SKODA ELROQ VS KIA EV3 | FIRST UK TWIN TEST | WHICH ELECTRIC SUV IS THE CHAMPION?

EV Channels Review

In this head-to-head comparison, the Skoda Elroq and Kia EV3 are put to the test, with the Kia EV3 ultimately retaining its crown as the preferred electric SUV. While the Elroq impresses with its spacious rear seating, comfortable ride, and a more traditional, sensible interior design that might appeal to a wider audience, it falters in areas like cheap interior door handles and a less refined feel compared to the EV3. The reviewer highlights the Elroq's excellent turning circle and physical buttons as positives. However, the EV3 is praised for its brighter, more open interior, superior regenerative braking with adjustable levels for one-pedal driving, and a more modern, slightly curved infotainment screen. Despite the Elroq's slightly larger boot capacity on paper, the EV3 is perceived as more usable. The Kia's longer warranty and perceived refinement, especially with its 19-inch wheels compared to the Elroq's 20-inch, give it the edge. The reviewer concludes that while the Elroq is a safe and sensible choice, the EV3 offers a more quirky, futuristic, and ultimately more compelling package.
