Both the Kia EV3 and the Skoda Elroq have interiors that feel cheap in places, and neither cabin is really wide enough to squeeze three adults in for long periods. Out on the motorway, you get a distinct lack of wind noise in the Elroq, whereas cruising in the EV3 brings a little more wind noise, though it is not obtrusive. Looking ahead, the Kia gives you a driver's screen that is big and clear, while the Skoda's display is not as clear to read. Neither car is much fun on a twisty road, but with good visibility, both are easy to park.
