2027 Skoda Elroq RS

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.

There is also a large number of safety systems such as Automated Emergency Braking, Predictive Pedestrian Protection, Blind Spot Detection, and Turn Assist, which automatically applies the brakes if the driver fails to notice oncoming traffic and is at risk of a head-on collision, Attention and Drowsiness Assist, which monitors the driver’s behavior and assesses their level of drowsiness via a range of datapoints, such as the steering inputs and interventions from Lane Assist.

2025 Skoda Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe

The debut of the refreshed Škoda Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe is approaching, and the Czech brand has released the first sketches. Both models come with better aerodynamics and a longer range.

By redesigning the front end, Škoda has optimized the aerodynamics, which had a direct impact on the range. The Enyaq remains the most aerodynamic model in the Czech manufacturer’s fleet thanks to its sloping roofline. What sets it apart from the current model are the new integrated matrix LED headlights and a new bumper, the illuminated Tech-Deck Face grille, dark chrome details on the hood, lower bumper and sills that give a premium feel, as well as the “Škoda” lettering with a Dark Chrome finish.

The Czech car manufacturer has not yet announced when the refreshed editions will debut, but it is expected to be by mid-2025.
