Škoda introduces the sporty Karoq SportLine

19” ‘Vega’ alloy wheels, redesigned bumpers, rear privacy glass and a black finish for most of the exterior components give the Karoq SportLine a purposeful appearance.

Inside, this new trim grade gains air-permeable ‘Thermoflux’ black upholstery, front sports seats, stainless steel pedals, LED ambient lighting and a black headlining.

Although most customers probably won’t be too bothered about performance, the SportLine will be the only version of Škoda’s compact SUV that’s available with a 2.0 litre TSI petrol engine.

The full powertrain line-up comprises:

• 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS) 1.5 litre TSI petrol, six-speed manual gearbox, front-wheel drive
• 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS) 1.5 litre TSI petrol, seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, all-wheel drive
• 187 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS) 2.0 litre TSI petrol, seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, all-wheel drive

• 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS) 2.0 litre TDI diesel, six-speed manual gearbox, front-wheel drive
• 148 bhp (110 kW / 150 PS) 2.0 litre TDI diesel, seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, all-wheel drive
• 187 bhp (140 kW / 190 PS) 2.0 litre TDI diesel, seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission, all-wheel drive

Škoda is expected to confirm final specifications and prices for the 2019 Karoq SportLine later this year.
