AI generated from our expert reviews

The Kia PV5 Passenger can have a third row of seats, whereas the Skoda Elroq cannot. The Skoda is both more powerful and more efficient than the Kia. Out on the motorway, the PV5 Passenger is not especially quick at getting up to speed and has quite a lot of wind noise. By contrast, even the entry-level Elroq has strong acceleration that makes getting up to cruising speed a doddle, alongside a distinct lack of wind noise. When heading onto twisty roads, neither car is much fun, with both having very remote steering. In the back of either model, you cannot stretch your feet out underneath the seat in front.
