With a budget of 120,000-150,000, how to choose a suitable SUV is indeed a problem in front of many people. Although you can buy a lot of independent brand models at this price, you always feel that you can't get over it. If it is a joint venture SUV, there are not many options, either small SUVs such as Honda Binzhi and XR-V, or entry-level versions of compact SUVs such as Nissan Qashqai and Volkswagen Tango. These cars are either small in size or too prime. So in the price range of 120,000-150,000, is there an SUV, which is not only a joint venture brand, but also takes into account the advantages of large space, high configuration and good quality? I think the 2022 Skoda Kolok counts as one.
In terms of design, the Skoda designers made minor changes to Kolok. At the front, the redesigned double headlights are slimmer and feature LED matrix technology. Other changes include new bumpers, lower and wider lower air intakes and a new hexagonal chrome grille, a common feature of the entire Škoda range. The improvement of the front bumper was not only for design, but also to improve aerodynamics through the new air curtain.
Interior, the new Krock comes standard with an 8-inch digital instrument cluster, available as an optional 10.25-inch. The new car has four touchscreens to choose from, the largest of which is 9.2 inches and supports over-the-air updates. The Volkswagen Group's third-generation modular infotainment systems, Amundsen and Columbus, include applications such as news, weather forecasts and calendars, which integrate eSIM to allow wireless maps and software updates.
On the side, The Korok is tough, with a sharp waistline running through the back tail, a 17-inch two-tone wheel hub and arched eyebrows to accentuate it with a sense of power. In addition, the side frame and door handle are wrapped in chrome trim, and the fender and the front door panel are designed with an exclusive nameplate, which effectively enhances the refinement of the side. In terms of body size, the length, width and height are 4432mm/1841mm/1614mm, while the wheelbase is 2688mm, which is positioned in the compact class, and the size is mainstream.
In terms of power, 1.0-litre, 1.5-litre and 2.0-liter petrol engines, as well as 2.0-litre diesel engines, the transmission is available in 6-speed manual and 7-speed dual-clutch, and optionally with a four-wheel drive system.
