The Skoda Karoq small SUV (almost midsize, really) has arrived in Australia with the choice of a 110kW Style model with FWD or a 140kW AWD Sportline grade. The two cost $43K driveaway and $50K driveaway though there are options you can choose from which increase the price.

The Karoq competes with the likes of the Kia Seltos, Mazda CX-30, and the incoming Toyota Corolla Cross that is very close to the Skoda on price, but also affords the choice of a hybrid grade.

On test here is the Skoda Karoq 110TSI Style ($42,990 driveaway) with additional options fitted. It uses a 1.4-litre turbo petrol engine with 110kW of power (147 hp) and 250Nm torque.
