Toyota Hilux 2020 vs Skoda Karoq 2017
| Gearbox: | Automatic | Automatic | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Engine: | 2.8 Diesel | 1.5 Petrol | |
| Diesel (Toyota Hilux) engines typically outperform gasoline engines in terms of fuel efficiency and low-end torque. This makes them more economical and better suited for towing or long-distance travel. However, gasoline (Skoda Karoq) engines mostly are lighter, quieter, and offer better acceleration and responsiveness, especially in smaller vehicles. For more information, see the article "Diesel or Petrol: Fuel Economy and Key Differences." | |||
| Camshaft drive: | Timing chain | Timing belt | |
| Engine chain usually needs to be replaced less often than the timing belt, but the cost of replacing the chain is usually higher. Chain motors are considered to be more reliable, but noisier and more vibration generating. | |||
Performance | |||
| Power: | 204 HP | 150 HP | |
| Torque: | 500 NM | 250 NM | |
| Acceleration 0-100 km/h: | 10.7 seconds | 8.6 seconds | |
| Toyota Hilux engine produces 54 HP more power than Skoda Karoq, whereas torque is 250 NM more than Skoda Karoq. Despite the higher power, Toyota Hilux reaches 100 km/h speed 2.1 seconds later. | |||
Fuel consumption | |||
| Fuel consumption (l/100km): | no data | 5.5 | |
| Fuel tank capacity: | 80 litres | 50 litres | |
| 780 km with real consumption | 690 km with real consumption | ||
| Read the article "Fuel Efficiency: How to Reduce Fuel Consumption" to learn more about fuel economy. | |||
Drive type | |||
| Wheel drive type: | All wheel drive (AWD, 4x4) | Front wheel drive (FWD) | |
| Ground clearance: | 293 mm (11.5 inches) | 176 mm (6.9 inches) | |
| Because of the higher ground clearance, Toyota Hilux can perform better on bad roads - it can go over higher obstacles and bumps. At the same time, the higher ground clearance can reduce stability and handling on paved roads, especially at higher speeds. | |||
Engines | |||
| Average engine lifespan: | 350'000 km | 330'000 km | |
| Engine resource depends largely on regular maintenance and the quality of the oils and fuels used. | |||
| Engine production duration: | 10 years | 8 years | |
| Engine spread: | Used also on Toyota Land Cruiser | Installed on at least 8 other car models, including Skoda Octavia, Audi A3, Skoda Superb, Skoda Scala, Audi A1, Audi Q3 | |
| In general, the longer and for more car models an engine is produced, the better its serviceability and availability of spare parts. Skoda Karoq might be a better choice in this respect. | |||
