Skoda has unveiled its newest electric car, the 2025 Skoda Elroq, which is set to hit Australian showrooms in July 2026. This small electric SUV boasts an impressive driving range of up to 581km, making it a strong competitor in the electric vehicle market.
Unlike its larger counterpart, the Enyaq, which took four years to reach Australia, the Elroq is expected to arrive much sooner, offering customers a more affordable option with prices likely to undercut the Enyaq. With a starting price around $50,000, the Elroq is positioned to compete with other vehicles in its class.
Built on the MEB electric-car platform, the Elroq offers three battery capacities and the option of rear- or all-wheel drive, delivering up to 220kW of power. The SUV features a sleek new design language, including a unique front-end design called the ‘Tech-Deck Face’ and distinctive Matrix LED headlights with 36 light segments.
Inside, the Elroq is equipped with a 13-inch infotainment touchscreen, incorporating ChatGPT artificial intelligence technology. The cabin features sustainable materials, such as Recytitan fibre upholstery made from recycled PET plastic, showcasing Skoda’s commitment to environmentally-friendly practices.
In addition to its innovative design and technology, the Elroq offers a range of premium features, including an augmented-reality head-up display, wireless phone charging, and tri-zone climate control. The SUV also introduces new ‘Simply Clever’ interior features, such as a storage net for the charging cable and a QR code in the boot for easy access to tutorials.
The Elroq is available in several variants, with the top-of-the-line Elroq 85x offering a dual-motor setup for increased power and range. Skoda claims fast charging capabilities for the Elroq, with DC fast charging speeds of up to 175kW, allowing for quick recharges in as little as 28 minutes.
Safety is a top priority for Skoda, with the Elroq featuring nine airbags, adaptive cruise control, lane-centring assist, and remote parking features. Customers can expect a high level of safety and convenience when driving the 2025 Skoda Elroq.
Overall, the 2025 Skoda Elroq represents a significant step forward for Skoda in the electric vehicle market, offering customers a stylish, sustainable, and technologically advanced SUV. With its competitive pricing, impressive range, and innovative features, the Elroq is poised to make a strong impact when it arrives in Australia next year.
