Skoda Karoq vs Volkswagen T-Roc | Comparison | OVERDRIVE 

Finally Overdrive appreciating germans rather than Koreans. That comment on Build Quality and Paint quality was very rare from any reviewers.

i own a tiguan. these engines make u smile whenever you drive. i know they cost a bomb but after that bad day at office a smile on your face while driving this machines is priceless. VW service has improved leaps & bounds. No issues of getting spares

For 5 Lakhs extra of Skoda Karoq over VW T-Roc, you get: 1. Bigger car with more space and 200mm ground clearance (same as XUV 500) Troc has just 170mm GC. 2. Dual tone beige and black interiors like Superb L&K or Kodiaq (VW has all black, which IMO makes the already small cabin of Troc feel even smaller) 3. 10 colour Ambient cabin lighting 4. 4 way Electric lumbar in driver seats: helpful for people with lower back issues like my dad (Troc has only 2 way adjustable manual lumbar support) 5. Way Bigger panaromic sunroof and boot space in Karoq 6. Electric drivers seat with memory function 7. Auto dimming outside rear view mirrors with memory function 8. iBuzzer and fatigue alert system 9. 8 speakers & 9 airbags (Troc has only 6 speakers and 6 airbags) 10. Navigation with live traffic updates built in (Navigation comes in virtual cockpit as well, not in Troc) 11. Cruise control (surprising miss in Troc) 12. Full LED Fog lamp projectors (Troc has halogen reflectors) 13. Skoda's simply clever things like clever arm rest storage management, boot storage management, in car dustbin, ticket holder, umbrella under front seats, AC vents under the seats, rear camera washer, etc. 14. Better built interiors in Karoq with soft touch materials (same quality as superb & Kodiaq). Troc has hard plastic on Dash and doors (like polo, vento). If you can extend your budget, definitely buy the Karoq. Non-European Alternatives depending on your needs: 1. For space: Harrier, Tucson 2. For 4x4: Tucson GLS 4x4, Compass Trailhawk 3. For Value: Creta/Seltos 4. The 7 seater options: XUV 500, Crysta, Hexa (I don’t recommend MG Hector because it’s owned buy a Chinese brand).

I’ve drive both Hyundai n VW for last 10 years. Would like to say one thing. If u want fuel efficiency go for Korean or Japanese. But if u like driving pleasure go for German. It’s efficiency vs engineering.

That comment about paint quality is spot on. You park a Hyundai alongside a VW and you will notice the superior paint quality in VW.

I bought a Karoq last year. It's the best all-round car I've ever owned.

ur right!!! the Karoq feels more premium hands down!!! but you've to admit the T ROC looks way better than the Karoq hands down!!! why couldn't VW make the Touareg look more SUVish like the T ROC!!!

A lot of reviews don't mention the difference in features between the cars. For example T-Roc doesn't have cruise or traction control, no electrically adjustable seats, no day night RVM, no memory function seats and no LED fog lamps whereas Karoq has all of these. While Karoq has almost everything it doesn't have hill assist, ventilated seats or gear shift indicators which are all present in T-Roc.

I don't know why Indians don't appreciate VW group of cars,they are tank like beasts! I can live with their cars for life! I have a vento and I just can't imagine living without it and I will replace it with a VW group car for sure!

T-roc is hatchback but look class

I bought the t roc as it make sense as it is for my office commute the car is very silent and easy to drive in city condition irrespective of wet or dry. And karoq I didn’t quite like it as it looks like just another Skoda and didn’t have anything different other than the engine and Skoda dealership in Tamil Nadu doesn’t provide you a good customer experience didn’t find it appealing. Thumbs up for t roc

I feel the karoq is a car at tiguan (not all space) price range. It sits higher than t roc. And has almost the same price as a normal 5 seat tiguan. But since the tiguan is not there it’s cool comparing these two. I just wanna say this- exteriors i would simply give the win to t roc no second thoughts , the coupe like design is amazing. The interior, no second thoughts again, karoq easily wins that one.

I own a golf with 2.0 TDI wagon .. 150 ... and my sister has a tiguan 190 4motion ... they both rock.

T - roc.... Anytime.. Its butch and agility is paramount in my driving dynamic dept.

I still believe at this price point karoq should have been given 4 wheel drive system rest every thing is excellent with karoq. I still believe It is expensive at this price point. If they had got diesel and 4 wheel drive at this price no one could have beat karoq in this segment.

Extra 5 lakhs on Karoq is definitely worth it. I will definitely pay extra.

SKODA Simply Clever. VOLKSWAGEN Das Auto.

I will go with the T-Roc. Better looking, better dynamics better priced. The extra bits of Skoda certainly don’t look worth extra 5 Lakhs

The troc is just 45 kgs lighter dude.

I think, the comparison should have been done between tiguan and karoq as per the price range.

Our collective mistake shrunk GDP by -24%. Avg combined sales of 100 CBU/Month will intumesce India's *Trade Deficit by ₹250 crore/Yr,* Go4 *Made in India.*

OverDrive....!!!Thanks for the Video.... Will go with Skoda Karoq...Simply Clever...😎...The Premium feel Looks better...😍

T Roc in my opinion!

Guys how old is your camera? I'm sure phones shoot better videos these days. Great content nonetheless. Better "quality" videos would make it much more fun to watch :)

Expected review..!!!🙏 Any information regarding Skoda Karoq manual diesel transmission launch date in india.. please inform as soon as possible...

You mentioned about Yeti. I own an 8 yr old 1.8TSI Yeti and I live in the Middle East. Time to change my car. For long drives how do you feel these two compared to Yeti. Might want the Haldex 4x4 of Yeti too just in case. Do these have? Or to go to Kodiaq?

T-Roc should be badged as luxury hatch and not as SUV. Why badge a small compact car as SUV !! Just because naming it as SUV will get more sale. People who contradict saying some like small SUV they should tell they like Big Hatch backs. It's an insult to SUV category to be small.

What ever reviewers speak go for german cars blindli that's my self experience, the feel, the happiness, that bloody confidence they give, they r awesome man

Troc a very big NOOOOO... VW just cheats by offering a car at 25L with hard plastics, spaceless cabin, low ground clearance, manually adjustable driver seat and a more crossover type appearance nd functions... Man it's 25L and at this price point, y to go for a car with all the above bad qualities in it!!! So it's definitely a solid deal to pay that extra 5L and go for Karoq which is such a nice SUV on offer... Atleast drive both the cars, I'm sure Karoq's vehicle dynamics is no less than troc... Anyways, views and interests might differ for individuals... so KAROQ is my definite choice!!!

Funny how people nowadays are talking about airy rear interior. While they clearly forgot that when they were kids no sunroof was available, they were happy rolling down the windows now they want the roof to be rolled down too.

Karoq is a Q7 in a skoda name,what a beast,premium interior . im gonna buy it next month

TROC looks much sportier and is indeed when you compare it to Karoq..i can skip those premium interiors for the fun to drive factor and also to me Skoda Karoq looks more like a gentleman SUV not very youthful..i am waiting for TROC to come as CKD when it will be priced atleast 16L-17L which will be the right time to upgrade from Polo TDI..no way germans can be beaten on dynamics and quality front by any koreans in the competition..

i dont understand you all you say Troc is a size of premium hatch back and then u say vehichles like scross and wrv are suv like...! ISNT THIS A CROSSOVER SEGMENT (premium/non premium) why so much confusion!

The problem of skoda is, they are discontinuing their cars rapidly in INDIA.. for eg, skoda octavia is no more available except rs version.. Skoda kodiaq has been discontinued temporarily.. Plus at a high cost, people are moving towards, benz, bmw & audi..

One of the best reviews ive seen on these cars thank you.

Karoq please !!

8:13 Lane keep assist is needed in that auto in the front. Lane keep assist in our country should also whack the driver when the driver when they drive in default between the lanes mode 😀

Is Skoda reliable in India now? Planning to buy Karoq but scared of the horror stories..

Great Review Rohit...! 👍🏻

Minor suggestion: Skip the annoying jump cuts and have a still frame for a few minutes so that we can take a jolly good look at the cars. The jump cuts add no value to this video at all.

I would like to buy Karoq in India so what’s the price ?

Karoq commands higher price over troc because of everything

Parent company VW so both share same engine tech.

Karoq❤️

very nicely summed up!!!

I would spend 3-4 lakhs more and get vw tiguan all space then these two cars is better choice

6:01 Who was that???

Please do a Tucson vs Karoq comparison video.

T roc for sure, skoda is asking for too much of a premium for those extra features

Looking at these two, the Compass doesn't feel overpriced now.

Excellent compare overdrive ..👍 Way above other pathetic so called car channels

Karoq anyday !

How these two vehicles are compared to 2020 Tata Harrier or 2020 Mahindra Thar? My point of view: between Tata Harrier and Skoda Karoq there's a stiff competition. But in regards of off-roading or rainy muddy roads Mahindra Thar gets the point.

Karoq any day

Skoda all day

Karoq is best

Kodiaq

OD need a better video editor and director. Video doesn't have to be an audio podcast.

Compass should have joined the duo in comparison

What's your opinion about the new Tucson 2wd new 8 speed auto gearbox...

I like the skoda

For the same price I will buy Innova Top End which will run till both these cars just fell apart.

Dream to work with VOLKSWAGEN

Vw troc looks better than skoda karoq👌👌👌👍😝😎

​Beauty is in the eye of the keyholder, but that Karoq is ugly. That grill looks like Hitler's moustache

Yeti is my favourite too.. 😇

Dear Team OD - Can these vehicles be pitted against the Compass? If yes, based on your experience, how do you think they would fare in the comparo. At least now that we found out that the Karoq is a better buy inspite of the premium price tag, pls pls pls pls do a comparo with the mighty Jeep Compass.... Pls

Don’t buy VW, always ABS sensor issues around 4500 to 5500 will cost, past two years same issues happening VW not able to rectify this problem. Every four to six this issue will come up.

Please review Hyundai Tucson both petrol and diesel.

Both are amazing cars to own and are at a completely different price points to compare.

Skoda Karoq

KAROQ : Only backside is good. Side looks like a - DABBA. Front looks even ugly. ! They have to change the design soon ! Lines are good but exterior is - dabba !

I can understand Skoda is one size bigger, however still I can’t understand 5lkh difference... is the the case Skoda is turning the table on VW...now they want to be premium offering instead of VW when they were in command....

I got with Vw

Y did skoda stop KAROQ imports😒😒🤦🤦🤦....

T roc anyday

Both are disguised audi

Comparing these 2 is like comparing FABIA and POLO.

Why Skoda stopped Kodiaq production?

Brother you are slimmer and smarter now ❤️

Same company

30 lakh for karoq and for petrol Then what about endeavour and fortuner

Karoq👍

Karooq is better than t-roc

T rock rocks

Rather I'll wait for Taigun

Neither Karoq nor T Roc..Except having a premium badge name on them , What are the plus point when compared to Seltos or Creta..

Beige is a strict no. Will buy Karoq in 2024. Will keep Honda city for now.

No AWD , poor interior T roc...Shitting ...my mistake.. Shipping all the left overs from European markets to India 😂

Harrier only💪💪💪💪💪

Interior and exterior is karaoq

It's difficult to understand you You speak so fast sounds like u are speaking in hindi or you wanna finish the video so fast

Price diff. Is huge..of 5 lakhs around.. Its like comparing santro vs vento😂

Network 18

No meaning without diesel

Lol it’s like comparing a donkey to a stallion for real if you can afford it who’s buying the skoda Skoda have been making awesome cars over the last few years but they have a bad rep they are better off rebadging to another name. Like I said skoda make great cars they really do but they have a huge amount of baggage

Outdated Tech and still ICE, not even hybrid for the money... Complete waste of money.....

Troc anyday

ताकि कुछ समज आ जाए...

Skoda and WV are not understanding Indian Market!! Why no Diesel engine ❓❓
