Elroq awarded ‘Best Electric Car’ by Autocar
Autocar says few EVs offer the Elroq’s level of versatility, practicality and value for money.
Autocar said:
"We think the Skoda Elroq is the best electric car you can buy right now. Few compact SUVs can match its clever blend of versatility, range, maturity and sheer value for money. Plus several derivatives qualify for the band-two ECG, which means you can save up to £1500.
Four years ago, the Skoda Enyaq emerged as a comfortable, reasonably priced, well-conceived mid-size electric SUV. The Elroq takes that formula and reworks it into a smaller, lower-priced model. Yet it also represents a shift in design philosophy, all while being assertively strong in all areas.
It’s obligingly supple on typical dual carriageways and A-roads.

Inside, it’s massive. The boot is particularly useful and among the largest in class and the storage is on point. For instance, you can keep the charging cables in an underboot cubby or the storage net in the boot and the parcel shelf has multiple heights.
Adaptability also is high up on the list of reasons to buy. Top-spec models have a WLTP range of 360 miles, and even in our real-world testing 270-300 miles was easily achievable.
Several versions, including the SE L 85 with a WLTP range of 355 miles, qualify for the £1500 ECG, which makes the Elroq an even more desirable proposition. "
