Summary
The Skoda Elroq is a small all-electric SUV/crossover that arrived on UK roads in 2025 as the smaller sibling to Skoda’s highly-regarded Enyaq SUV.
Described as “one of the best electric cars on sale right now” by Heycar’s Phil Hall, the Carbuyer team concludes that the Elroq is “an impressive small electric SUV which takes the best bits of the Enyaq” but instead caters to those who don’t necessarily need all the space the larger all-electric SUV offers.
Parker’s Ted Welford adds that the car has a “smart, well-built interior” and has “an excellent ride and handling balance.” That said, he also says that the Skoda is “let down” by its “slightly confusing” trim structure and also its excessive options list. Other outlets have also criticized the car’s lack of physical dials or buttons for the climate control – those settings accessed through the infotainment screen.
As of February 2025, we don’t have enough data to issue the Skoda Elroq with an Expert Rating. Checking back soon for the latest information.

“Sometimes the simplest ideas are the best, and the Skoda Elroq proves it. Rather than reinventing the wheel, it delivers the same strong focus on value, space, functionality and comfort as the best-selling Skoda Enyaq, just crammed into a more compact, more affordable package. The surprisingly striking design allows the Elroq to stand apart from its bigger brother, too.”

“The Skoda Elroq might not be the cool or desirable kid in the electric SUV class, but it does the sensible side of things far better than anything else at this price. Sensible is the new cool.”

“The clean, contemporary design certainly looks the part, it’s well equipped and comes with a spacious cabin. Just as importantly, electric range is also very good and better than a lot of other EVs in this class. One of the best electric cars on sale right now.”

“We love the Elroq’s versatile and spacious cabin, with its large boot and generous rear-seat room that is most impressive for a compact SUV. The Elroq also has a smart, well-built interior and is very good to drive with an excellent ride and handling balance.”
