Škoda Elroq vs Enyaq: The Battle of the Brothers

Описание: The Škoda Enyaq, but smaller and more affordable! Stuart from West End Garage in Dunfermline kindly lent me his Škoda Elroq in Timiano Green for the weekend so that my wife could test it.

The Elroq is a compact electric crossover starting from £31,500 and rising to £41,600 for the Sportline trim with the biggest battery and extra power. How does this compare with the Enyaq? And will my wife like it enough to replace her nearly 8 year old VW Golf?

Key Specs & Features:
✔ Range & Charging: Up to 175 kW DC rapid charging and battery pre-conditioning
✔ Power Options: 167, 200, or 280 bhp depending on the version
✔ Design Updates: New Skoda tech deck front, Škoda lettering replacing the winged arrow badge, matt silver finish replacing chrome inside and a drag coefficient improvement
✔ Boot Space: 470L with clever storage solutions borrowed from the Fabia
✔ Interior: Same as the Enyaq, spacious, and packed with Simply Clever features

💬 Would you go for the Sportline version or stick with the standard trim? Or perhaps wait for the recently announced vRS model? Let me know in the comments.

For charging away from home I use the Octopus Electroverse charging card. Sign up via this link for a free £5 credit on charging https://electroverse.octopus.energy/s...

I also charge at home using Intelligent Octopus Go, this EV tarriff gives me off peak energy at 7p per kWh for the car and the whole house. It makes charging the Enyaq really cheap.
