Škoda is making headlines again with the arrival of the new Škoda Elroq SE L 85. This latest addition brings more driving range and better value, while also qualifying for the UK Government’s Electric Car Grant. For drivers looking at practical, stylish, and efficient options, this compact SUV delivers on all fronts.
Škoda Elroq SE L 85 joins the line-up
The Elroq has already won the trust of UK drivers, topping battery-electric vehicle sales earlier this year. Now, the SE L 85 strengthens the range by making the longest-range battery more accessible. It comes with an 82kWh (77kWh usable) pack that offers up to 355 miles of WLTP-tested range, ensuring fewer charging stops and more freedom on the road.
Power and performance
Beyond range, performance is a key talking point. The Škoda Elroq SE L 85 produces 210kW of power, delivering smooth acceleration and confident handling. Thanks to its MEB platform, it balances sporty responsiveness with everyday practicality. Rapid DC charging adds to the convenience, allowing a recharge to 80% in under 28 minutes.
Government grant advantage
The timing could not be better for UK buyers. With the Government’s £1,500 Electric Car Grant confirmed, customers enjoy instant savings at purchase. There’s no extra paperwork to fill out, the discount is applied directly. This makes the Elroq SE L 85, priced at £37,060 OTR, even more attractive at just £35,560 with the grant included.
Expanding choice across the range
Škoda has designed the Elroq family to suit different driving needs. From the entry-level SE 50 starting at £30,210 (with grant applied) to the sporty SportLine 85, drivers can choose what fits them best. Importantly, most models qualify for the grant, keeping electric mobility within reach of more households.
Enyaq also benefits
It’s not just the Elroq getting attention. Updated Enyaq models are also eligible for the grant. This flagship electric SUV combines comfort, practicality, and strong performance, making it another appealing choice for UK buyers looking to shift towards all-electric driving.
Sustainability built in
Škoda’s success with EVs isn’t only about price and range. The brand also embeds sustainability in its production. By using recycled materials, applying circular economy principles, and cutting environmental impact, Škoda continues its transition into a greener future.
Summary
The Škoda Elroq SE L 85 is more than just another trim in the line-up. With its 355-mile range, competitive pricing, and automatic government grant discount, it makes electric driving more appealing than ever. Alongside the Enyaq, it strengthens Škoda’s place in the EV market while staying true to its values of value, practicality, and sustainability.
