Skoda launched its Karoq crossover four years ago. I remember the launch well because it took place in Strasbourg and the driving route took in the Alsace region.
The weather was gorgeous but what made it memorable was the journalist sharing my car was an expert on military history and told me fascinating wartime facts about the area.
Sadly, the Karoq itself was less memorable – another crossover based on the usual Volkswagen Group underpinnings. Worthy but dull.
