New electric Skoda for autumn debut


A new compact SUV electric car from Skoda is due for debut in the autumn, writes Brian Byrne. Names Elroq, the car is in final stages of pre-production testing.

The car will have outputs from 170hp to 300hp and a range of more than 560km (WLTP) is claimed.

The Elroq is the first Škoda model to adopt the brand’s new Modern Solid design language, taking the exterior design of the portfolio even further. Luggage capacity will range from a minimum of 470 litres.

Skoda’s new BEV programme will see the launch of six battery-electric models over the coming years.
