At the end of 2024, Skoda presented the new generation Elroq EV, the first model that will be produced with a new design called “Modern Solid”. Now the Czech manufacturer is announcing the arrival of a sporty version of its electric SUV, the Elroq RS.
Skoda has released a teaser of the Elroq RS, and what we can see is that it will have a Tech-Deck Face front fascia, and it is also known that it will be available in Mamba green. The car will be officially presented on April 3 on Skoda’s YouTube channel.
There are currently no technical details about the car, and some believe it could be similar to the Enyaq RS. Skoda Elroq is available with three different battery sizes (55, 63 and 82 kWh). The Elroq 50 is powered by a single electric motor with 170 hp (125 kW) and 228 lb-ft (310 Nm) of torque, and thanks to a 55 kWh Lithium-ion battery it has a range of 230 miles (370 km). The Elroq 60 is powered by an electric motor with 204 hp (150 kW), and has a range of over 400 km thanks to a 63 kWh battery. Elroq 85 and 85x are the most powerful versions. Both versions are powered by an electric motor with 285 hp (210 kW), and thanks to the 82 kWh battery, they have a range of over 560 km.
In October 2024, Škoda presented the car with which it entered a new era of minimalist, lean and functional design, Škoda Elroq.

The facility in Mlada Boleslav is the only one in the Volkswagen Group in Europe where electric and combustion engine models are produced on the same production line, which enables the company to respond quickly to changes in the market. Therefore, part of the Škoda Octavia production was moved to the Kvasiny plant last year, in order to get more space for the production of the most affordable electric crossover with a starting price of 33,000 euros.
