When the lockdown ends, there will be an expensive but fun-to-drive SUV waiting to whisk us away
There are a bunch of cars waiting to be ‘unlocked,’ their launch plans scuppered by the Covid crisis and entire countries caged with strict lockdowns. So whilst these new cars are ready to hit the showrooms they have to just wait till the world starts rotating again. One such car is the Skoda Karoq, which I managed to drive in mid-March, just before the brakes were slammed on life as we know it.
The origami-like folds and creases in the bodywork give this SUV a lot of character
The engine doesn’t like being revved too hard and gets a bit boomy the harder you push it, so it’s best driven in a more relaxed manner
The seats are nicely sculpted and everything in the cabin is lined with premium-quality chrome
