Skoda Karoq 1.0 TSI SE 5dr Petrol Estate

The 2019 Skoda Karoq 1.0 TSI SE might be the entry point to Skodas mid-size SUV range, but dont let the badge or the engine size fool you, this is a seriously competent and cleverly packaged crossover. Sitting neatly in that sweet spot between the compact and family SUV segments, the Karoq exudes quiet confidence. Its styling is restrained but smart, with clean lines, a strong shoulder, and just enough chrome and cladding to give it a touch of ruggedness without trying too hard. Under the bonnet is the much-loved 1.0-litre three-cylinder turbocharged petrol engine, producing a healthy 115bhp. While it may seem modest on paper, the engine punches well above its weight, especially around town and on A-roads. Its peppy, smooth, and impressively refined for a three-pot, delivering just enough performance to make everyday driving effortless. Paired with a light, easy manual gearbox or DSG auto, the Karoq 1.0 TSI proves you dont need big displacement to enjoy a flexible, efficient SUV. Inside, the SE spec keeps things straightforward, and all the better for it. Supportive cloth seats, dual-zone climate control, rear parking sensors, and an intuitive infotainment system with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto come as standard. Everything feels solid, well thought-out, and refreshingly free from gimmicks. Space, as always with Skoda, is used brilliantly: rear passengers are well-catered for, and the boot is among the largest in the class, making this a genuinely usable family car. The 2019 Karoq 1.0 TSI SE is a masterclass in sensible motoring. It doesnt shout about its strengths, it just gets on with the job, quietly excelling in comfort, practicality, and value. For those after a fuss-free, capable, and economical crossover, its hard to think of a better all-rounder.
