Milton Keynes, 3 September 2025 – Škoda has reaffirmed its leadership in the electric SUV segment, securing two major accolades at this year’s What Car? Electric Car Awards. The all-new Elroq was crowned Best Electric Family SUV 2025, while the Enyaq claimed the title of Best Used Electric Family SUV 2025.
The honours add to Škoda’s growing list of industry recognitions, underlining the brand’s reputation for building electric vehicles that blend efficiency, practicality, and value for money.
Elroq: A Repeat Winner
Having already been named What Car? Family Electric SUV of the Year in January, the Elroq has once again impressed, earning the top spot in the awards’ electric-only category. One of only a select few models to secure a five-star review score from What Car?, the Elroq was commended for its versatile performance, generous range, and everyday usability.
Steve Huntingford, Editor of What Car?, praised the Elroq’s comprehensive skill set:
“Thanks to a tight turning circle, the Elroq feels nimble around town. But it’s actually good to drive at any speed, thanks to a well-controlled ride, composed handling and smoother, more reassuring brakes than you get with most rivals. Add in a fine driving position, plenty of space for five, and a big range if you go for our recommended version, and it’s a fantastic car to live with.”
Enyaq: A Benchmark in the Used Market
Not overshadowed by its newer stablemate, the Enyaq demonstrated its enduring appeal by taking home the award for Best Used Electric Family SUV 2025. Introduced in 2021 as Škoda’s first purpose-built electric vehicle, the Enyaq quickly established itself as a class leader, praised for its build quality, efficiency, and family-friendly design.
Highlighting its exceptional value for second-hand buyers, Huntingford noted:
“If you’re looking to buy used rather than new, no other electric family SUV comes close to providing the all-round ability and exceptional value of a used Enyaq. No matter which version you go for, it’s a comfortable, practical and well-equipped choice.”
Strength in Design and Innovation
The recognition from What Car? follows an impressive awards season for both models. In 2025 alone, the Elroq and Enyaq have secured titles including Overall Car of the Year and Best Mid-Size SUV from Auto Express, alongside a prestigious Red Dot Award for product design.
Together, these accolades underline Škoda’s strength in delivering vehicles that meet the evolving needs of modern families—whether buyers are looking for the latest cutting-edge model or exceptional value on the used market.
