Škoda Elroq: batteries, versions and trims
The Škoda Elroq is a compact electric SUV unveiled in 2024, built on the MEB platform. In this article, we review the battery and power options, trims, and what to look out for when buying a few-year-old Elroq.
Elroq at a glance
The Elroq is a smaller electric Škoda SUV designed for daily use and family life. It's crafted in the Škoda mould, with a strong focus on practicality: a spacious interior, a generous boot, and a host of 'Simply Clever' solutions.
The model is very new, so there are few used options available, and most cars are just a few months or years old. The key thing is the remaining warranty and battery warranty.
Which version to choose
The Elroq comes in several battery and power variants — from the base version with front or rear-wheel drive to more powerful and longer-range options. Differences are indicated by the number in the name (e.g., 50, 60, 85).
For daily city driving, a smaller battery will suffice, but for long journeys, opt for a higher-capacity version. The sportiest option is the Elroq RS with all-wheel drive.
Engines and gearboxes
The Elroq is an electric vehicle, so it has a single-speed gearbox and electric motors. Power ranges from around 170 hp in the base version to around 340 hp in the sporty RS version.
Battery range and distance driven depend on the version: larger battery variants achieve around 560–580 km according to WLTP. Check the exact information in the specific car's documents.
What to check when buying a used Elroq
Check the software version and ensure all manufacturer updates have been applied. Test the screen, voice control, and assist systems.
Request battery health data and ensure charging cables and adapters are included. Test both slow and fast charging.
Inspect the body and wheels, and if the car still has a warranty, check if it is transferable to the new owner.
