Škoda Expands its Electric Line-Up with the New All-Electric Elroq<br><br>Škoda is set to broaden its electric vehicle offerings with the launch of the new fully electric compact SUV, the Elroq, which slots in just below the larger Enyaq in the brand's line-up. This makes the Elroq the second fully electric model in Škoda’s portfolio, built on the same Volkswagen Group MEB platform that underpins the Enyaq.<br><br>What’s New with the Elroq?<br><br>The Elroq aims to deliver much of what drivers love about the Enyaq but in a more compact and affordable package. It also debuts Škoda’s new “Modern Solid” design language, giving it a sharper and more contemporary look. Distinctive design elements include a redesigned front grille and crisper lines, making the Elroq stand out visually from its bigger sibling.<br><br>Battery Options and Range<br><br>The entry-level version of the Elroq is equipped with a 55kWh (52kWh net) battery, offering an estimated range of around 370 km (230 miles) on the WLTP cycle. For those needing a bit more, higher-spec models come with a larger 63kWh (59kWh net) battery that pushes the range up to 400 km (250 miles). The largest battery available is the 82kWh (77kWh net) pack, providing a range of up to 580 km (360 miles) on a full charge — ideal for longer journeys and comfortable highway cruising.<br><br>Škoda Elroq: Who Is It For?<br><br>The Elroq enters one of the most competitive segments in the EV market, offering a compact electric SUV that balances practicality with a more accessible price point. Positioned below the Enyaq in terms of size and power, it’s a solid choice for those looking for a city-friendly electric SUV that can also handle the occasional long-distance trip without breaking the bank.<br><br>Škoda is expected to open the order books for the Elroq in mid-October, giving customers a chance to explore this new addition and see how it fits into their driving needs. With its attractive blend of range options and Škoda’s signature value-for-money, the Elroq is set to be an appealing new contender in the electric SUV market.
