Skoda previews updated Karoq with design sketches
More distinctive front section as well as redesigned LED headlights and tail lights
Skoda has released two design sketches that preview the freshened Karoq SUV. The Czech automobile manufacturer’s compact SUV model – first introduced four years ago, in 2017 – has now undergone a design and technology update. Its digital media presentation will take place on 30 November.
One of the two design sketches shows the freshened Skoda Karoq’s new front. The Skoda grille has increased in width and now features double slats as well as a new hexagonal design, with a wide air intake underneath. The headlights are overall more slender than in the predecessor version and extend all the way to the grille. Their appearance is underscored by redesigned daytime running lights that are now composed of two separate elements each. Underneath is a second lighting unit for the fog lights or, in the top variant, a separate LED module. This headlight configuration enables a characteristic four-eyed driving lights look after dark.
The second sketch previews the Karoq’s redesigned rear. In addition to a longer rear spoiler and a visually updated rear apron with a black diffuser, the tail lights now sport a new, sharply drawn design as well. Like the headlights, they have been slimmed down and emphasise the vehicle’s width. In signature Skoda style, crystalline structures add a special visual effect to the tail lights, which will retain their characteristic C-shaped graphic. The updated Karoq will have its premiere in a digital media presentation on November 30.
