In the ongoing saga of "How can we fit more features into a car?" Skoda is taking things up a notch with its revamped Karoq lineup in the United Kingdom, now featuring Edition trims that deliver more gadgets and goodies. Following in the footsteps of Fabia, Scala, and Kamiq models, the Karoq is stepping up to the plate with three new trims packed with tech and comfort features, all without sky-high price tags.

Say hello to the SE Edition, SE L Edition, and SportLine Edition trims, each one serving up a solid slice of Skoda’s reputation for value while making your commutes feel a little more luxurious. These editions come with a host of previously optional extras as standard, so if you've been looking for an excuse to upgrade, you might have just found it.

Starting at £29,975, the SE Edition is the revamped answer to the outgoing SE Drive model, now boasting front parking sensors, a rear-view camera, and keyless entry as standard. Perfect for those frosty mornings, this trim also includes heated front seats and a heated steering wheel, sparing drivers the ice-scraping dread of British winters.

Level up to the SE L Edition at £32,150, and you’ll find an electrically-operated boot with a virtual pedal, adaptive cruise control, and a 9.2-inch infotainment system with navigation.

For £36,390, the SportLine Edition is bringing a bit of rugged luxury into the lineup, if that’s an actual term. This flagship trim doesn’t skimp, boasting adaptive suspension, progressive steering, and adaptive cruise control as standard, plus a 4x4 option for when life takes you off-road. You’ll find heated rear seats, a heated windscreen, and the same infotainment system as in the SE L, making it almost impossible to leave the car once you’re in it. Full pricing is available below.
