ŠKODA ELROQ - STRAIGHT TO THE TOP OF THE CLASS?

EV Channels Review

The Škoda Elroq emerges as a strong contender in the B-segment electric SUV market, praised for its sensible approach and mature driving dynamics. The reviewer highlights Škoda's position as the 'thinking person's choice' within the Volkswagen Group, offering a blend of practicality, quality, and value. Key strengths include a spacious and exceptionally well-built interior, featuring high-quality materials that rival more expensive vehicles, and a user-friendly infotainment system with physical buttons. The practicality is further enhanced by a generous boot space and clever storage solutions. On the road, the Elroq impresses with its refined, grown-up feel, comfortable ride (though subject to UK road conditions), and tidy handling, making it feel like a larger, more substantial car. Performance is adequate, with the reviewer suggesting the mid-range '60' model might be the sweet spot. Downsides are minimal, including the lack of a front storage compartment and a slight wind noise at higher speeds. The reviewer concludes that the Elroq is a "great little car" and a "winner from Škoda," offering a compelling alternative to rivals like the Kia EV3 and Volvo EX30.
