AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Ford Kuga and the Skoda Elroq offer plenty of adjustment for the steering wheel and the driver's seat, making it straightforward to settle in. Step inside either model and you will also find cheaper plastics situated lower down in the interior. When it comes to everyday practical requirements, the Kuga provides a larger boot than the Elroq. Out on winding country roads, however, their characters diverge. The Kuga gives you minimal body lean and a surprising amount of steering feel that inspires confidence in the bends. In contrast, the Elroq is far from sporty on twisty tarmac, with very light steering that is devoid of feedback and a noticeable jiggle over mid-corner bumps.
