AI generated from our expert reviews

Both the Skoda Elroq and the Tesla Model 3 provide you with a great driving position. On twisty roads, the Model 3 is great to drive, with responsive steering that makes it feel like a sports car. In contrast, twisty roads are not much fun in the Elroq, where the steering feels very remote. In terms of dimensions and capacity, the longer Model 3 is more efficient than the Elroq and has a bigger boot, but the Elroq has more room with the back seats folded.
