The Czech car manufacturer will be presenting an even more rugged variant of the popular compact SUV series in October at the Paris Motor Show 2018 – the new Karoq Scout. As with all Skoda Scout models, the Karoq Scout comes with four-wheel-drive as standard in addition to sporting a powerful off-road look.
The Karoq feels just as much at home in the big city as it does off the beaten track. In numerous variants, the Karoq can meet the needs of every customer – from the young family to lovers of the great outdoors. Just like the Octavia Scout and the Kodiaq Scout, the latest addition to the Scout family offers four-wheel-drive as standard. In addition, the powerful off-road design emphasises the model’s optimised off-road potential. With its rough terrain package, the Karoq Scout is fully prepared for demanding trips where tarmac roads end.
As the only variant of the compact SUV available exclusively with all-wheel-drive, the Karoq Scout is offered with three efficient and environmentally friendly engines.

With its chrome and silver-coloured bodywork elements, striking wheel-arch linings and anthracite 19-inch ‘Crater’ alloy wheels, the Karoq Scout sports a robust appearance. Tinted windows and “Scout” logos on the front mudguards round off the powerful look.
In the cabin, the seats feature newly designed covers with black-brown contrasting seams. All seats are embroidered with “Scout” lettering. The multi-function leather steering wheel, pedals with stainless steel elements and an LED package that includes ambient lighting complete the extensive range of standard equipment.
Drivers can individually configure the Karoq Scout’s Virtual Cockpit according to their needs. The driving mode selection offers an off-road setting. Thanks to an optional LTE module and Wi-Fi hotspot, passengers in the Karoq are always online.
A true Skoda, the Karoq Scout boasts numerous ‘Simply Clever’ ideas and storage options. The electric boot lid with tip-to-close function opens and closes at the push of a button or by pulling gently on the open lid; on request, the virtual pedal under the rear bumper allows the fifth door to be opened with a simple foot motion. Skoda also offers a variable floor for the boot. Storage nets on the front seats and centre console make everyday driving easier, as does the compartment for small change and carpark tokens on the driver’s side, as well as a holder for multimedia devices.
