Skoda Elroq [UK] (2025)

New, more intuitive user interface and enhanced MyŠkoda app

The 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, as well as four shortcuts for applications. Both the Vehicle and Apps menus have been refined to deliver even more user-friendly controls.

New Favourite options for battery preheating, Speed Assist and Heaters have been added to the top bar in the upper left corner. Additionally, it is no longer necessary to authenticate the user on the welcome screen; instead, users are logged in automatically. The new software also offers an upgraded navigation system, and easier climate control. The latest version of the MyŠkoda app features further enhancements: Powerpass is now integrated into the MyŠkoda app, giving access to more than 800,000 charging points across Europe.

The list of Škoda Connect services now also includes Lock & Unlock, allowing users to lock or unlock their car remotely using the MyŠkoda app. Optional Remote Park Assist, which enables the Elroq to enter and exit parallel and endon parking spaces automatically, is also controlled via the MyŠkoda smartphone app. The system uses Bluetooth communication, with the owner holding the vehicle key standing near the Elroq. The Remote Charging & Smart Schedules feature allows drivers to set a scheduled time to charge the vehicle in advance, allowing them to take advantage of off-peak tariffs that their energy provider may have. Plus the customer can also create different charging settings based on the vehicle location, for example at work.

High specifications and equipment for UK range

From launch, Elroq customers will be able to choose from four familiar trim grades; SE, SE L, Edition and SportLine, all of which enjoy generous standard specifications. Prices range from £31,500 for the entry-level SE model with a 55 kWh (52 kWh net) battery, up to £41,600 for the range-topping SportLine model equipped with the largest 82 kWh (77 kWh net) battery.

All models are equipped with alloy wheels, LED headlights and a 13-inch infotainment system and digital cockpit, along with dual-zone climate control, rear view camera and wireless Smartlink. Mid-range SE L models add features including heated seats and steering wheel plus satellite navigation and drive mode select. Edition models add adaptive cruise control, 19-inch wheels and keyless entry, while SportLine variants come with sports suspension (85 battery only), sports seats and progressive dynamic steering. SportLine models also feature matrix LED headlights, electric boot and transport pack (e.g. variable boot floor, net for charging cable).

Exterior design

The new Škoda Elroq features compact outside dimensions, a distinctive shape and clean lines. With its glossy black Tech- Deck Face, the consistent switch to Unique Dark Chrome and the new exclusive Timiano Green colour, the new Elroq is the first Škoda production model to adopt the new design language of the Modern Solid era. In addition, new lighting options and excellent aerodynamics with drag coefficients from 0.26 characterise the latest addition to the Czech car manufacturer's battery-electric portfolio.

Tech-Deck Face shows the future shape of the Škoda grille

The all-new Škoda Elroq represents a milestone in the Czech brand's history. The compact electric SUV is the first Škoda production vehicle to adopt the new Modern Solid design language. Familiar Škoda lines are retained but viewed from a completely new perspective. The new trademark is the Tech-Deck Face, which replaces the familiar Škoda radiator grille at the front. Behind this glossy black element the engineers have concealed sensors such as the radar and the front camera.

A little higher up, the Elroq features the new Škoda lettering on the strongly contoured bonnet, making it the brand's first production model to do away with the logo previously placed there. The lettering as well as the brand and model designations at the rear are painted in Unique Dark Chrome. This also applies to an insert in the rugged front apron and the Škoda logos on the alloy wheels.

New LED light variants, new four-eyed face and minimalist look

In the Modern Solid era, the headlights feature slim lines and a minimalist, purposeful design. They reinterpret the typical four-eyed Škoda SUV face and use LED technology exclusively. While the narrow upper segments of the headlights serve as daytime running lights, position lights and indicators, the larger lower modules provide the important low-beam and high-beam functions.

Matrix headlight technology and adaptive lighting modes

The headlights of the Elroq are available in two versions: the standard version 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. In the top-tier LED Matrix beam headlights, 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 countries driving on the other side of the road. The rear lights also conform to the Modern Solid design language, with fine lines and a minimalist 2D look. Even the standard variant uses 100 per cent LED technology. The top-of-the-range version 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 0.26 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 19 to 21-inch alloy wheels are aerodynamically optimised as well, while the striking wheel arches are emphasised by a black trim.

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 from 1,949 kilograms (with driver). 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.

Interior design

The Elroq combines compact exterior dimensions with a generous amount of interior space for passengers, including the biggest boot in its class and clever storage options. The interior is characterised by a clean design, intuitive infotainment features and advanced sustainable materials. Up to three digital displays, a new user interface and a physical button bar make for supreme ease of use. The Design Selections focus on sustainability and innovative, durable and practical materials that deliver a high-quality, premium feel.

Simplicity and spaciousness inside the new Elroq

The interior of the 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.

13-inch infotainment display and digital cockpit as standard and optional head-up display with Augmented Reality

The Škoda Elroq always comes with a central, 13-inch infotainment display as standard, featuring a clear, intuitive interface and graphic design. Drivers can define up to five shortcuts leading to frequently accessed vehicle functions and up to four shortcuts for apps. New Favourite options for battery preheating, Speed Assist and Heaters have been added to the top bar in the upper left corner. Additionally, it is no longer necessary to authenticate the user on the welcome screen; instead, users are logged in automatically. The new software offers a clearer menu structure, an improved navigation system and an even more user-friendly air conditioning system. A physical button bar below the infotainment display provides quick access to menus controlling the assistance systems, driving modes, parking functions and climate controls.

The digital cockpit provides a clear and intuitive overview of all key driving data. A head-up display with Augmented Reality functions and further optimised graphics is available as an option. It shows the speed, recognised traffic signs, cruise control and assistance system information as well as navigation instructions. In addition, Augmented Reality projects further information into the driver's field of vision. This can include dynamic navigation arrows, destination markers, welcome and goodbye logos and dynamic driving aids.

Design Selections with numerous durable and sustainable materials

With multiple interior Design Selections available for the Elroq, Škoda is placing even more emphasis on personalisation; while providing innovative, sustainable, durable and practical materials. In the Loft Design Selection, contrasting stitching in Moss Green adds fresh accents to the interior, which is dominated by anthracite grey. The seat covers are made of artificial leather and grey RecyTitan fabric. It 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. The remaining material consists of new PET and mechanically recycled fibres. The fibre blend is processed without any further chemical treatment.

The Lodge Design Selection features a material called TechnoFil, which is composed of 75% recycled ECONYL® fibres and 25% polyester. The innovative ECONYL® yarns re-use nylon waste, such as fishing nets, fabric scraps and carpets destined for landfill, transforming them into new nylon yarn. Known for its excellent friction and abrasion resistance, ECONYL® nylon is also 100% regenerable, allowing yarns to be recycled repeatedly without ever losing quality.

The Lodge Design Selection combines black TechnoFil fabrics with light grey artificial leather. It features a black headliner and numerous orange-coloured accents, for example on the seat belts and in the contrasting stitching on the seats and upholstery. This combination is inspired by the Škoda Vision 7S concept car, focusing on the classic elegance of black leather and artificial leather with cognac-coloured contrasting stitching.

Additional sustainable materials

In all Design Selections, the material used for the floor upholstery and mats contains recycled polyester, just like the backing of the artificial leather used for the Lodge, Suite and SportLine Design Selections.

Ambient lighting

The ambient lighting in the new Škoda Elroq is available in two variants depending on the chosen Design Selection. 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. The Lodge, Suite, and SportLine Design Selections also incorporate ambient lighting for the dashboard. Users can choose from ten standard colours and five pre-defined mood settings.

Plenty of space for passengers and luggage as well as clever details

There are numerous smart storage options with a total capacity of up to 48 litres. Two additional compartments on either side of the boot 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. This makes the cargo space particularly versatile (equipment availability varies according to trim grade).

A 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.
