The 2026 Karoq diesel automatic is typically fitted with a Volkswagen‑group turbo diesel and a 7‑speed DSG automatic; it uses a DPF and AdBlue dosing system so it prefers longer runs to avoid DPF clogging. DSG gearboxes need periodic fluid/software attention and higher‑spec models can have optional AWD (adds diff/transfer servicing). As a new car, confirm the dealer completed the pre‑delivery checks and registered the vehicle with the manufacturer so the full warranty and service plan apply.

• DSG maintenance: confirm dealer performed the PDI and applied any software updates; ask when the first DSG oil/service interval is expected (DSG oil changes are typically scheduled every ~60k km on VW‑group units).
• DPF & AdBlue: verify AdBlue filler access and cap, check the instrument cluster for any DPF/AdBlue warnings and ask how the car was used (short demo runs can trigger early regen issues).
• Tyres and spare: check tyre DOT dates, correct OEM tyre size and condition (stock cars can sit on older tyres); confirm whether a space‑saver or repair kit is fitted.
• Optional AWD / towing kit: if you need 4x4 or towing, verify the car actually has the Haldex/4x4 hardware and that any towbar and electrics are dealer‑fitted and covered by warranty.
