If you are deciding between the Hyundai Kona Electric and the Skoda Elroq, both provide quiet motorway cruising with little wind noise, though neither is much fun to hustle down a twisty road. The Skoda keeps body lean remarkably well controlled around bends, whereas the Hyundai leans over a bit when you turn. Both cabins have some cheap, scratchy plastics tucked away inside, but each provides a relaxed driving environment. When practicality is the priority, the Skoda Elroq has the edge with more overall luggage room once you fold the back seats down, and it can also tow a heavier trailer than the Hyundai Kona Electric.
