Skoda has updated its midsize Karoq SUV for the second half of 2022 with prices now starting at $42,990 driveaway for the entry ‘Style’ model and topping out at $49,990 for the Sportline model.

The Style is now fitted with black 18-inch alloy wheels (rather than the outgoing 17-inch wheels), front and rear parking sensors, power-folding mirrors, extended pedestrian protection for the autonomous emergency braking, and wireless phone charging.
