The upcoming Elroq mid-size electric SUV will be the first model to utilise Skoda’s new ‘Modern Solid’ design language
The all-new, all-electric Skoda Elroq will be unveiled in October, the Czech brand’s CEO Klaus Zellmer has confirmed on social media.
The exact reveal date is still under wraps, but we have been given another sneak peak at the highly anticipated follow-up to the Skoda Enyaq following our recent prototype drive.
The Skoda Elroq is the first model to be designed using Skoda‘s new ‘Modern Solid’ design philosophy, which was previewed by the Vision 7S concept in 2022 and the Skoda Epiq concept unveiled earlier this year. This should mean the car will have a robust look, while Skoda’s head of design, Oliver Stefani, believes “no doubt, our brand-new Elroq sets a new tone and is a real eye-catcher.”
The teaser image of the mid-size electric SUV also shows off the split headlight design that wraps slightly around to the car’s sides, and the Skoda lettering on the sharply contoured bonnet.
Below that is the Elroq’s blanked-off ‘Tech-Deck Face’, which is a flatter and wider reinterpretation of the traditional Skoda grille design. It’s hard to pick out any other details, although slightly unusually, Skoda has said that the Elroq will be sporting some large wheel designs, plus matrix LED headlight technology.
Importantly for a family car, Skoda is promising the 4.5-metre-long Elroq will offer a generous amount of interior space and “exceptional practicality”.
Elroq boot space revealed: The Elroq has a 470-litre boot, plus 48 litres of additional storage in the cabin, and the luggage capacity can expand to 1,580 litres when the rear seats are folded down.
There are plenty of Skoda’s signature ‘Simply Clever’ touches onboard as well, including some brand new ones like a storage net for the charging cables and a QR code in the boot that links to some handy instructional videos.
The Skoda Elroq sits on the Volkswagen Group’s EV-dedicated MEB platform, also used by the Enyaq and its coupe counterpart.
We’re told there will be four versions available, starting with the Elroq 50 that uses a 55kWh battery and a 168bhp rear-mounted electric motor. Next up, the Elroq 60 gets a larger 63kWh battery and 201bhp e-motor.
The range-topping Elroq 85 gets an 82kWh battery for a claimed range of more than 560 kilometres, and a single 282bhp e-motor.
The Elroq 85x adds a dual-motor setup offering four-wheel drive and a combined output of 220kW. We also know that there will be a high-performance Elroq vRS model further down the road.
The Elroq is the one of six new electric cars that Skoda plans to launch over the next few years, including its own seven-seater flagship, a road-going version of the Skoda Epiq and an affordable entry-level EV.
