The Škoda Elroq is a new fully electric compact SUV offering over 500 km of range, fast charging, and a smart, spacious interior. Designed for Irish roads, it combines modern styling, practical tech, and everyday comfort — ideal for drivers ready to switch to electric.
A Game-Changer for Everyday Electric Driving
The all-new Škoda Elroq is finally here — and it might just be the ideal electric SUV for Irish roads. Sitting just below the larger Enyaq, the Elroq delivers the perfect balance of size, space and value.
It’s an EV that feels premium but practical, designed for real Irish life — from busy commutes and weekend trips to the occasional cross-country adventure.
Fresh Design, Smart Attitude
From every angle, the Elroq looks sharp and modern. It introduces Škoda’s new “Modern Solid” design language — clean surfaces, bold LED lighting, and a solid, confident front end that replaces the traditional grille with a sleek black panel.
The car’s proportions are spot-on for Irish roads — compact enough for tight city streets but with enough presence to look at home on the motorway. The sculpted rear, crisp LED taillights, and subtle detailing make it one of the best-looking Škodas to date.
Interior: Space, Simplicity & Smart Tech
Inside, the Elroq offers what Irish drivers have come to expect from Škoda — solid build quality, clever design and a relaxed, premium feel.
A large touchscreen infotainment system and fully digital cockpit come as standard, offering seamless smartphone integration, crisp graphics and intuitive menus. The cabin feels open and airy, with soft-touch materials and sustainable finishes that add a touch of luxury.
Practicality is top-notch too: generous legroom front and back, flexible seating, and a large boot that can easily swallow pushchairs, sports gear or the weekly shop.
Power, Range & Charging
Underneath, the Elroq shares its platform with the Volkswagen Group’s proven EV architecture — meaning excellent reliability and charging performance.
Irish buyers can choose from several versions:
- A smaller-battery model ideal for urban driving.
- A long-range version capable of over 500 km on a full charge in ideal conditions.
- An all-wheel-drive option with extra power and traction for winter driving or rural routes.
Fast charging is included across the range — plug into a rapid charger and you can go from 10 % to 80 % in under half an hour.
Comfort & Driving Experience
The Elroq feels smooth, quiet and confident on the move. Instant torque makes it responsive in traffic, while the suspension is tuned to handle the patchy backroads we all know too well.
It’s easy to drive around town, relaxed on the motorway, and stable in corners. The steering feels light but precise — perfect for Ireland’s mix of city streets, motorways and coastal roads.
Everyday Practicality
Like every Škoda, the Elroq is packed with “Simply Clever” touches — from hidden storage cubbies to a neat spot for your charging cable. The car is full of small details that make life easier, whether you’re doing the school run or heading off for a weekend break.
With home charging, most Irish drivers will only need to plug in a few times a week, and the range easily covers the average weekly mileage.
Pricing & Value in Ireland
In Ireland, the Škoda Elroq is expected to start in the mid-€40,000s, depending on specification and battery size.
That puts it squarely between smaller electric crossovers and the larger Enyaq, offering plenty of range and features without breaking the bank. Expect familiar trim lines — Selection, Sportline, and RS — with finance packages and incentives available through Irish dealerships.
Verdict: The Right Electric SUV for Real Life
The new Škoda Elroq feels like it’s been designed for Irish drivers — compact, capable, and cleverly built. It’s practical enough for family life, stylish enough for work or leisure, and efficient enough to make electric driving easy.
For anyone ready to make the switch to EV, but who still needs real-world space and value, the Elroq is a genuine contender. It’s modern, well-equipped and refreshingly sensible — a true reflection of what Škoda does best.
