Skoda Elroq Updates

Wednesday, 13 November 2024 02:00 PM Skoda has announced that the first 475 customers who pre-order the Skoda Elroq will receive up to 10,000 miles of free public charging through the Million Mile Giveaway. This promotion highlights Skodas commitment to making electric vehicles more accessible. I think this is a great incentive to attract early adopters.

Wednesday, 02 October 2024 07:25 AM The Skoda Elroq features a new design language called the Tech Deck Face, which includes a two-tier layout with daytime running lights on top and separate headlights lower on the fascia. This design helps achieve a low drag coefficient of 0.26, making it slightly more aerodynamic than the VW ID.3. The new look is part of Skodas Modern Solid design philosophy.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 10:41 AM The Skoda Elroq comes in three variants: the Elroq 50, Elroq 60, and Elroq 85, each with different battery capacities and power outputs. The base Elroq 50 has a 55kWh battery and a 168hp motor, while the top Elroq 85 features an 82kWh battery and a 282hp motor. Charging speeds range from 145kW to 175kW depending on the battery.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 06:20 AM Skoda has emphasized the practicality of the Elroq, with features like an umbrella in the driver’s door, an ice scraper that doubles as a tire wear gauge, and elastic netting under the parcel shelf for storing the charging cable. These Simply Clever features are typical of Skodas design approach. I believe these small touches can make a big difference in everyday use.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 05:43 AM The Skoda Elroq is set to compete in the mid-size SUV market, directly challenging vehicles like the Kia Niro EV, Hyundai Kona, and Volvo EX30. Priced from £31,500, it offers a competitive range of up to 360 miles on the top model. Skodas strategy is to make electric vehicles more affordable and accessible.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 11:21 PM The Elroq boasts impressive interior space, with 470 liters of boot space with the seats up and 1,580 liters when the seats are folded down. It also features a 13-inch infotainment screen, physical shortcut buttons, and an optional head-up display with Augmented Reality visualizations. The interior design avoids the use of haptics and cheap switches seen in some other VW Group cars.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 10:55 PM Skodas Elroq will be available in various trims, including the SE, SE L, Edition, and Sportline. Each trim level adds different features such as heated front seats, sat-nav, better climate control, and unique exterior and interior designs. The Sportline trim includes a bespoke suspension setup and progressive steering.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 08:28 AM The Skoda Elroq uses the MEB platform shared with the Volkswagen ID.3 but is slightly larger and offers more space inside. It has a low center of gravity due to the battery placement under the front and rear seats, similar to the larger Enyaq. This design should make the Elroq comfortable to drive.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 04:51 PM Skodas launch of the Elroq marks the second phase of its electrification strategy, following the success of the Enyaq. The company plans to introduce another compact electric SUV, the Epiq, towards the end of 2025. This aggressive expansion into the electric market shows Skodas commitment to sustainability.

Tuesday, 01 October 2024 08:16 PM The Skoda Elroq is expected to arrive in the UK early next year, with order books already open. It is priced competitively, starting at £31,500 for the base model, making it an attractive option for those looking to transition to an electric vehicle. I think this pricing will make it a strong contender in the market.
