Škoda has announced a significant expansion of its highly anticipated Elroq electric SUV lineup, bringing more choices, enhanced performance, and a sportier edge to the range. Just ahead of its arrival on UK roads, Škoda is adding new SportLine models, along with mid-range SE L and Edition trims, giving customers a broader selection to suit their needs and preferences.
The new Elroq SportLine takes center stage, offering a striking design package and sharper driving dynamics. Following the successful formula of other Škoda SportLine models, the Elroq version is poised to inject a dose of sportiness into the electric SUV segment. Available with both 60 and 85 battery options, the SportLine offers impressive range and performance, with the 85 version boasting a specially tuned sports suspension for an even more engaging driving experience.
The Elroq SportLine 60, equipped with a 63kWh (59kWh net) battery and a 204PS motor, delivers power to the rear wheels, accelerating from 0-62mph in 8.0 seconds and offering a WLTP range of up to 263 miles. The Elroq SportLine 85, featuring a larger 82kWh battery (77kWh net) and a 286PS rear motor, accelerates even faster, reaching 0-62mph in just 6.6 seconds, and providing an extended WLTP range of up to 355 miles. Both models support rapid DC charging, with the 60 version capable of up to 165kW and the 85 version up to 175kW.
Visually, the Elroq SportLine stands out with numerous gloss black details, including the mirror caps, side window trims, and roof rails. Both versions come standard with 20-inch Asterion black alloy wheels, a gloss black front bumper spoiler, and a gloss black rear apron insert. The SportLine badge on the tailgate replaces the battery version designation, adding to the car’s sporty identity. Privacy glass is standard on both SportLine models, as well as the Edition trim.
Inside the SportLine, the design selection is dominated by black, extending to the headliner. The front sports seats with integrated head restraints are upholstered in black microsuede and artificial leather, featuring grey contrasting stitching and standard seat heating. The heated three-spoke sports steering wheel includes recuperation paddles and a SportLine badge. Carbon-effect trim strips on the dashboard and stainless-steel pedal covers complete the sporty interior ambiance.
In terms of standard equipment, both Elroq SportLine models come with full LED Matrix beam headlights, a 13-inch infotainment system with satellite navigation (standard from SE L), and an electrically operated tailgate with kick activation.
Alongside the SportLine, Škoda is also introducing new mid-range SE L 60 and Edition 60 models. Both are equipped with a new 63kWh (59kWh net) battery pack and a 204PS rear motor, offering a WLTP combined range of 265 miles and supporting 165kW DC rapid charging.
The Elroq SE L 60 builds upon the already generous SE specification, adding satellite navigation, a heated two-spoke leather multifunction steering wheel with recuperation paddles, heated front seats, front and rear parking sensors, and drive mode select as standard.
The Elroq Edition 60 offers even more equipment, including 19-inch Regulus anthracite alloy wheels, unique dark chrome roof rails and window trim, privacy glass with acoustic side windows, Travel Assist Plus, keyless entry and start/stop with walk away locking, and predictive adaptive cruise control with Traffic Jam Assist. Wireless charging (15W) with cooling and 45W USB-C ports in the front and rear complete the highlights.
With this expanded lineup, Škoda is offering a compelling range of Elroq models to suit a variety of needs and budgets. The addition of the SportLine trim brings a new level of excitement and dynamism to the Elroq family, while the SE L and Edition models provide enhanced features and value.
