SKODA ELROQ - BABY ENYAQ WITH A NEW LOOK

EV Channels Review

The Skoda Elroq, presented as a "baby Enyaq," impresses with its new "Solid" design language, which the reviewer finds fresh, modern, and a strong indicator of Skoda's future aesthetic. While not excelling in any single area, the Elroq is praised for doing "everything right," making it a compelling package for the typical Skoda buyer. The interior is highlighted for its excellent ergonomics, familiar Skoda group components, and practical physical controls, avoiding excessive "piano black" or shiny plastic. The Sportline trim, tested with the 50 kWh battery and 170 hp powertrain, is deemed adequate for daily driving, though not exciting. The suspension is noted as working hard on challenging roads, suggesting the optional DCC might be beneficial for heavier configurations. Rear passenger space is exceptional, nearly matching the Enyaq due to the shared wheelbase, with only a slight reduction in boot capacity. The reviewer concludes that the Elroq offers 98% of the Enyaq's capabilities in a more stylish, compact package, making it a strong and practical proposition poised to be a significant hit for Skoda.
