Video Summary
Here is the summary:The Skoda Elroq is an all-electric SUV, and it's a successor to Skoda’s existing Karoq. It slots between the Enyaq in size, and is around 4.5 meters in length, similar to a Nissan Qashqai. It will compete with Ford's Explorer. A smaller Skoda Epiq will replace the Kamiq. These are two of six new electric Skodas before 2026.
The Elroq is the first car to feature Skoda's new “Modern Solid” look. Sharp curves give it style, and it’s distinctive. It has presence without being too outrageous. The traditional grille has been replaced with a “tech deck face,” which hides electronic sensors. There is no Skoda badge, but the name Skoda is spelled out in lettering. The shape of the car and smoother wheel design help with aerodynamics. The LED headlights have a slim upper strip for sidelights, indicators and daytime running lights, and two LED modules for the low beam and high beam. The rear spoiler looks sporty and helps with aerodynamics.
The boot has 470 liters of luggage capacity, expanding to 1,580 liters. There are clever storage options, including a net under the parcel shelf for the charging cable. The parcel shelf is adjustable. All models come with two gifts: an ice scraper and an umbrella. The interior has a perforated steering wheel and a 5-inch digital cockpit. An optional head-up display with augmented reality visualizations shows directions. The 13-inch central display infotainment system is better than most VW group systems because of the buttons. Physical buttons are included for the traditionalists. The Elroq has multiple storage options, including a triple stack. You can create a little area in the boot to hold bags in place. In the rear, there is plenty of space and leg support.
You can choose a variety of power outputs, from 170 horsepower to 300 horsepower, and rear or four-wheel drive. The most efficient has a range of more than 348 miles and a charging time below 28 minutes. The prototype drove around Amsterdam and the throttle felt too keen. The ride is cosseting, even on the big 20-inch wheels, and it glides over potholes, although the suspension can result in body roll. Good visibility is provided by big mirrors. The Elroq ranges from 31,500 to 40,000 pounds. Overall it has a good look, gets everything right in most areas, but isn't the most exciting or out-there car.
