AI generated from our expert reviews

The Skoda Elroq is longer and more powerful than the Renault 4 E-Tech, charges faster, and can tow heavier loads. It also has a larger boot and gives you more space when you fold the rear seats flat. For passenger room, two six-foot adults have plenty of room to stretch out in the back of the Elroq, even if they cannot slide their feet beneath the front seat, while adults in the rear of the Renault 4 will probably start feeling cramped on longer journeys. If you enjoy driving on winding country roads, neither car is particularly fun, though both do well to keep body lean in check around bends.
