Milton Keynes, 20 January 2026 – The Škoda Elroq has continued its award-winning streak, claiming the prestigious Car of the Year title at the 2026 Company Car & Van Awards. Celebrated for its practicality, range, and value for money, the Czech SUV has firmly established itself as one of the most compelling mid-sized electric vehicles on the market.

Judges singled out the Elroq for its thoughtful design and versatility. Andrew Walker, editor of Company Car & Van, explained: “In our toughest category, the Škoda Elroq came out on top. Put simply, it’s a beautifully built and well thought out electric SUV that comes with a good range of battery sizes, some clever storage solutions, and Škoda’s new ‘Theme’ interiors, which lift the cabin above the norm.”

The Elroq impresses not only with its design and practicality but also with its value for money. Walker highlighted the entry-level Elroq 60, noting: “It offers C-SUV practicality at a B-SUV price, saving on the pennies. Not many cars have the wow factor, especially a mid-sized electric SUV, but the Elroq definitely has the wow!”

Since its launch in 2025, the Elroq has secured multiple accolades across the industry. Alongside the Company Car & Van award, it has been named overall Car of the Year by Auto Express, Family Electric SUV of the Year by What Car?, and Medium SUV of the Year by Business Car. The flagship 340 PS vRS model also earned recognition as Car of the Year by Sunday Times Driving, underscoring the range’s appeal to private buyers, fleet customers, and automotive journalists alike.

The Škoda Elroq’s combination of practicality, innovation, and affordability has made it a standout in a rapidly growing electric SUV market. With its broad appeal and multiple industry endorsements, the Elroq is proving that electric mobility can be both accessible and exciting.
