New Skoda Elroq unveiled at Prague — Likely to arrive in India next year

Skoda Auto has unveiled the 2024 Skoda Elroq compact electric SUV at its homebase in Prague. Along with revealing the design of the Elroq, Skoda has also released key specifications of the same. Already on sale in Europe, the Elroq is also likely to make its way to the Indian market sometime next year. Here’s everything you need to know about this new electric car from the Czech automaker.

Skoda Elroq – What is it?

The Elroq is an electric compact-SUV from Skoda Auto that was unveiled to the public on October 1, 2024. Based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, the Elroq has debuted with multiple battery and motor combinations. Notably, the Elroq is the first car to feature Skoda’s ‘Modern Solid’ design language. 

Battery and motor combinations

The Skoda Elroq has initially been launched with a choice of three powertrain combinations, namely Elroq 50, Elroq 60, and Elroq 85. Here’s a table to give you a simplified presentation of the battery capacity, power output figures, claimed range & charging time, claimed 0-100kmph acceleration time, as well as the top speed of each of the trims.

All these trims get a rear-mounted electric motor. An all-wheel drive 85x trim with two electric motors shall also be available, though the same is not hitting the shelves this year.

There’s a blacked-out closed front grille that sits below the SKODA lettering in place of the iconic winged logo. The car measures 4,488mm in length and has a wheelbase of 2,765mm.

There’s a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system at the centre, along with physical buttons down below for basic controls (appreciate that, Skoda). A digital driver’s display is also tucked neatly behind the rather immaculate steering wheel. In terms of safety features, the Elroq gets options for up to nine airbags, ADAS, and more.
