Does the Skoda Elroq's "Modern Solid" design language hit or miss?

by Ashutoshover 1 year ago0 views7 comments
The Elroq is the first in a new wave of Skoda models to feature the company's 'Modern Solid' design language, a dramatic break from the brand's more typical styling. It has clean lines, there's no classic Skoda logo, and 'SKODA' lettering is used on the bonnet and tailgate, which has generated debate among car fans. While some say it's a bold move towards a more modern look, others say it's a step too far away from Skoda's recognisable design heritage. The sustainable materials and aerodynamic features in the design of the Elroq also allow for a drag coefficient of 0.26. It could mark a change in design philosophy for the future, and Skoda’s future models and brand identity. What do you think long time Skoda fans and new potential buyers will think of this new design approach?

I work in design, and I love the boldness. Skoda is taking a risk and brands need to evolve, and if they do it right, it could pay off big time.

It's not a bad looking electric SUV, but in terms of design, it looks like every other electric SUV out there now. What happened to the Skoda charm? I’m concerned that they are losing their identity in the EV market.

I think it's a smart move. This design language helps to appeal to younger buyers, something Skoda needs to do. And it's a nice touch for eco conscious consumers that the sustainable materials.

I mean you guys are missing the point. Aerodynamics and efficiency are the name of the game with the "Modern Solid" design. It's impressive for an SUV to have that 0.26 drag coefficient. Function over form, people!

I'm torn, because I'm a long time Skoda fan. I will miss the classic logo, but the new design sure looks sleek. They're throwing away years of brand recognition.

Eh, I'm not sold on it. It feels like Skoda trying too hard to be trendy, and, as a result, losing its identity. Where did the quirky, practical designs we all enjoyed go?

I'm loving the new look! Skoda should have tried something fresh some time ago. It’s pretty clean lined and has a modern vibe to it, especially in this sea of boring SUVs.
