Škoda is set to broaden the appeal of its best-selling Karoq by adding a new, value packed trim level. The new Karoq Design Edition features a striking exterior design package along with a high standard specification to give buyers even better value for money.
Škoda adds high-spec Design Edition to Karoq range
Available to order at Škoda retailers from Wednesday 1 July, the new Design Edition sits between the existing SE Edition and SE L Edition models in the revised model range. Priced from £31,610, the new Design Edition is just £650 more than the SE Edition, yet comes with a host of additional equipment.
The Karoq Design Edition is distinguished by its dynamic exterior styling which features a host of elements designed to give it a strikingly dynamic look. In addition to new 18-inch Hydrus black alloy wheels, the Design Edition also features black door mirrors and radiator grille, black roof rails, extended rear spoiler and black Škoda and Karoq lettering on the tailgate.
Inside, the Design Edition features a Lodge interior design selection with black fabric upholstery, along with all the technology features buyers have come to expect from Škoda. The new trim grade also comes with Drive mode select with ECO function as standard. In terms of other equipment, the Design Edition features an Amundsen touchscreen satellite navigation system with 8-inch screen, along with an eight-speaker sound system and a 10.25-inch Virtual cockpit driver display. Heated front seats, a two-spoke heated leather multifunction steering wheel (with paddles for DSG), rear view camera and a Keyless entry and start/stop system are also included as part of the Design Edition’s standard specification.
Customers ordering the new Karoq Design Edition can choose from two powertrain options: a 1.0 TSI 116PS or a 1.5 TSI 150PS unit. Both are equipped with a six-speed manual gearbox with the 1.5 TSI 150PS additionally available with a seven-speed DSG transmission.
