Skoda’s smallest SUV is a comfortable, class-leading family car.
PROS Very comfortable Seriously practical Generous standard kit Finance offers are very competitive
CONS Not as sharp to drive as some rivals 1.0-litre petrol engine struggles on motorways Lack of super-low-emissions engine Looks very similar to larger Kodiaq
The Karoq is an accomplished crossover that will slot effortlessly into family life. It’s practical, comfortable, and packed with clever touches inside and out.
Pros Roomy interior Generously equipped Cheaper than a Tiguan
Cons Not as engaging to drive as rivals DSG gearbox isn't the best Less characterful than its predecessor, the Yeti
The Skoda Karoq is a spacious family car with a big boot. It’s easy to drive and comfortable – so long as you avoid the big wheels – but Edition models are expensive
Pros Very practical Solid build quality Comfortable with smaller wheels
Cons Big wheels amplify bumps The 115hp petrol’s underpowered Top-of-the-range model is expensive
The Peugeot 3008 is a fun-looking SUV with a big boot, stylish interior and decent levels of equipment, but it takes a while to get used to the quirky small steering wheel and high-up instrument cluster
Pros Stylish inside and out Big boot Efficient engines
Cons No four-wheel-drive option Entry-level diesel is slow Oddly positioned instruments
The 3008 would have to be the best Peugeot I’ve driven apart from the 308 and I was rather forlorn to hand back the keys.
Pros Bold, attractive styling HUD instrument panel/advanced graphics Comfortable, luxury interior Tech features Dynamic handling Large panoramic roof Powered tailgate
Cons Flat topped steering wheel No powered seats
