undoubtedly! Low rims, body-colored plastic bumper covers, LED headlights, large tinted windows - it's all here. The sporty look continues in the interior, where we find sporty design seats with large lateral support and a one-piece backrest.
Unfortunately, the front seats (manually adjustable in the tester) deserve some criticism for the (too) soft part of the seat, which can cause a shift in search of a better driving position at a slightly longer distance. This is a great option, but it will also add a pleasant experience to the driver. great digital dashboard. You can adjust the display of data, as well as the color of lighting and interior lighting - in sports driving mode it is (respectively) bright red, but only from the front. Passengers in the rear seats were not provided with ambient lighting.In addition, they may lack a slightly softer, less durable plastic on the door.
While we noted above that SUVs have a hard time keeping up with true sports cars when it comes to performance, Karoq Sportline is working hard to get closer to them. The chassis is extremely sturdy and the steering is responsive, especially in Sporty driving mode, where the car itself further reinforces the relatively small and clipped steering wheel. On paper, a diesel engine might not be powerful enough. 110 kilowatts of power in combination with a six-speed manual transmission proves good responsiveness from a standstill.but at the same time low engine revs at highway speeds where he is likely to spend the most time.
