Video Summary
Here's a summary of the key review points:The Škoda Elroq RS features Škoda's new “Modern solid” design language with a “Tech Deck” front. It comes in a limited graphite grey paint color, with black lettering. The exterior has aggressive styling elements, such as black accents and a more aggressive front end, and rides on 21-inch wheels with lime-green details. Proper mechanical door handles are a plus.
The car lacks a front trunk but has a 470-liter trunk spacious enough for three carry-on suitcases with possible additional room. Interior space in the front and rear is on par with the larger Enyaq.
The interior features the RS treatment and is highly rated. All glossy black plastics from the center console and doors are removed with a carbon fiber-style trim instead.
This version has dual electric motors producing 340 horsepower, an acceleration of 0-100 km/h at 5.4 seconds. A slightly disappointing feature is the top speed of 180 km/h.
The steering is precise, weighted perfectly, with good tip-in acceleration and the adaptive dampers deliver a smooth and refined ride. As a summary, a good and smooth product for European cities, although some say has small volume-cup holders. Also, the car has several driver aids that are simple to turn off on the touchscreen.
At an estimated starting price of 52.999 EUR, it's competitive with the value and good handling with quality European engineering makes it a favorite in the mid-sized electric car segment.
