Prepare for the future! Škoda Elroq 2025 is not only a new compact SUV, but a pioneer in its class. For around 33,000 euros, it brings more than just elegance: comfort, space and more than 560 kilometers of range. But this is just the beginning!
It's a shame with the launch of the model Skoda Elroq 2025 set a new milestone in the electric vehicle (EV) segment. It is their first fully electric compact SUV, which convinces customers all over Europe with its striking design, powerful batteries and numerous technological innovations. Model Elroq was designed for those who want to combine eco-consciousness with exceptional utility and a great driving experience without having to shell out a fortune. With its starting price of around 33,000 euros is positioned as the most affordable EV in its class.
First impressions: Design that impresses (and some dilemmas)
Škoda Elroq 2025 is the first Škoda model that follows the new "Modern Solid" design philosophy, which means a solid but aesthetically perfect appearance. The front part of the car with the characteristic "Tech-Deck Face" mask brings a fresh look that will surely impress fans of futuristic designs. However, what confuses us about the design is the excessive use of horizontal lines, which give the impression that the designers could not resist the urge to fill the surfaces. The rear part of the vehicle, which could have upgraded the recognizable front part, unfortunately remained unimaginative. While the front part suggests the future, the rear does not bring design excesses and seems a bit outdated.
In the future, it is expected that the need for more aerodynamic and semi-smooth bodies, such as station wagons and sedans, will be more pronounced, as they will enable greater energy efficiency. The Elroq lags behind the trends in this respect, as it remains trapped in a more classic SUV form, which may not be optimal for electric mobility in the long term.
Electric drives and capabilities
The Škoda Elroq offers a choice of three different batteries, allowing flexibility in terms of range and power. The base model Elroq 50 packs a punch 125 kW (170 hp), while the more powerful Elroq 85 model boasts a car 210 kW (285 hp) and four-wheel drive. The most powerful version with an 82 kWh battery offers a range of more than 560 kilometers (348 miles) according to the WLTP standard, which puts it at the very top in its segment.
Charging is no longer a nightmare - with the fast charging option of up to 175 kW, you can charge the battery from 10 % to 80 % in just 28 minutes. For those who value speed even when charging, the Elroq is an excellent companion. The smaller batteries with the Elroq 50 and 60 models are even faster, charging in less than 25 minutes.
Acceleration of the base model Elroq 50 with a power of 125 kW (170 hp) enables acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in about 8 seconds, which is quite satisfactory for a compact SUV. With the more powerful Elroq 85x version, which develops up to 210 kW (285 hp) and has four-wheel drive, this time is even better, as this model can reach 100 km/h in less than 6 seconds.
When we talk about final speed, the Elroq reaches a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), which is more than enough to drive on European highways. Despite the fact that electric vehicles are usually not focused on high speeds, the Škoda Elroq offers just the right combination of acceleration and maximum speed for comfortable and dynamic driving in urban and suburban environments.
Spaciousness and comfort: A vehicle for all occasions
The Elroq boasts not only stylish design and performance, but also practicality. The spaciousness is impressive for a compact SUV, as it offers 470 liters of luggage space, which increases to as much as 1,580 liters with the seats folded down. This puts it at the top of its segment in terms of space utilization. Ideal for families and anyone who needs extra space for their adventures.
The interior of the Elroq is designed in the spirit of sustainability, as it uses many recycled materials, which coincides with the trend of sustainable mobility. The new Skoda's "Simply Clever" functionality is reflected in a number of innovative storage solutions, including 48 liters of additional space for small items and a storage net for the charging cable.
Advanced technology and security
Elroq does not lag behind in the field of technology. With a standard 13-inch (33 cm) infotainment unit and an intuitive user interface, connectivity with mobile devices is simple and fast. In addition, it provides advanced security systems, among which they stand out Crew Protect Assist, Side Assist and a reversing camera.
For fans of technological innovations, Škoda has added a remote control function for the air conditioning system, which allows you to cool or heat the vehicle even before you get into it - extremely convenient in extreme weather conditions.
Conclusion: Škoda Elroq brings the future today
The Škoda Elroq is more than just an electric car – it is a turning point in how we perceive electric mobility in the future. With its affordable price, advanced technology, superior range and spacious interior, it sets new standards in the compact SUV segment. Despite certain design flaws, such as the excessive use of horizontal lines and the lack of innovation at the rear, the Elroq is a solid player in the EV market.
For anyone who wants to step into the world of electric vehicles without compromising on comfort, design and price, the Elroq is undoubtedly one of the best choices.
