Skoda Elroq vs Kia EV3 - Comparison Test - An easy choice?

[@allannielsen1546]

The EV3, please.

[@Agra3l]

Where I live and I believe most countries, even if the starting price or marketed price of each version is similar between Elroq and EV3, the Skoda will be about 5k EUR more expensive spec for spec with the same options. Most options come as standard in the Kia or are available as trim levels while in the Skoda you have a starting price but very easily rack up the price after adding even stuff which should have come as standard.

[@matthewwalker4108]

Kia for me, but they are both impressive.

[@ricco123tube]

VW group cars have a woeful warranty, so the Kia with 7 year warranty is a winner. Oh, and the Kia looks far more interesting.

Gotta go with the Kia .. i like the screen setup they have

[@orlovsskibet]

Have you sat in one? The climate control screen is blocked by the steering wheel. It is almost criminally stupid 😂😂

[@kinocchio]

@@orlovsskibet they do have physical controls for that though

[@orlovsskibet]

@@kinocchio I know, but it just felt so stupid.

[@ericedge2929]

@@orlovsskibet it actually isn't an issue in the real world - I know all of the reviews are making a big deal of it, you can still see/touch all of the actual controls, you just can't see the entire 'diagram'...meh. I've been driving one for almost 2 months and the climate system is actually great.

[@orlovsskibet]

@@ericedge2929 it is a big deal to me. I thougt it would be ok after watching youtube, but in the real world it was so annoying to me when i took it for a test drive. So yeah it was the other way around, the reviews are saw did not mention it much, but in the real world it was a big no no. And so incredibly stupid.

The Skoda front pixel headlights are identical to those of the Hyundai Inster. Pixel is Hyundai's signature design.

[@autoraiinternational]

Skoda Enyaq will get the same front end design with the facelift in early 2025.

[@davidcolin6519]

Those "simply clever" bits on the Skoda cost €1000! That's for a cable storage net and a few bits of plastic! FFS the nickel and diming that the VAG group go in for is simply ridiculous, and quite frankly annoying. In Spain, the cheapest big battery Elroq is the same price as the top spec EV3 with the big battery, but add in the "Simply clever"pack and just one of the other packs, and the Elroq starts getting VERY expensive.Add in the frankly poor 2 year guarantee, and the Elroq starts looking seriously poor in compareison with the KIA offer. I have no idea what the legacy automakers think they are doing. The world has moved on from the times when you could get away with a 2 year guarantee, yet that's all they ever seem to offer. No wonder the Koreans and Chinese are making such inroads into their markets.

What is better for tight underground parking? What are their turning circle?

[@NighthunterNyx]

Which one has heat pump? How does the software compare? Is skoda using the disaster software from VW? Is the heat pump on Skoda add on that may be less than well integrated?

[@Greatdane-qf8kd]

Here in Denmark heatpump is standard on all variants of both cars

[@stianberg5645]

I don't get the hate on how the elroq looks. In my opinion it looks great, and quite a bit better than the Kia. That said I think the Kia is the better car. Especially with the range and warranty. Both are good choices though!

I have the ev3 and it’s very quiet including at speed on the motorway. Far better than my previous Audi Q3.

[@boutlife888]

We want to see a comparison of EV3 with Elroq and receive in the first part a comparison between Elroq and Eniak or something... bigger, smaller... who remembers?

[@jkajolin]

its overal about the personal preference. if you wish to have V2L that you cannot have with MEB cars. the MEB cars have the terrible OS (which has got a lot better). MEB cars still don't really get over the air updates that often. KIA charging curve is straigh flat so you get the max charging always. MEB chars charging curve is more downward and requires to have low charge to actually get the max. both have similar batter warming abilities.

[@jiikoo2000]

Kia team: Let’s visit kindergarten and ask the kids to draw little SUV. And also borrow some grey play dough for interior.

[@lw2978]

Works for me! Kind of like a Minecraft Moonbuggy. The Elroq is just another boring generic-looking SUV in a sea of them. I think the EV3 design will stand the test of time and I've put my money where my mouth is and ordered an Air model in Frost Blue.

Very much depends on geography though. Comes standard in Sweden.

Depends on the country. Colder climbate countries get a heatpump.

[@petrmysicka]

@ the cares came out similar time (well Elroq actually earlier) and no, the lights are not the same, similar yes but what is not similar these days in car industry… Skoda lights are different though- the pixel is prolongated unless like this other car and run all over the front mask of the car.

[@TomasAngelus]

I strongly advice against buying the Kia. Kia will rip you off when you return the car. Also its much uglier than the Skoda. The driving dynamics of the Skoda are also way better.

[@davidcolin6519]

Why would you "Return the car", would that be for servicing? Having driven both VAG and Hyundai/KIA group carsa in Spain, I'd strongly dispute that. I found all VAG was to be horrendously overpriced on servicing, while both Hyundai and KIA were much more reasonable, but just as professional. Ido think that much of this is down to which market you're in, but in Spain I would not have another VAG car... EVER.

[@DavidSanchez-lp3si]

Both those cars are ugly AF. Tell kia to make them look like cars not milk cartons or boxes lpl

[@davidcolin6519]

ALL modern cars are fugly, it's because customers apparently like these ridiculous SUVs. However, I'd say that at least all the KIAs look like KIAs, whereas all the VAG cars seem to all look the same. I admit that this is probably because I can't be bothered with VAG cars, so my inability to discern the differences may be down to being completely uninterested.

[@telmoazevedo8958]

Both terrible terrible car companies. Hyundai can still achieve to be worse than vw. How do these companies manage to keep a straight face? How do these youtubers do such superficial reviews?
