ŠKODA ELROQ VRS - IS THIS PEAK ELROQ?

EV Channels Review

The Škoda Elroq vRS is presented as the pinnacle of the Elroq range, boasting dual-motor all-wheel-drive and a potent 340 PS output, making it the fastest accelerating vRS model to date. The reviewer highlights its impressive practicality, premium interior quality, and comfortable, refined ride, even on larger 21-inch wheels. However, the core criticism revolves around its lack of genuine excitement and driver engagement, which is expected from a vRS performance badge. Despite its speed and excellent dynamics, it doesn't offer a significantly different or more thrilling experience compared to lower trims of the standard Elroq. The reviewer questions the substantial price premium for the performance gains, suggesting that while it's a very competent and sensible car, it lacks the 'sparkle' and 'naughtiness' found in some rivals. It's deemed a good car, but not necessarily a compelling upgrade over other Elroq variants for those seeking a true driver's performance EV crossover.
