A good all-round car for anyone who can cough up €45,000. Essentially the proverbial jack-of-all-trades!

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.

First electric buy, so glad we chose the Elroq. Everything is so intuitive, car very spacious comfortable and nicely appointed, everything just feels right. Turning circle of 9.3M is so useful for such a largish car. Only small gripe is it's has quite a bit of road noise at 100KPH plus, absolutely fine below .

EV built for 80 km/h roads; range is very disappointing if you use the highway daily. You won't find this in the specifications. Which means in hindsight it wasn't the right choice.
Comfort fine.
Car catches a lot of wind; a lot of wind noise/whistling.
It's a shame that you have to reset a number of functions every time you start; no automatic memory.
