The Skoda Karoq features a range of safety-focused Assistance Systems
Skoda have achieved this impressive safety rating thanks to the extensive range of safety technology included in the Karoq model range.
Below are just some of the safety features you’ll find in the Skoda Karoq as standard:
Front Assist with City Emergency Brake
This system is just one example of the exceptionally clever car tech that Skoda are installing as standard. Using a radar sensor system, Front Assist monitors how far you are from traffic in front – warning of danger and, if a collision can’t be aboded, applies the breaks itself to reduce the likely damage.
Electronic Tyre Pressure Monitoring
If you’ve ever had a type blow out, this will reassure you – the tyre pressure system ensures you are always up to date on the type pressure, giving you advance warning if tyres need filling or replacing.
ESC with Multi-Collision Brake
ESC stands for Electronic Stability Control, and this clever system is designed to bring you to a halt of your air bag are deployed, minimising the chance of a pileup and aiming to prevent further damage to your vehicle.
XDS+, an advanced electronic differential lock function.
XDS+ is a clever feature that helps the driver during sharp turns and ensures that the vehicle behaves neutrally during dynamic cornering. This aims to increase vehicle traction and prefer the change of you sliding or struggling on bends and corners.
In addition, you can “spec up” your Skoda Karoq to include these even more advanced safety features: Blind Spot Detect, Rear Traffic Alert or Front Assist with Predictive Pedestrian Protection.

We’re all familiar with the importance of a good airbag system when keeping you and your family safe in a collision.

These are front airbags, an impressive range of side airbags, curtain airbags and even knee airbags for the driver.
