Skoda has fully revealed its first all-electric SUV, the Elroq. This small SUV is also the first model to adopt Skoda’s new 'Modern Solid' design language, and will offer several powertrain and battery options, with a maximum range of over 560 kilometres.
Its extensive standard equipment includes a rear-view camera, Crew Protect Assist, Side Assist, 13-inch infotainment and SmartLink. With a starting price of €36,545 (including rebates and delivery charges ), the new Elroq is cheaper than the similarly sized Skoda Karoq ICE.
The new Elroq is now available to order from Skoda dealers, with expected delivery for early orders next April.
John Donegan, Skoda Ireland Brand Director, said the Elroq represents a significant breakthrough in the Irish BEV market: "Until now, Irish customers have predominantly been limited to larger, more expensive BEV SUV options, with electric models typically priced higher than their ICE counterparts. That dynamic is finally starting to change."
The Skoda Elroq will be available with three different battery sizes and powertrains. Outputs start at 125 kW for the entry-level Elroq 50 model from €36,545 with a WLTP range of 370km. The Elroq 60 has a claimed range of 440km (WLTP ) and is priced from €38,416.
The long range Elroq 85 is said to have a range of more than 560 kilometres on the WLTP cycle and is priced from €42,315 after rebates and delivery charges are applied. Sportline versions will also be offered from launch.
All Elroq versions are rear-wheel-drive with an all-wheel drive Elroq 85x planned for the latter half of 2025. Charging rates of up to 175 kW at DC fast-charging stations enable the 82 kWh battery of the Elroq 85 to recharge from 10 to 80 per cent in 28 minutes, according to Skoda. The smaller batteries of the Elroq 50 and Elroq 60 can be charged in 25 minutes or less.
Inside, Skoda says the Elroq provides a generous amount of space. This includes the largest boot in its segment with 470-litres of luggage capacity (up to 1,580-litres with the rear seats folded down ). There is 48-litres of storage capacity throughout the interior, as well as a storage net for the charging cable under the parcel shelf.
A 13-inch infotainment screen with an even more intuitive user interface comes as standard. A wide range of intuitive connectivity features, advanced assistance systems and up to nine airbags are all included.
The exterior gets a new glossy black Tech-Deck Face to replace the typical Skoda grille, while the new front is also characterised by a robust front bumper with a Unique Dark Chrome insert. The hallmark Skoda SUV 'four eyes' headlights graphic has been completely reinterpreted. The Elroq is also the first model to feature the Skoda lettering on both the bonnet and steering wheel.
Skoda claims the new Elroq features an "exceptionally aerodynamic body", boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.26. This is achieved through a range of innovative design elements, enabling a top speed of 180 km/h.
