While retaining its strong family characteristics, the much-anticipated KAROQ will continue to drive ŠKODA AUTO's success in India."

The latest ŠKODA AUTO offering comes equipped with a 1.5 TSI petrol engine, mated to a seven-speed automatic dual-clutch transmission, delivering an power output of 150 PS (110 kW), and a peak torque output of 250 Nm. In addition, it features panoramic sunroof, virtual cockpit, and nine airbags - that reiterate ŠKODA AUTO’s strong emphasis on the safety of its customers.

Skoda will also be launching the updated Rapid with a 1.0-litre TSI engine and the updated Superb as well. Introduced in 2011, the RAPID marked ŠKODA AUTO’s foray into the popular C segment in India.
