Overview
Listening to users, the New Karoq has been equipped with functions to meet customer needs such as Adaptive Cruise Control and Smart Automatic Parking. True to the assertion “Original from Europe – Superior experience”, the New Karoq delivers the value of a high-class imported car.
The car's chassis is MQB A1 with enhanced press-hardened steel content in key locations such as the A-pillar, B-pillar, and vehicle floor to improve occupant protection. The powertrain is a 1.4 TSI engine producing 150 PS and 250 Nm of torque at low rpm, paired with an 8-speed gearbox.
The Full LED matrix headlight system expands beam angle and adjusts intensity automatically to traffic conditions, reducing glare for oncoming vehicles. Safety systems include blind spot warning and rear cross traffic alert. Adaptive Cruise Control (ACC) is also available for highway driving.
After test drives, reviewers in Vietnam rated the New Karoq as having stability comparable to high-end European cars, with effective damping over potholes and speed bumps and a class-leading gearbox feel.
