Checks still leave it open to see if anything will change in the interior. Since the Karoq was launched in 2017, it is yet to feature the current cockpit orientation of the brand.

More far-reaching measures would be too costly for the facelift model. The face-lifted Karoq should have wireless smartphone integration (Apple CarPlay and Android Auto) and software updates “over the air” in the future.
