Mladá Boleslav, 1 October 2024 – Curtains up for the first of its kind: the all-new Škoda Elroq is the Czech brand’s first all-electric model in the strategically important compact SUV category. At the same time, it is also the first model to adopt Škoda’s new Modern Solid design language, combining robustness, functionality and authenticity. The Elroq offers a comprehensive line-up of powertrain and battery options, with a maximum range of over 560 kilometres. Its extensive standard equipment includes a rear view camera, Crew Protect Assist, Side Assist, 13-inch infotainment and SmartLink. This combination makes the Elroq the most affordable electric vehicle in its segment in the European market, with a starting price of around 33,000 euros before any state subsidies. As a result, Škoda also achieves list price parity between the all-new Elroq and its Karoq ICE counterpart in many markets. The SUV will be available to configure from tomorrow, 2 October, including a limited First Edition, available on European markets from the first quarter of 2025.

“The Škoda Elroq is our first BEV model in the compact SUV class, the fastest‑growing and most popular sub‑segment in Europe. The Elroq stands out as our first model to adopt the Modern Solid design language, defined by robustness, functionality and new visual accents such as the black Tech Deck Face. A wide choice of battery sizes and an excellent drag coefficient enable a range of more than 560 kilometres. The standard equipment package is extensive, including multiple state‑of‑the-art assistance systems. At a very competitive starting price of around 33,000 euros in selected European markets, the Elroq is the most affordable vehicle in its segment across Europe, achieving price parity with its ICE counterpart in many markets.”

Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto

“The Škoda Elroq delivers an attractive price-value proposition at the right time, as it offers many interested car buyers an easier and more affordable way to drive electric. Its appealing overall package, combined with a spacious, comfortable, and highly functional interior, as well as outstanding handling characteristics, makes it the ideal companion for many customer groups - from families to corporate clients. We are confident that the latter, in particular, will appreciate its expected high residual value. We will be offering flexible financing options and attractive leasing rates, paired with special service packages and car insurance conditions.”

Martin Jahn, Škoda Auto Board Member for Sales and Marketing

The all-new Elroq is the latest addition to Škoda’s growing electric portfolio, which will include various new models over the coming years. The compact SUV is the electric alternative to the Karoq and offers list price parity with its ICE counterpart in many markets. It is perfectly equipped for both urban and suburban environments and outdoor adventures off the beaten track, thanks to its compact dimensions, spacious interior and superb driving characteristics. The all-wheel drive version will become available in 2025.

The exterior of the Elroq is defined by a distinctive shape and clean lines, making it the first Škoda model to adopt the new Modern Solid design language. Looking at traditional Škoda design elements from an entirely new perspective, the glossy black Tech-Deck Face replaces the typical Škoda grille, while still referencing familiar Škoda lines. The new front is also characterised by a robust front bumper with a Unique Dark Chrome insert, while the hallmark Škoda SUV “four eyes” headlights graphic has been completely reinterpreted. The Elroq is also the first model to feature the Škoda lettering on both the bonnet and steering wheel. The Elroq features an exceptionally aerodynamic body, boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.26. This is achieved through a range of innovative design elements, enabling a top speed of 180 km/h.

The Škoda Elroq is available with three different battery sizes and powertrains. Outputs start at 125 kW for the entry-level Elroq 50 model. The Elroq 85x features an additional motor on the front axle for all-wheel drive. The Elroq 85 can achieve a maximum range of more than 560 kilometres on the WLTP cycle. Charging rates of up to 175 kW at DC fast-charging stations enable the 82 kWh battery of the Elroq 85x and the rear-wheel-drive Elroq 85 to recharge from 10 to 80 per cent in 28 minutes. The smaller batteries of the rear wheel-drive Elroq 50 and Elroq 60 can be charged even more quickly, in 25 minutes or less. The increased efficiency and charging speed as well as an optimised preheating feature take the customer experience to a new level.

The Elroq provides a generous amount of interior space. This includes the largest boot in its segment with 470 litres of luggage capacity (up to 1,580 litres with the rear seats folded down). A 13" infotainment screen with an even more intuitive user interface comes as standard. The Design Selections use numerous innovative sustainable interior materials. There are also new Simply Clever features, among them clever compartments offering 48 litres of storage capacity and a storage net for the charging cable under the parcel shelf. A wide range of intuitive connectivity features, advanced assistance systems and up to nine airbags ensure superior driving comfort and the highest level of active and passive safety.
