Škoda has officially announced the pricing and specifications for its highly anticipated all-electric compact SUV, the Elroq, ahead of its 18 October 2024 release. Starting at just £31,500, the Elroq promises to offer exceptional value, advanced technology, and Škoda’s renowned practicality, all wrapped in the brand’s striking new ‘Modern Solid’ design language.
A New Player in Electric Mobility
Positioned beneath the award-winning Enyaq in Škoda’s lineup, the Elroq becomes the brand’s second fully electric model built on Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform. It combines the well-loved attributes of the Enyaq in a more compact package, making it an appealing option in the increasingly competitive electric SUV market. The Elroq also debuts Škoda’s new design ethos, which is set to shape future models with bold, modern aesthetics.
Trim Levels and Battery Options
Škoda’s Elroq will be offered in four familiar trims: SE, SE L, Edition, and SportLine. Each trim comes with impressive standard features, with prices ranging from £31,500 to £41,600, depending on battery size and specifications.

Inside, drivers are treated to front sports seats, carbon-effect decorative inserts, and a heated sports steering wheel with recuperation paddles. Progressive dynamic steering, standard on all SportLine models, adds to its sporty appeal.
Tailored to Individual Preferences
Škoda offers an array of customization options for the Elroq, allowing buyers to tailor the SUV to their specific needs. With five different alloy wheel designs, two interior design selections, and stand-alone features like dynamic chassis control, a heat pump, and an electrically retractable tow bar, the Elroq can be configured to meet a wide range of requirements. Option packs further streamline the process by bundling popular features into convenient packages.
