It sits in the mid-range of the Karoq lineup and provides a good balance between comfort, technology and running costs. ? Engine & Efficiency At its heart is a 1.5-litre turbocharged petrol engine producing around 150 PS (110 kW) and 250 Nm of torque. This unit uses Active Cylinder Technology (ACT), which automatically deactivates two cylinders under light load to improve fuel efficiency without compromising drivability. ?Typical performance figures with a 6-speed manual include a 0–62 mph time of ~8.9 seconds, a top speed around 130 mph, and combined fuel economy in the mid-40s mpg (WLTP). ? Driving Character On the road the Karoq feels composed and predictable, with responsive steering and a suspension tuned for comfort. The 1.5 TSI provides a good mix of everyday punch and refinement, though stronger acceleration requires winding the engine higher. ? Interior & Practicality Inside, the SE trim offers a sensible level of equipment including: • Comfortable seating and quality materials tailored for daily use. ? • A well-designed cabin with easy-to-use infotainment and connectivity. ? • Generous storage spaces and a practical boot volume that’s competitive in its class. ? Practicality & Suitability The Karoq’s compact SUV footprint makes it easy to live with in town while still offering space for families and luggage for longer trips.
