After it took the veil off the Karoq Scout, Skoda is much obliged to expand the compact crossover’s lineup with the Karoq Sportline. Even though the name sounds sporty and the visuals are too, don’t expect the type of performance that you’d get from the Kodiaq RS or the Cupra Ateca.
Finished in a lovely shade of red, the pictured vehicle comes with more aggressive bumpers and side skirts, tinted windows, black-painted roof rails and exterior trim, as well as a few Sportline badges here and there. 18-inch wheels come standard, but the Karoq Sportline in the photo gallery is equipped with the optional 19-inch set.
Moving on to the interior, silver stitching over black sport seats are in the offing. The upholstery is called Thermoflux, which Skoda describes as being “revolutionary” thanks to the “three-ply air-permeable fabric.” Stainless steel trim on the pedals, perforated leather on the steering wheel, LED ambient lighting, and a black-finished headliner and pillars round off the list of standard bits and pieces you’ll find inside the Karoq Sportline.
Those who want to be all snazzy in their Skoda crossover utility vehicle, don’t forget to specify the digital instrument cluster from the options list. Compared to the regular Karoq with this system, the Sportline comes with an additional mode that displays the rev counter and speedometer bang in the center of the screen.
Going official this fall at the 2018 Paris Motor Show alongside the Scout, the Sportline can be had with front- and all-wheel-drive. Speaking of the oily bits, Skoda offers two transmissions: six-speed manual or seven-speed dual-clutch.
In regard to suck-squeeze-bang-blow, the 1.5 TSI, 2.0 TDI, and 2.0 TSI are available to order. Output ratings start from 150 PS for the 2.0 TDI and 1.5 TSI, then level up to 190 PS for the more powerful 2.0 TDI and 2.0 TSI.
If, for whatever reason, the Karoq Sportline is too small for your family’s needs, the Kodiaq Sportline should be on you shortlist.
