The Elroq is basically an all-electric successor to Škoda’s existing Karoq, meaning it slots below the Enyaq and is around four and a half metres in length. That’s about the same as big sellers such as the Nissan Qashqai. It will also have to go head-to-head with Ford’s impressive new Explorer.
There will also be the Škoda Epiq, which will be a size smaller, replacing the Kamiq. You with me? They are two of six new electric Skodas due before 2026.
There’s 470 litres of space with the seats up and 1,580 litres when they are down. That beats the Ford Explorer’s 445 but is beaten by the Kia EV3’s 485.
There are some typical Skoda clever touches too, such as an optional storage net for a charging cable under the parcel shelf. It also has a QR code in the boot, which lead to interactive video instructions on how to use the adjustable parcel shelf or nets.
The Elroq uses the hardware from the same box of bits as most VW Group electric cars, although there are some interesting new options. You can choose power outputs from, 170 HP to 300 HP and rear or four-wheel drive. The The rear-wheel-drive Elroq 85 sounds like fun as it has a peak output of 285 HP. The Elroq 85x includes an additional electric motor on the front axle, offering all-wheel drive and 300 HP.
The entry-level Elroq 50 has a gross battery capacity of 55 kWh, the Elroq 60 has 63kWh battery, while the Elroq 85 and Elroq 85x variants use a 82kWh pack. The Elroq 85 has an electric range of more than 348 miles.
The Elroq 85 and Elroq 85x offer DC charging at up to 175 kW. The batteries of all four powertrain versions can be charged from 10% to 80% in under 28 minutes.
