Besides building reliable cars that are more affordable than their VW-branded equivalents despite packing the same tech (and, sometimes, being even better to drive as well…), Skoda is famous for the “Simply Clever” features fitted to its vehicles.
The ŠKODA Karoq Velo is a concept vehicle meticulously crafted to cater to the needs of avid cyclists, embodying the brand's commitment to cycling enthusiasts. This unique SUV integrates several innovative features designed to enhance the cycling experience.
Key Features:
Integrated Washing Machine and Pressure Washer: To address the challenges of cleaning gear and bicycles after off-road adventures, the Karoq Velo comes equipped with a built-in washing machine and pressure washer, ensuring both the rider and equipment can be refreshed on the go.
Advanced Bicycle Storage Solutions: The vehicle offers versatile storage options, including a conventional roof-mounted rack and an innovative boot-mounted system, allowing cyclists to transport their bikes securely and conveniently.
Enhanced Connectivity: Recognizing the importance of technology in modern cycling, the Karoq Velo features seamless smartphone integration, enabling riders to sync their devices with the car's infotainment system for route planning and performance tracking.
Flexible Interior Space: The VarioFlex seating system allows for the rear seats to be repositioned or removed entirely, providing ample space for bicycles and related gear without compromising passenger comfort.
While the ŠKODA Karoq Velo remains a concept vehicle, it showcases the potential for future automotive designs to integrate more closely with the lifestyles of cycling enthusiasts, offering practical solutions to common challenges faced by riders.
