Sales of the Chinese Skoda Karoq started in Russia

Skoda has not yet officially left Russia, and therefore it is quite possible to find Karoq in car dealerships. Another question is what dealers ask for it, as the AvtoVzglyad portal found out, from 2.9 million rubles, and not everyone is ready to pay such an amount for a compact crossover with an atmospheric engine of 110 hp. However, there is an alternative.

Judging by the price lists published on the official Skoda website, the price of the Karoq crossover starts at 2,716,000 rubles. In reality, dealers are asking for more – at least 2.9 million. Cars are still sitting in warehouses, but not many. For example, in one of the Moscow car dealerships, the AvtoVzglyad portal was told that only three cars remained “for sale for free”. So for those who want to get “Karok”, it makes sense to hurry.

However, there is another option: look at the Jetta VS5, the Chinese analogue of the Skoda Karoq. One of the capital’s dealers has already opened the acceptance of orders for this model: the starting price is much lower – 1,990,000 rubles.

Outwardly, the Jetta VS5 differs from the Skoda Karoq not only in design, but also in dimensions – the “Chinese” is slightly longer. As for the power unit, the Jetta is equipped with a 1.4-liter turbo engine with a capacity of 150 horsepower. Of. The gearbox is a six-speed automatic, the drive is front-wheel drive.

Having paid about 2 million rubles, the buyer will receive a crossover with 18-inch “wheels”, a multimedia complex with an 8-inch touch screen, climate control, a rear-view camera, an electric sunroof and parktronics all around. As for the second, more expensive version, it boasts an adaptive cruise, heated front seats and better interior trim materials.
