Car changing is a big deal
This is the new Skoda Elroq, a mid-sized electric SUV which will sit below the Enyaq when it’s revealed in the coming weeks.
- New Skoda Elroq design sketches revealed
- Karoq-sized electric SUV
- Similar design to the Enyaq
- 300hp and all-wheel drive will be available
- Up to 350 miles of range
- Full reveal slated for the autumn
The new Skoda Elroq is due to be revealed within the next few weeks, and some sketches have been revealed which preview this car’s design.
It’ll serve as an alternative to cars like the Peugeot E-3008 and Hyundai Kona Electric, and it offers up to 350 miles of range.
New Skoda Elroq design
Skoda has been teasing the new Elroq’s design for a few months now, and these images are the most revealing yet.
The Elroq will be the first model from Skoda to use the new “Tech-Deck Face” design, which essentially replaces the traditional Skoda grille with a wide, thin trim strip across the bonnet. It also features a split headlight design, a bit like a modernised version of the Karoq’s lamps.
From the side it looks a bit like an Enyaq with a slice cut out of the middle. It has a very similar roofline to that car, with a neatly integrated boot spoiler making it look a bit more sporty.
Don’t expect the production model to have wheels this huge when it hits the streets, however the rear tail light design looks pretty production-ready. The slim LEDs are very similar to the Enyaq’s, as is the spelled-out boot badge.
New Skoda Elroq motors and batteries
The new Skoda Elroq will be available with four different motor options, a lot of which are borrowed from the larger Enyaq. There are three rear-wheel drive models – one with 170hp, one with 204hp and a 285hp version. You’ll also be able to go for a 300hp all-wheel drive variant.
You also have three battery sizes on offer. The 170hp car uses a 52kWh pack, while the 204hp car has 59kWh. The two most powerful models use a 77kWh battery. Skoda hasn’t broken down the specific ranges for each car, but it has said that the Elroq will have up to 350 miles of range.
That’s exactly the same as the Enyaq can manage, and it’s 30 miles more than the Hyundai Kona Electric. You can charge the Elroq at up to 175kW at a DC fast charger, giving you 10-80% in 28 minutes.
New Skoda Elroq price and UK release date
The new Skoda Elroq will be revealed in the autumn this year, with order books opening in 2025. There’s no word on price yet, however a figure of around £35,000 seems likely as this would place it below the Enyaq in Skoda’s range.
