Elroq, the new Skoda ready to conquer the electric compact SUV segment

As a result, Skoda also achieves price parity between the new Elroq and its combustion engine equivalent Karoq in many markets. The SUV is now available in configurations including a limited First Edition, available in European markets from the first quarter of 2025. This includes a light strip that visually connects the headlights, as well as the roof and A-pillar painted black. An all-wheel drive version will also be available in 2025.

In detail, the Elroq’s exterior features a distinctive shape and clean lines, making it the first Skoda model to adopt the new Modern Solid design language. Taking traditional Skoda design elements from a completely new perspective, the high-gloss black Tech-Deck Face replaces the typical Skoda grille while maintaining a nod to familiar Skoda lines. The new front end also features a robust front bumper with a Unique Dark Chrome insert, while the signature Skoda SUV ‘four eyes’ headlight pattern has been completely rethought.

The Elroq is also the first model to feature the Skoda lettering on the bonnet and steering wheel. The Elroq has an extremely aerodynamic body with a drag coefficient of just 0.26. This is achieved through a number of innovative design elements that allow it to reach a top speed of 180 km/h.

The Skoda Elroq is available with three different battery sizes and powertrains. The power of the basic Elroq 50 model is 125 kW. The Elroq 85x is equipped with an additional motor on the front axle for all-wheel drive. The Elroq 85 can achieve a maximum range of more than 560 kilometers on the WLTP cycle. Charging rates of up to 175 kW at DC fast charging stations allow the 82 kWh battery of the Elroq 85x and the rear-wheel drive Elroq 85 to charge from 10% to 80% in 28 minutes. The smaller batteries in the rear-wheel drive Elroq 50 and Elroq 60 models can charge even faster in 25 minutes or less. Increased charging efficiency and speed, as well as an optimized preheat function, take the customer experience to the next level.

Elroq offers spacious interior space. It includes the largest trunk in its segment with a capacity of 470 liters (up to 1,580 liters with the rear seats folded down). It comes standard with a 13-inch infotainment screen with an even more intuitive user interface. Design Selections uses a variety of innovative and environmentally friendly materials in its interiors.

There are also new Simply Clever features, including clever 48-litre storage compartments and a charging cable storage grid under the rear tray. A wide range of intuitive connectivity functions, advanced assistance systems and up to nine airbags guarantee excellent driving comfort and the highest levels of active and passive safety.

Don’t forget that the Sportline variants are a traditional and integral part of the Skoda range. Following in the footsteps of the Enyaq Sportline, the Czech brand’s second all-electric SUV will now also be available in a more dynamic version with sharper looks and driving dynamics. The 85 variant comes as standard with a sports suspension with specially tuned springs and dampers, which is lowered by 15 millimeters at the front and 10 millimeters at the rear. In addition, the progressive steering system ensures a sportier driving experience. 20-inch Asterion alloy wheels with a black metallic finish are standard. The Skoda Elroq Sportline will be available with 50, 60 and 85 engines.
