Carwow’s own expert rating out of 10 - how our reviewers rate this car overall for value, comfort, kit and driving experience
9/10
AI generated from our expert reviews
If you are deciding between these two electric family SUVs, both provide plenty of reassurance when parking thanks to standard front and rear parking sensors alongside a reversing camera. Out on winding roads, both the Volkswagen ID.4 and the Skoda Elroq keep body lean nicely contained, though neither manages to deliver an entertaining drive. Inside, each car suffers from some scratchy, cheap-feeling plastics lower down. For practical duties, the Volkswagen ID.4 pulls ahead: it charges faster, provides a larger boot for everyday luggage and opens up more space overall when you fold the rear seats flat.
