The handing in the Elroq is great, Škoda let me chuck it around the test track near the factory and it was way more agile than my enyaq. It really reminded me of my Škoda Yeti back in the day. It should sell very well

An excellent complete review of what looks like an excellent car. How you don’t have many 1,000s of subscribers is beyond me. One thing I find a bit annoying with Skoda now ( they are not alone) is their option packs. The one you want for this car is the max at near £6,000. They used to have individual options - so instantly makes this expensive if the 85 model. Look forward to the next review.

[@derekshields7784]

I drive an Enyaq 85 edition which I purchased in January this year which I am really happy with but I would probably have gone for the Elroq version if it had been available, purely because it’s slightly smaller. On a side note regarding the imminent “luxury” vehicle tax being applied to EVs, I wonder if any manufacturers will offer a standard size battery on a car to keep the list price below £40k and offer a larger battery as an option ?

[@Alberto-mq7gw]

The Renault Scenic is actually a bit smaller than this car (2 cm shorter, 5 cm lower). I don't know why this Skoda Elroq would be a B segment car. The ID.3 is already a C segment car and it's quite smaller. This is a C segment SUV by any standards. Great first impressions video anyway, as usual.

[@timscott3027]

I agree and it's definitely not a little car.

[@appkazoo5925]

I don't understand why you say the Renault Scenic e-Tech is a "much bigger car" than the Skoda Elroq. Scenic is 4470mm in length, 1864mm width and 1571mm in height. Elroq is 4488mm in length, 1884mm width and 1625mm in height. The Elroq is actually a bigger car than the Scenic in all 3 measurements.

I am interested in the classification of models into A-segment, B-segment and C-segment. That's done on the external size of the car - yes? - but with ground-up EV designs we are starting to see much better interior space within each segment. I am hoping people will start choosing EVs with the interior space they need rather than how big the exterior is.

It's a great car. I really like it. The EV3 offers a bit more for the money though, as you can get the bigger battery in the cheapest trim.

I like the suspension on the Skoda cars, I have never felt that I need the dynamic chassis control, I have a couple of areas near me with 20mph and speed humps. my Enyaq has a speed limiter one area I drive along rarely as those speeded humps you have to slow to 10mph while the other area I do not need to slow down from 20mph as it takes in the speed hump easily.

Bryan, if you had to pick a winner between the Skoda Elroq and the Renault Megane E-tech which one would it be? I have really enjoyed your very informative videos, especially on these two EV's.

[@AutoEV]

The Megane drives better, the Elroq is more spacious. I you don’t need the space and you want a better drivers car, then it’s the Megane. If you need more space and better range, look at the Škoda. Not a lot in it. Or, go and look at a Renault Scenic and get the best of both worlds……🤣

If you don’t need the rear seat space, and can live with a 200 mile range in winter, the Megane. Great car. The Elroq is bigger in the rear for passengers though and will have a longer range. Don’t depends on your priorities. But to drive, the Megane takes some beating in my book.

[@willp2003]

Can the rear heated seats be controlled from the back?

[@johnhindson5316]

Personally I feel the styling is on the safe side. I prefer the Kia look but as you say, styling is very much an individual choice. One detail point about the design -- doesn't the "tech deck" shape at the front mimic the traditional Ṣ̌koda grille with the wings on either side rising slightly around the bonnet "tongue" which has the name in it? The issue I would have if I were a Skoda UK executive is that I can't see why a "standard" 2+2 family would want to buy an Enyaq anymore? Unless you regularly need the larger boot space why buy the more expensive car?

[@deansawyer3575]

Another knowledgeable and honest review Bryan. I am due to change my Kona EV in early next year and this new Skoda appears to meet most of my requirements. I have a shortlist of other cars including the Renault Scenic and Mégane and Skoda Enyaq 85. I've had a test drive in the Scenic and Enyaq, I preferred the infotainment system on the Scenic, but like the rear wheel drive of the Enyaq, I'm currently undecided about the two, but your review of the Mégane has tempted me to test it out and now the Elorq is also a nice problem to have in the mix. I would value your opinion on which one you would prefer as a daily driver, I know they all have different attributes, but purely as a daily driver that puts a smile on your face, which car out of the mix would your gut go for. Thanks Bryan.

I don't know if it was a slip of the tongue but this is NOT a B-segment car! It is a BIG car being over 4.4m long. Nowhere near a B segment car. (up to around 4.2m) That is why the EV3 is a little more impressive (4.3m) and cars like the Volvo EX30 (4.2+m/69kWh) as they are more compact but still with BIG batteries. Both are very well equipped for the money.Huge discounts available on the EX30's.. Skoda suffer from very expensive equipment packs which quickly raise the price too much. And then well above the ECS tax threshold.

This looks so good we may consider it next year; at least they’ve ditched the silly fake ‘grille’ of the Enyaq. Looks so dull compared to the Kia though, and I hope they don’t all come with that gloomy headlining.

It's a wee car! it's a big car! it's a small car! Have you tried parsing this through an AI filter to clean up the contradictory waffle?

[@eddiesearancke2214]

why do you keep calling it 'a nice little car' - it's wider than an Enyaq !

[@josefv-y8m]

Exactly, it is not a small car at all...4,47m...trunk 470/1580L...new Audi A5 Avant...4,82m...trunk 448/1396L. Even the Mercedes C-Class T has only 1510L. Due to the EV Platform it has also only 9,3m turning circle...A5 about 12m. This relativ "short" car can easily replace any estate for a family, too.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

47k for a small SUV... holy mother of god! It's a shame the mid one is only 59KW, 65KW would of been ideal. Im amazed you didnt mention the amazing Megane E-Tech as competition since you loved that car.

[@appkazoo5925]

The Megane isn't a competitor for the Elroq as it's a lot smaller. The Scenic is the Renault model that its competitor.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

@appkazoo5925 i thought he said the Scenic is quite a bit bigger?

[@appkazoo5925]

@@flaw3dgenius222 the Scenic is actually a little bit smaller than the Elroq.

[@flaw3dgenius222]

@@appkazoo5925 Fair enough, Elroq seems a great size then. Shame the Sportlines are so expensive.

£47k, they are laughing at us.

[@nicholasriley3569]

Exterior wise it has lost a bit of its Skoda DNA. Could be anything really.

[@josefv-y8m]

Hmm, this is the new Skoda design...other cars will look similiar in near future, too.

[@krishx007]

Flying chicken..😅😅

[@vbc2059]

Chinese design won apparently 😅

[@josefv-y8m]

Interesting...since NIOs Design Center is in Munich...Xiaomi SU is designed by a former BMW Designer...GWM is designed by a former Porsche Designer. No, not chinese Design wins, but European Design. Same for KIA...Peter Schreyer the former Chief Designer from Audi, changed the Design completely.

Skoda is a premium brand now at this stage 👎

[@billienomates7100]

Skoda was the thinking persons choice when they were allowed free reign over VWs parts selection and were producing better, cheaper cars with better terms and warranty than their owners. That ended in about 2014 when everything shared the exact same engine, platform and so forth so I don't think that there's a reason to care now other than the price. I can't see the reason to buy Skodas anymore either as they are more expensive than their EV competition, especially the Chinese who offer cheaper cars with better warranties and such, and they no longer market at the cheap end of the market so you are stuck with MG or Dacia. Skoda has no real appeal now.

VW are going out of business no money 😮😮😮😮😮😮

[@josefv-y8m]

No, it still makes money and no minus, but too less to be able to invest, which is needed. And VW will never go out of business, since partly owned by government. It will be for sure saved if needed, like Renault from the french government, several times in history.
