The company has already revealed a slew of details on the Karoq. The SUV will arrive as a Completely Built-up Unit (CBU) and is expected to be priced starting from 22 lakh mark (ex-showroom, India). It will be imported to the Indian market under the Government's latest rule in which automakers are allowed to import up to 2,500 units in a year without the need of homologation. This also hints that the SUV will be available in limited number and there is a possibility that only the top-spec variants will be introduced, just like the VW T-Roc.
