FIRST DRIVE: SKODA ELROQ VRS - A RALLY CAR FOR THE ROAD?

EV Channels Review

The Skoda Elroq vRS is presented as a more engaging and performance-oriented version of the already well-regarded Elroq. The reviewer highlights its impressive acceleration, comparing it favorably to a rally car, and praises the dynamic chassis control that allows for significant personalization, from comfort to full sport mode. The interior is lauded for its quality materials, comfortable micro-suede seats (even with a massage function), and impressive infotainment screens. Practicality remains a strong suit, with ample boot space and rear passenger room. However, the reviewer notes the absence of a panoramic roof and the relatively high price point of £46,560 as potential drawbacks, especially when compared to slightly less powerful or more budget-friendly alternatives like the standard Sportline or the MG4 XPower. Despite the cost, the Elroq vRS is deemed a "sleeper car" with a focus on driving dynamics and interior refinement, making it a compelling option for those seeking a practical yet fun electric SUV.
