Is The Skoda Karoq a 4x4?

Is The Skoda Karoq a 4x4?

Many people opt for a 4x4 because of the safety features, practicality and off-roader functionality that they offer – and the Skoda Karoq is no different. But did you know that the majority of the older Skoda Karoq range aren’t actually four-wheel drive? Instead, they are front-wheel drive.

However, if you want to opt for a Skoda that comes with a 4x4 system as standard, the 2.0 TDI model is the best option for you. The largest of the range, this 2-litre, 150hp diesel vehicle is ideal for those wanting to tackle rugged areas or those who live somewhere will frequently poor weather. Alternatively, the Skoda Karoq can come in a 1.5-litre, 150hp petrol Sportline model and have 4x4 capabilities. But those aren’t the only models that are now available that can be 4x4.

Skoda Karoq Models

Skoda has recently released a new line of vehicles within the Karoq range that can be altered to feature four-wheel drive. Examples of which are the:
• Karoq SE L
• Karoq Scout
• Karoq Sportline
• Karoq Edition
• Karoq SE

Why the Skoda Karoq is a Popular Family SUV

We sell all of the above SUV 5-door vehicles on our website. Ranging in price depending on the model that you choose, there are many features that you can take advantage of in each of the above vehicles. From cutting-edge direct assistance safety systems to the Skoda Connect infotainment system, it’s no surprise that it won the Car of the Year Award in the category of 2019’s Best Family SUV.

But those aren’t the only features. People also love Skoda Karoq’s 4x4 range because:

Each of the models feature uphill start assist – which helps your car when you are pulling away in poor weather. It also offers a restricted RPM meaning that you have more control of the vehicle.

They all also feature downhill assist – to help when you are descending.

They have ABS off-road capabilities – assisting when you are on a rough surface and going up to 30mph. This will improve the control that you have over the car alongside the braking.

They feature EDS off-road capabilities – when you’re in poor weather conditions, this feature will ensure that you have maximum stability and traction.

They boast an off-road mode – specifically designed to help you when the driving conditions are difficult. From maintaining a constant speed when you’re in a mountainous area, to making sure that the vehicle keeps traction when it’s on rough surfaces, it can prove to be invaluable.

They have an ASR off-road function – to help with wet surfaces. This feature will adjust the wheel speed and improve acceleration.
