2025 Auto ExpressMid-size SUV of the Year and overall Car of the Year
The ŠKODA Elroq is one of the most compelling electric SUVs in its class. Slotting beneath the larger Enyaq, it offers impressive practicality, premium comfort and excellent value for money. Designed as the EV counterpart to the popular Karoq, it’s a confident step forward for the brand. Behind the wheel, it feels just as refined and capable on British roads, with smooth performance and a high-quality cabin throughout. Well built, stylish and thoughtfully engineered, the Elroq is ideal if you want electric versatility without needing a full-size SUV. Indeed, it’s a standout addition to the ŠKODA range.
The Elroq makes an immediate impression with its sharply defined lines, muscular proportions and strong stance. It features ŠKODA’s new Modern Solid design language, including a sculpted bonnet, LED headlights and – with the vRS trim – an illuminated Tech-Deck Face front grille. A sleek side profile leads to an aerodynamically optimised rear, while flush door handles and unique alloy wheels enhance both looks and performance. Inside, the cabin is spacious, minimal and intuitively designed; expect soft-touch materials, ambient lighting and a digital-first approach with a focus on practicality. Sustainable finishes and clever storage add to its modern appeal. Whether parked in your driveway or moving through the city, the Elroq is practical and attractive in equal measure.
PERFORMANCE
The ŠKODA Elroq delivers an agile, refined drive with the instant torque and smooth acceleration only an electric SUV can offer. With multiple powertrain options, including outputs up to 335 bhp and a maximum 339-mile range, it caters to a wide range of driving styles. Whether navigating city streets or exploring country roads, it feels responsive and composed. Advanced suspension and low centre of gravity enhance ride comfort and control; regenerative braking helps extend range, while rapid charging minimises time spent off the road. The Elroq is built to perform in real life, offering confident handling and impressive efficiency mile after mile.
TECHNOLOGY and SAFETY
The pure-electric Elroq places technology at the heart of every journey. A large digital display with intuitive controls ensures easy access to navigation, media and car functions. Over-the-air updates keep systems current, while smart software enables seamless smartphone integration. Blind-spot Detection, Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Sign Recognition, rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera come as standard, supported by advanced driver assistance systems. Optional features include a head-up display, 360-degree camera and Emergency Assist. The Elroq’s electric architecture enables real-time hazard monitoring and pre-emptive braking. ŠKODA’s latest infotainment platform also supports personalisation, allowing multiple driver profiles to be stored. With up to nine airbags and a high-strength body structure, the Elroq is designed to protect you and your passengers. Whether driving in town or cruising through Shropshire, it offers peace of mind at every turn.
