FIRST-EVER SKODA ELROQ PREMIERE REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Skoda Elroq marks Skoda's entry into the compact electric SUV segment, positioned as the electric counterpart to the Karoq. The review highlights its new, bolder design language, which will influence future Skoda models. Key features include optional Matrix LED headlights, a choice of battery sizes (52, 59, and 77 kWh net), and drivetrain options ranging from RWD (50, 60, 85 models) to AWD (85x model with ~300 hp). The interior offers a choice of design selections, emphasizing recycled materials in some trims. While the reviewer praises the solid build quality, comfortable seating, and spaciousness for its class, they note the absence of a frunk and the infotainment system's reliance on touch controls, preferring physical dials. Real-world range figures are not detailed, but charging times are provided (24-28 minutes for 10-80% on DC). The Elroq starts around €34,000, with higher-spec AWD versions potentially reaching €50-55,000.
