Škoda Reveals First Glimpse of the Elroq - its First all Electric Model in the Compact SUV Category

Škoda has revealed the first images of the all-new Elroq, the car manufacturer’s first all electric model in the key compact SUV category. The new model offers a range of more than 560 km (WLTP) and charging time below 28 minutes.

It is built on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) will come with four powertrain variants: the Elroq 50, 60, 85 and 85x.

Its assistance systems include Travel Assist featuring a greatly expanded use of swarm data in its latest version.

The Intelligent Park Assist offers Remote Parking and Remote Trained Parking functions.

With Remote Parking, drivers can conveniently control parking manoeuvres from outside the vehicle and up to four metres away, using a smartphone and the MyŠkoda app.

Trained Parking enables drivers to “teach” the Elroq to remember approaches of up to 50 metres in length to a total of five different parking spaces.

The Elroq is then able to drive there and park itself automatically. 

The introduction of the Škoda Elroq marks the beginning of Škoda’s new battery electric vehicle (BEV) campaign, which will see the launch of six battery-electric models over the coming years.

The model is set for a world premiere in autumn 2024.

Klaus Zellmer, Škoda Auto CEO, says: “Growing our electric portfolio into several attractive new segments is key to our strategy of providing our customers a wide choice of new models to choose from and to the continued success of Škoda Auto. The Elroq is a milestone in our BEV portfolio, the first in a coming line-up of six new fully electric models, following the success of the Enyaq and Enyaq Coupé."

He adds: "Even the first glimpse of its bold new Modern Solid design tells you that this car is something new, the perfect balance of size, interior space and electric mobility for the city and beyond. Moreover, the Škoda Elroq is equipped with advanced technology and assistance systems that we know our customers value. I am really excited about this new addition to our expanding electrified family.”

Škoda Auto is committed to investing billions of euros into its transformation towards electric mobility in the coming years.
