VW ID.4 owner checks out the Skoda Elroq electric SUV in Europe

With the same wheelbase and shorter length than the Skoda Enyaq, the boot volume is smaller. And the rear room felt similar to what I had in my previous car, the Skoda Karoq.

BHPian StarrySky recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I had a look at the Elroq when it was on display at the local dealership. It really is a good-looking car from all sides, and I like it better than the Enyaq.

The difference with the Enyaq mainly seems to be the shorter length, as according to specifications the wheelbase and interior dimensions are the same. The interior is literally a carbon-copy of the Enyaq, except for the new steering wheel (from the new Kodiaq) with Skoda written across it. The interior quality also felt similar to the Enyaq (from memory, I didn't check the Enyaq on the same day).

With the same wheelbase and shorter length than the Enyaq the boot volume is smaller, but I expected the rear legroom to be similar. But to my surprise, the legroom at the back is smaller than I expected. Again, I didn't check an Enyaq on the same day, but my car is the Enyaq's cousin ID.4 and it has far more legroom at the back. Elroq's rear room felt similar to what I had in my previous car, the Karoq, which is a smaller car than the Elroq! By the way, the rear quarter-glass reminded me of the Karoq!

The underthigh support is good in front and acceptable at the back. The rear seat has this protruding part for extra support as you can see in this press image. I can guess why Skoda may have designed it this way, but it fouled with my seating comfort. The rear seat position is quite upright.

Comparing the pricing for the Elroq 85 Style and Enyaq 85 Style Businessline here, there is a difference of about 6000€, but the Enyaq is better equipped. Even with similar features, there is a healthy difference in price. In terms of motors or battery or charging specs there is no difference. I think the Elroq will definitely take some sales away from Enyaq/ID.4/ID.5.

When I was evaluating the Enyaq/ID.4 in 2021, the Enyaq was priced where the Elroq is today. What a difference a few years have made!
