Hot car deal: Skoda Karoq Sportline SUV for just £262 per month

If the Kodiaq is too big for you, then the Skoda Karoq might just be the ticket, and you can get hold of this family SUV for a bargain £262 a month! We like the Karoq even when it’s not on such an enticing deal, thanks to the brand’s ability to offer practicality from the class above; the Karoq looks great value compared with rivals of a similar price. 

What’s so good about this Skoda Karoq deal?

This deal from Xcite Car Leasing lets you cover up to 5,000 miles a year with an initial payment of £3,146.26 followed by monthly payments of £262.19 over three years. You can extend or shorten the term length, or increase the annual mileage, but this will increase the monthly payments. For example, an increase to 10,000 annual miles will put the price up to £279.97 a month.

Better yet, this deal is for the Karoq with the 1.5-litre TSI, which is our favourite all-rounder of the range in terms of performance and economy. It also comes in Sportline trim, which gives the Karoq a racier look and comes with sharp-looking touches like black exterior and interior elements, heated front sports seats, dual-zone climate control, lane-keeping assist, cruise control, and an eight-inch infotainment screen with sat nav, along as other touches, so it’s certainly well equipped.

What’s so good about the Skoda Karoq?

Skoda offers a lot of bang for your buck, and in any guise the Karoq epitomises that ethos. It appeals because it offers a good middle ground between the small Kamiq and the massive Kodiaq SUVs, but is still impressively practical for its class, with a bigger boot than the SEAT Ateca, which is also well designed and easy to access.

You might not expect it from its SUV looks, but the Karoq is actually quite fun to drive, with accurate, sharp steering and little body roll. It’s not an out-and-out hot SUV, but that’s good news for passengers because it’s also well balanced in terms of comfort, ironing out imperfections in the road surface.

Anything else I need to know about this deal?

This is a lease deal, often referred to as Personal Contract Hire (PCH), so there’s no option to buy the car at the end of the contract. You are effectively renting the car for the two-year term, but the deal is very flexible so you can adjust the term length, mileage limit and initial payment size to suit, but only at the outset. Once the deal is over, you just hand the keys back and start looking for your next car.
