The Karoq doesn’t feel too far off the Kodiaq and that isn't something you should be worried about
INDIA 2.0 IS APPROACHING. Skoda will be spearheading the engineering to localise the Volkswagen Group’s MQB-A0 platform for the Indian market, but that’s still some time away. We can expect the first India 2.0 SUVs to hit our markets only in 2021. Does that mean Skoda will kick its feet up and wait till then? Absolutely not. There are a few cars in the pipeline — an off-road biased Kodiaq Scout being one, and the updated Superb being the other. But by far, the most important one is this, the Karoq. Successor to the Yeti, this will be Skoda’s entry level SUV in India, at least until the Kamiq (or whatever the MQB-A0-IN SUV will be called in India) gets here. A quick spin in the Czech countryside gave us insight into what you can expect.
