日前，海外媒体曝光斯柯达即将推出的全新紧凑型SUV—KAROQ，基于MQB平台打造，看起来像”小号“的柯迪亚克。新车将于今年11月的广州车展上发布国产版本，相比海外版加长约50mm轴距，并计划于2018年1-2月份上市。新车外观采用了斯柯达最新的设计语言，整体上与斯柯达柯迪亚克保持一致，仅在细节上有所调整，比如在车身侧面、尾部包围和车顶行李架上均采用了黑色涂装，突出了运动感。国产KAROQ在动力方面还不清楚，在海外新车将提供5款动力总成，其中1.5TSI或将成为主流产品。随着紧凑型SUV车型的加入，上汽大众和上汽斯柯达的SUV产品阵营不断扩充，到2018年上汽大众与上汽斯柯达将面向市场推出途观丝绸之路版、KAROQ、柯迪亚克、途观L和途昂在内的至少5款不同级别和定位的SUV产品，届时，上汽大众与斯柯达的SUV车型矩阵式布局初步建成。
