AI generated from our expert reviews

The Skoda Elroq provides a larger boot than the OMODA 5, and when you need to transport taller items, its parcel shelf can be stored flat against the rear seatbacks, whereas the Omoda leaves you with nowhere inside the car to keep it. In the back, two six-foot adults have plenty of space to stretch out in the Elroq, although you cannot slide your feet under the front seats; by contrast, sitting behind a six-foot driver in the Omoda leaves you with limited legroom. When managing active safety features on the move, the Elroq allows you to toggle systems easily with a dashboard shortcut button, while the Omoda requires you to search through a fiddly menu. Out on twisty roads, neither model is particularly fun to drive, as both the Omoda and the Elroq suffer from steering that feels very remote.
