Skoda Elroq review: an affordable EV you'd actually want to buy?

Uploaded 4 months ago by Auto Express

Video Summary

- The Enyaq is a smallest EV in Skoda's lineup.
- It has Skoda’s new solid design language and looks smart, but not as daring as the rivals Kia EV3.
- There are 4 trim levels: SE, SEL, Edition, and SportLine.
- There are three powertrain options: 52kWh with 230 miles range, 59 kWh with 250 miles range, and 77kWh with 360 miles range.
- The el-Rocq starts at around £30,000, with top models reaching £42,000.
- LED running lights run into the center on the new tech deck front end, and is segmented on top-spec models.
- The front end has a silver skid plate looking piece, but it has no off-roading benefits.
- Interior is similar to the bigger Enyaq with a two-step dash.
- The dash is all fabric, with a metallic grey design. The only scratchy piano black plastic is on the steering wheel.
- Its steering wheel has only two spokes.
- Digital dials are not that configurable.
- The infotainment system is very quick to respond, and it can configure widgets.
- Touch-sensitive volume slider and climate controls should be dials.
- Under the center you get a spot to put your phone and it has wireless charging.
- Felt-lined door pockets feel porche, but it has really cheap feeling door handles.
- Rear has lots of knee and headroom. You get same fabric on doors as in front. It also features a fold down arm rest. It has only two isofix points in the back.
- Its trunk has a lot of space at 470L, but it does not feature a frunk.
- It is comfortable and easy to drive. Has same turning circle as a Mini Cooper.
- It has an average real-world range of around 200 miles, with 3.5 miles per kilowatt.
- All models can be charged from 10-80% in 25 minutes and you can get faster charging speeds as you go up in the range.
- The reviewer recommends the Skoda el-Rocq, calling it similar to a “Gregs Sausage Roll, which is comfortable, affordable, and desirable.”
