About Elroq
The Elroq is Skoda's bid to make electric cars normal. Revealed in 2024, it is a compact SUV on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform, sitting below the Enyaq and aimed at the heart of the European family market. It also introduced the brand's new design language, Modern Solid, with a black Tech-Deck face, simpler shapes and the Skoda name spelled out in place of the old winged-arrow badge. On the road it does the Skoda thing well: comfortable, quiet, roomy and full of practical ideas such as storage nets and a cable holder.
Multiple battery sizes and rear- or all-wheel drive give it a broad spread of price and range, and a sporty RS version sits at the top. Early reviewers liked its value, interior space and easy manners, and its sales got off to a strong start in Europe, helping Skoda become one of the continent's leading EV brands. Critics note that it is more competent than exciting, which for most family buyers is a compliment rather than a complaint.
Its competitors include the Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4, the Kia EV3, the Renault Scenic E-Tech, the Tesla Model Y and a growing army of Chinese rivals from BYD, MG and others. The story here also takes in the broader Skoda picture, because the Elroq sits in the middle of an expanding electric range: the small Epiq below, the larger Enyaq and Peaq above, all covered in reviews, sales charts and price news.
