Skoda Elroq Review: The Affordable Electric SUV That Makes Sense
The Skoda Elroq enters the mid-size electric SUV market as a compact version of the Enyaq, offering practicality and value in a refined package.
The exterior design features slim headlights, a modest grille, and angular rear styling - favoring understated elegance over flashy aesthetics. Inside, a sleek dashboard houses a 13-inch touchscreen, complemented by Skoda's signature 'Simply Clever' features like built-in umbrellas and hidden ice scrapers.
