Skoda has announced specs and prices for the facelifted version of its Karoq medium SUV.

Updates to the model include design changes such as a wider front grille, slimmer headlights, and aerodynamically-optimised alloy wheels, the latter of which along with rear window finlets and a new rear spoiler is said to improve the car’s aerodynamics and therefore lower its CO2 emissions.

All four engine options with the range – 110hp and 150hp petrols, and 116hp and 150hp diesels – have also received engineering updates designed to improve efficiency.

There’s a choice of three equipment grades – SE Drive, SE L, and Sportline.

Standard equipment with the SE Drive grade includes 17in alloy wheels, sat-nav, LED headlights and tail lights, wireless Apple Carplay connectivity, and rear parking sensors.

Further equipment with SE L spec includes 18in alloy wheels, chrome roof rails, chrome window surrounds, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, heated windscreen washer and headlight washer nozzles, Varioflex seating, keyless entry, a reversing camera, and front parking sensors.

Further equipment with the range-topping Sportline grade includes LED matrix headlights, an LED interior light pack, a panoramic sunroof, metallic paint, and an electric tailgate.

Starting prices are £25,950 for SE Drive spec, £27,785 for SE L, and £31,835 for Sportline.

Orders for the facelifted Karoq will open on 17 February, with the first deliveries planned for late spring.
