Overall, owners tend to view the Skoda Elroq positively as a well-equipped, comfortable and practical electric SUV that delivers good value and an intuitive, user-friendly layout. Typical praise highlights spaciousness, ride comfort and thoughtful design, while common negatives include occasional software/infotainment glitches, real-world range that can disappoint on regular highway use, and noticeable wind or road noise at higher speeds plus the need to reset some settings after start-up. Feedback on software reliability and range is mixed and seems to depend on driving patterns, so checking real-world range and software behavior for your typical use is advisable.

I drove the Cupra Tavascan and the Škoda Elroq, and after a test drive I ultimately chose the Škoda Elroq 85 Business Edition Advanced. I am very satisfied with the Škoda Elroq Business Edition Advanced. The car drives quietly and smoothly and feels nicely spacious. The controls are clear and the car has many useful features. All in all a pleasant and comfortable car that I enjoy driving. After a 7,200 km tour through Spain I'm still very satisfied with the Škoda.

The Skoda Elroq is more maneuverable in the city, easier to park than a Tesla, it doesn’t suffer from curbs that sometimes touch the front, it handles steep, poorly made garage ramps without problems, uses traditional distance sensors that are very reliable, and it’s a European product.

For me personally, compared directly with the ID4 "GTX", the Elroq is the slightly more mature and better-thought-out car for everyday use. It offers better ride comfort, software that runs a bit more smoothly for me, and by far the nicer design.
