AI generated from our expert reviews

If you need space for extra passengers, the longer Hyundai Santa Fe can be had with a third row of seats, which the Skoda Elroq cannot offer. In town, the Santa Fe does a great job of ironing out speed bumps and surface imperfections, whereas bigger speed bumps and potholes leave you rocking and jiggling a bit in the Elroq. At higher speeds on the motorway, both models suffer from very little wind noise. When the road starts to twist, neither car is particularly fun to drive because both have very remote-feeling steering, though neither suffers from much body lean through the corners.
