The ŠKODA KAROQ is about safety without compromise. Following features are available as a standard or option:
› Isofix and Top Tether anchorage points to fasten a child seat to the second-row outboard seats. Isofix is also available for the front-passenger seat.
› Unlike cruise control, which maintains a set speed, the speed limiter allows the driver to travel at any speed up to, but not more than, the predefined value.
› ABS keeps the wheels from locking during emergency braking or when braking on slippery surfaces.
› By increasing the braking pressure, the HBA braking assist helps drivers in situations in which emergency braking is necessary. This can lead to a significant reduction in the braking distance required.
› EBD automatically optimises braking pressure and the overall braking balance and prevents the rear wheels from overbraking.
› MSR counters the locking action of the driving wheels, which can occur when the driver decelerates on a smooth surface.
› The ASR ensures smooth starting and acceleration without the wheels spinning on slippery surfaces.
› EDL helps when accelerating or driving uphill with low traction under one of the driven wheels.
› TSA operates when the vehicle is equipped with an original towing device with its own control unit. The system works on the principle braking one or more wheels and simultaneously reducing engine torque as necessary. The TSA system intervenes and helps stabilize the car and the trailer.
› XDS+ helps the driver during sharp turns and ensures that the vehicle behaves neutrally during dynamic cornering. The control electronics essentially simulate the presence of a self-locking differential to improve traction and driving dynamics during turns. As a result, the vehicle will take bends much more assuredly and naturally.
› Tyre Pressure Monitoring TPM+ keeps the driver informed of the tyre pressure at all times.
› The optional Hill-Hold Control helps drivers to start uphill safely. The system activates itself on inclines of five degrees or more and ensures easy and safe uphill starting without the use of the handbrake. The system keeps the car from rolling backwards or stalling.
› Flashing brake lights reduce the risk of rear-end impact, especially when approaching the traffic jams on highways or sudden braking in front of the unexpected obstacle.
The ŠKODA KAROQ is available with an electronically controlled multi-plate clutch. The state-of-the-art all-wheel drive guarantees optimal driving dynamics, the highest standard of active safety, and economical consumption.
Torque distribution to all four wheels is automatic and depends on the driving environment. The ideal torque for the rear axle is calculated by the control unit. Adjustments are made by variable pressure on the clutch plates.
For maximum driving pleasure, the KAROQ can be fitted with Dynamic Chassis Control, incorporating Driving Mode Select. As such, the car offers several modes that change both the stiffness of the shock absorbers and other vehicle settings. Reconfiguring the car from a comfortable, relaxed mode to a dynamic, sporty setting is as easy as pressing a button.
The Dynamic Chassis Control continuously monitors, evaluates and responds to current driving behaviour (braking, acceleration, turning) and, depending on the mode set, adapts the damping characteristics for each wheel individually and independently.
This feature provides the KAROQ with better handling and agility in curves. The progressive steering changes ratio depending on how far the wheel is turned.
The standard tyre repair kit can optionally be replaced by:
› a full-size steel or alloy spare wheel
› a space-saving steel spare wheel
The KAROQ has a flat boot floor with no spare wheel well. Any kind of spare wheel on board makes the boot floor higher.
