Which version to choose

If the goal is the shortest 0–100, 2.0 DSG 190 hp Gasoline (7.0 s, 211 km/h, 1984 cc, 320 Nm, AWD, Robotic 7) is the measured minimum; combined use is the highest gasoline mixed figure at 7.0 L/100 km and CO2 is 158.

If the goal is the lowest measured combined use, 1.6 DSG (4.2 L/100 km, CO2 112, 10.9 s, 188 km/h) beats 1.6 MT (4.5 combined) by 0.3 L/100 km at the same 188 km/h top speed; restyling raises 1.6 MT / 1.6 DSG power from 115 hp to 116 hp and 1.6 MT torque from 250 Nm to 300 Nm.

If the goal is lightest measured mass, first-generation 1.0 DSG at 1251 kg kerb is 89 kg below 1.0 MT (1340 kg) and 338 kg below restyling 2.0 DSG 150 hp Diesel (1591 kg). 1.0 DSG is also 0.6 s quicker than 1.0 MT (10.0 vs 10.6 s).

Among 150 hp gasoline FWD cars: 1.5 MT is the quickest (8.4 s, 204 km/h, mixed 5.4); 1.5L TSI ACT is 0.6 s slower (9.0 s) with mixed 5.6; restyling 1.5 DSG is 8.8 s / 199 km/h with consumption not measured; 1.4 AT matches that 8.8 s / 199 km/h with mixed 6.3 and is the only Euro 5 / Automatic 8-speed entry. First-generation 1.5 DSG is the AWD 150 hp gasoline: 9.1 s, 196 km/h, mixed 6.5, 1505 kg — 127 kg heavier than 1.5 MT.

Among 150–190 hp diesels: FWD 2.0 MT (8.9 s, 207 km/h, CO2 115) versus AWD 2.0 MT (8.7 s, 196 km/h, mixed 5.0). Restyling 2.0 DSG 150 hp Diesel (360 Nm, 9.3 s, 195 km/h, mixed 5.2) trades 40 Nm more than FWD 2.0 MT (340 Nm) for 0.4 s slower 0–100. First-generation 2.0 DSG 190 hp Diesel (400 Nm, 7.8 s, 211 km/h, mixed 5.2) is the diesel performance peak and the torque peak of the whole file (400 vs 320 Nm on the petrol 2.0 DSG 190 hp).

Clearance peak in the file is 176 mm on first-generation AWD 2.0 diesels; restyling records 172 mm across the board. 1.4 AT clearance is not measured.

Problems, reliability, mpg

This catalogue does not store a problems or reliability log for Karoq, so failure rates, typical faults and service intervals are not measured. MPG in this article is the stored L/100 km set: the lowest measured combined figure is 4.2 on 1.6 DSG; the highest measured combined figure is 7.0 on petrol 2.0 DSG 190 hp. Versions with consumption not measured are FWD 2.0 MT (both periods) and restyling 1.5 DSG.
