## Final Comments:

While the 2024 Skoda Karoq awaits new safety ratings, its previous performance suggests a strong foundation in safety. The unrated status for new models doesn't necessarily indicate a decrease in safety, but rather a need for updated testing under potentially revised protocols.

## Ending Statement:

Potential buyers of the 2024 Skoda Karoq should note its current unrated status and consider the strong safety performance of previous models. As ANCAP continues to update its ratings, new information may become available to guide purchasing decisions.
