Compare the Ford Explorer vs Skoda Elroq
AI generated from our expert reviews
Both cars do well on faster journeys: if you do a lot of motorway miles, the Ford Explorer is very agreeable, while motorways are the Skoda Elroq’s forte, with ride quality that is better at high speed than in town. How they deal with bumps is where they part company. The Explorer’s suspension is pretty stiff and never really settles over potholes and speed humps. The Elroq takes the opposite approach, using soft suspension that dispatches most lumps and bumps comfortably, even if bigger speedbumps and potholes leave you rocking and jiggling about a bit. When you head onto winding roads, the Explorer is surprisingly capable on a twisty country lane, whereas twisty roads are not much fun in the Elroq because its steering feels very remote and its electronic safety systems are quite draconian.
