Modern Solid: Tech-Deck Face with a new interpretation of familiar Škoda lines

The exterior of the Elroq is defined by a distinctive shape and clean lines, making it one of the first Škoda models to adopt the new Modern Solid design language. Looking at traditional Škoda design elements from an entirely new perspective, the glossy black Tech-Deck Face replaces the typical Škoda grille, while still referencing familiar Škoda lines. The new front is also characterised by a robust front bumper with a Unique Dark Chrome insert, while the hallmark Škoda SUV “four eyes” headlights graphic has been completely reinterpreted. The Elroq features the Škoda lettering on both the bonnet and steering wheel, and has an exceptionally aerodynamic body, boasting a drag coefficient of just 0.26. This is achieved through a range of innovative design elements, enabling a top speed of 180 km/h.

Matrix headlight technology and adaptive lighting modes

The headlights of the Elroq are available in two versions: the Elroq 60 variant has a continuous daytime running light and indicator module at the top and a shared unit with LED modules for the low beam and high beam at the bottom. The Elroq Sportline 85 variant offers LED Matrix beam headlights, where four individual rectangular LED modules form the daytime running light strip in the upper light unit. Two striking LED blocks are used in the lower module. They feature matrix technology with 36 individual light segments, selectively shielding oncoming road users when the high beam is switched on. In addition, the LED Matrix beam headlights offer five adaptive light modes: City mode, Country mode, Highway mode, All-weather light mode and Tourist mode for instances where the vehicle is relocated to a country that drives on the right. The rear lights also conform to the Modern Solid design language, with fine lines and a minimalist 2D look. The Elroq Sportline 85 also offers dynamic indicators, backlit crystalline elements, an animation when the tailgate is opened and a choice of two Coming/Leaving Home animations that integrate the headlights.

Gently sloping roofline and many design tweaks for excellent aerodynamics

The distinctive, clean side profile of the Škoda Elroq features a dynamic arc beginning at the aero-optimised A-pillar, extending to a gently sloping roofline that merges seamlessly into a roof spoiler with finlets above the tailgate. The excellent aerodynamics with a drag coefficient of just 0.261 are the result of many clever design tweaks, among them specially moulded exterior mirrors.

An active cooling roller blind behind the front apron opens automatically when cooling air is required for the battery system. When cooling requirements are low, it closes and reduces air resistance in the same way as the air curtains at the front. They optimise air flow around the front bumper and the wheels and reduce turbulence behind the wheels. The wheel gap reducers minimise the gap between the front bumper and the front wheels. This also helps reduce turbulence at the front bumper, keeping the air flow close to the bodywork. The 20 and 21-inch alloy wheels (optional) are aerodynamically optimised as well, while the striking wheel arches are emphasised by a black trim.

Choice of powertrains, long range and short charging times

The Škoda Elroq is based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) and enters the compact SUV segment with efficient powertrain variants. The Elroq 60 features rear-wheel drive, with a battery capacity of 63 kWh (59 kWh net) and offers a range of more than 400 km. Its motor develops 150 kW and 310 Nm of torque and has a top speed of 160 km/h.

The Elroq Sportline 85 variant features the largest battery, with a capacity of 82 kWh (77 kWh net). The Sportline 85 is combined with a 210 kW* rear motor that delivers a maximum torque of 545 Nm to the rear wheels, achieving a top speed of 180 km/h. The Sportline 85 offers one of the longest maximum ranges in its segment, exceeding 530 kilometres on the WLTP cycle - making it the perfect choice for longer journeys.

High charging capacities and optimised preheating ensure short charging times for both variants of the all-new Škoda Elroq. The 85 variant takes 28 minutes to charge from 10% to 80%, with a maximum charging capacity of 135 kW. For Elroq 60, which supports charging rates of up to 65 kW, the same process takes 25 minutes or less. All Elroq models support charging rates of up to 11 kW at AC charging stations.

High-voltage batteries with modular design

The Li-ion batteries of the all-new Škoda Elroq have a modular design. The battery of the Elroq 60 consists of nine modules, where the 82 kWh capacity of the Elroq 85 battery is spread across twelve modules. The batteries are positioned in the vehicle floor under the front and rear seats as well as under the tunnel console to ensure a low centre of gravity. The design of the Elroq’s battery, including its liquid cooling and heating system, is identical to that of the Enyaq family. The battery’s optimised preheating function increases efficiency at DC fast-charging stations and can be activated manually in the infotainment system’s charging menu. The current temperature of the battery and the current state of charge are constantly monitored by the battery thermal management system, which activates the temperature control if necessary.

Axles, brakes and DCC adaptive chassis

The front of the new Elroq 60 is equipped with ventilated disc brakes and single-piston callipers, while the Elroq 85 features twin-piston callipers. The rear axle is fitted with drum brakes, which are ideal for electric vehicles that primarily rely on regenerative braking. Excellent handling is ensured by a MacPherson front axle with lower triangular arms and a transverse torsion stabiliser, paired with a multi-link suspension with five transverse arms and torsion stabiliser at the rear.

Driving comfort can be further enhanced with the optional DCC adaptive chassis or variable-ratio progressive steering. The DCC adaptive chassis adjusts the suspension responses based on road surface characteristics or driver preferences. It offers three predefined settings: Normal, Comfort, and Sport, with the Custom mode providing a choice of fifteen different chassis set-ups. Adaptive dampers can be ordered as part of the Driver Package for the Elroq and Sportline 85.

The kerb weight of the new Elroq is 1,949–2,119 kg, depending on the version, and the total weight is 2,427–2,650 kg, depending on the version. The new Elroq can tow braked trailers weighing up to 1,200 kg on an 8% gradient or 1,000 kg on a 12% gradient.

Timiano Green: exclusive colour for the Elroq series

The Škoda Elroq is 4,488 millimetres long, 1,884 millimetres wide and 1,625 millimetres tall. Its wheelbase measures a generous 2,765 millimetres, and the kerb weight is 1,949 kilograms. Nine paint finishes are available. One of the three solid colours is Timiano Green, making its Škoda debut. This colour is exclusive to the Škoda Elroq.

Spacious interior with sustainable materials and new Simply Clever ideas

The interior of the all-new Škoda Elroq is characterised by simplicity, clean lines, new sustainable Design Selections and spaciousness. Headroom is 1,056 millimetres at the front and 990 millimetres at the rear. With a capacity of 470 litres, the boot is one of the largest in this vehicle class and can be expanded to a maximum of 1,580 litres by folding down the rear seats. In line with the new Modern Solid design language, the steering wheel features Škoda lettering instead of the brand logo.

New, more intuitive user interface

The 13" infotainment display comes with a new user interface, which is even easier and more intuitive to operate, thanks to a clearer menu structure. The software enables up to five shortcuts for vehicle functions to be set and has been refined to deliver even more user-friendly controls. The new software also offers easier climate control access.

Design Selections with durable and sustainable materials

With the Design Selections available for the Elroq, Škoda is placing even more emphasis on innovative, sustainable, durable and practical materials. The Loft Design Selection, available in the Elroq 60 has contrasting stitching in Moss Green that adds fresh accents to the interior, which is dominated by anthracite grey. The seat covers are made of artificial leather and dark bluish-grey RecyTitan fabric that is used for the door panels, seats, instrument panel, centre armrest and knee area. The material contains 78% recycled PET, for example from drinks bottles. For the first time in a Škoda model, fibres from mechanically recycled post-consumer clothing (6%) are blended in a high-tech process combining circularity with safe chemical treatment. The careful attention to detail during the spinning and weaving of yarns ensures comfort, durability, and sustainability.

Specific Sportline Design Selection and improved equipment

The specific Sportline Design Selection is dominated by sporty black, which also extends to the headliner. The front sports seats with integrated head restraints feature black Suedia and artificial leather upholstery, grey contrasting stitching and seat heating as standard. The heated sports steering wheel has three spokes, recuperation paddles and a Sportline badge. The sporty interior ambience is rounded off by carbon-look trim strips on the dashboard and stainless-steel pedal covers. Standard equipment also includes 13-inch infotainment, two-zone Climatronic, front and rear parking sensors and Driving Mode Select.

Ambient lighting

The ambient lighting in the new Škoda Elroq elevates the interior experience. This ambient lighting includes illumination for the front and rear door panels, the door handles, and the centre console; the front and rear footwells are lit in white. Both trimlines also incorporate ambient lighting for the dashboard. Users can choose from ten standard colours and five pre-defined mood settings.

Plenty of space, as well as clever details

There are numerous smart storage options with a total capacity of 48 litres, for example, two additional compartments on either side of the boot. These are among the many brand-new Simply Clever features, as is the storage net for a charging cable under the boot lid and the luggage compartment cover, which can also be installed halfway up (Sportline). This makes the cargo space particularly versatile. The QR code in the boot links to a quick overview of the equipment and functions available in the vehicle. Interactive video instructions explain the use of the parcel shelf or the newly designed netting system. Among the numerous popular Simply Clever details, there is also a Jumbo box complete with a clever storage tray and tablet holder, a storage box for rear passengers, folding hooks on both sides of the luggage compartment, a cargo element under the boot floor, a partition net screen, a sustainable ice scraper with tyre tread depth gauge in the fifth-door panelling, a sustainable umbrella in the dedicated storage compartment in the driver’s door and a warning triangle stored in the tailgate.
