The Skoda Karoq has turned out to be an SUV with a lot of potentials. It packs a very spacious and upmarket cabin to keep the family happy, an engine that strikes the right balance between fun and practical, and a suspension setup already ready for Indian roads. The only place where the Karoq can fall short is the looks. Not because it's not a good looking SUV, but because it lacks the traditional muscular flavor which our market generally goes for. The only thing which can overturn this issue can be the cost. But as per its pricing, the popularity of the Karoq could be limited, with people looking for a quality experience rather than one which makes them stand out. On the other hand, 2021 Volkswagen Tiguan is expected to be launched in the first quarter of 2021 and it is likely to be priced around Rs. 25 lakh that is similar to Skoda Karoq. So, for a better comparison, we would suggest you to wait for its launch. Do take a test drive for Karoq in order to get better clarity. Check out authorised dealership details.
