The 2025 Škoda Elroq

The Škoda Elroq offers excellent value for money, outperforming most alternatives in its segment. Higher trims offer a range of up to 570 km at competitive prices.

However, this range is insufficient, and the Elroq has many other advantages. Its spacious and elegant interior makes it an ideal family vehicle. All passengers will appreciate the enhanced comfort, safety, and technology. Powerful engines ensure a smooth ride, and there is even a vRS option.
