The new Skoda Karoq is packed with features, but unlike its predecessor, it has no character

Does anyone remember the Skoda Yeti? Probably not. This quirky SUV is as rare and obscure as the mythical primate it was named after. So apart from a small tribe of loyal owners, smitten by its very distinctive and unusual character, the Yeti struggled to find customers. In fact, in the seven years it was on sale in India, Skoda managed to sell only 5,000 Yetis. To put that in perspective, the similarly priced Toyota Fortuner achieves the same sales figure every three months.

The first impression of the Karoq is that it’s bigger in every dimension and more of a scaled-down Kodiaq

Similar to the Kodiaq, this car has slim, sharply cut headlights, a nicely sculpted body and chunky proportions
