The 2025 Skoda Elroq, an eagerly anticipated evolution of the popular Karac compact crossover, is poised to make a significant impact on the electric vehicle market. With its striking design and advanced features, the Elroq aims to transform the electric driving experience.
Currently undergoing rigorous testing, the Elroq showcases a design that blends innovation with style. Inspired by its larger counterpart, the Skoda Enyak, the Elroq adopts a more compact and agile stance. Its front end features a distinctive look with split lighting units and advanced Matrix LED beams, providing precise illumination. The grille is slim and fully enclosed, highlighting the Elroq’s electric nature. A sculpted bonnet with a new Skoda wordmark, vertical air curtains, and a sleek lower intake contribute to a dynamic and modern appearance.
The side profile of the Elroq is equally impressive, characterized by a prominent character line, sharp surfacing, and muscular rear hunches. At the rear, an angular window, wraparound spoiler, minimalist bumper, and angular tail lights complete the vehicle’s distinctive design.
Inside, the Elroq emphasizes technological sophistication and comfort. A large standalone infotainment system offers a seamless user experience, while a compact digital instrument cluster provides essential driving information. A head-up display projects key details onto the windshield for easy viewing. The two-spoke steering wheel, equipped with physical buttons and haptic scroll wheels, ensures precise control. A mobile digital key feature enhances convenience, allowing drivers to access various functions through their smart devices.
Measuring approximately 177 inches in length, the Elroq provides a spacious and practical interior, ideal for families. Built on Volkswagen’s MEB platform, the Elroq shares its foundation with other electric models, ensuring a reliable driving experience.
Among its standout features is an intelligent speed assist system that uses traffic sign recognition and navigation data to adjust the car’s speed smoothly. While specific battery details are yet to be disclosed, the Elroq is expected to offer two battery options: a 62 kWh battery and a 77 kWh battery. The base model will likely feature a rear-mounted motor delivering 177 horsepower and 229 lb-ft of torque. Higher-end models could achieve up to 286 horsepower, with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive version potentially offering 340 horsepower in a high-performance VRS variant. The Elroq is expected to have a driving range exceeding 350 miles on a single charge and will include preconditioning functionality to optimize DC charging speed in colder temperatures.
