An attractive, all-electric addition to the family: with its world premiere set for autumn 2024, the Elroq will soon expand Škoda Auto’s all-electric SUV range into the A Main SUV segment – the largest sub-segment in Europe by volume. With its distinguished looks, the new SUV is the first Škoda model to adopt the brand’s new Modern Solid design language, taking the exterior design of the portfolio even further. With plenty of space, including 470 litres to 1,580 litres of luggage capacity along with compact exterior dimensions and clever storage options, the Elroq is ideal for urban and suburban driving. Outputs from 170 PS (125 kW) to 300 PS (220 kW) as well as a range of more than 348 miles (560 km) (WLTP) and charging time below 28 minutes also make it a perfect companion for long-distance journeys. The introduction of the Škoda Elroq marks the beginning of Škoda’s new BEV campaign, which will see the launch of six battery-electric models over the coming years.
The all-new Škoda Elroq built on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) will come with four powertrain variants: the Elroq 50, 60, 85 and 85x. These models vary in battery capacity and corresponding power output, ranging from 170 PS (125 kW) to 300 PS (220 kW). The entry-level Elroq 50 features rear-wheel drive with a gross battery capacity of 55 kWh and an electric motor on the rear axle developing a peak output of 170 PS (125 kW). The Elroq 60 has a 63-kWh battery and a 150-kW electric motor. Both of these models achieve a top speed of 100 mph (160 km/h). The Elroq 85 and Elroq 85x variants are equipped with an 82-kWh battery (gross). The rear-wheel-drive Elroq 85 has a peak output of 285 PS (210 kW), while the Elroq 85x includes an additional electric motor on the front axle, offering all-wheel drive as standard and a peak output of 300 PS (220 kW). Both versions, the Elroq 85 and the 85x, reach a top speed of 112 mph (180 km/h) and deliver an electric range of more than 348 miles (560 kilometres).
