The new Skoda Kodiaq, new Superb, Octavia RS, Enyaq EV, Elroq midsize electric SUV and Vision S SUV concept will also grace the stage. While most of these models have already been discussed, let’s take a closer look at key details of the Skoda Elroq EV and Vision 7S concept. 

Skoda Elroq EV 

Skoda Elroq EV marked debut of the brand’s ‘Modern Solid’ design language with its global unveiled in late 2024. In the company’s global product lineup, this EV sits between the Epiq compact electric SUV and the flagship Enyaq iV. The Elroq EV has been built on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB architecture that also underpins the Volkswagen ID3 and several VW and Audi cars. 

Measuring 4.49 metres in length, the Skoda Elroq EV is offered with three battery packs – 52kWh, 59kWh and 77kWh – delivering claimed ranges of over 370km, over 385km and over 560km (WLTP), respectively. In its top-spec version, the electric SUV accelerates 0 to 100kmph in 6.6 seconds and attains a top-speed of 180kmph. 

The 52kWh and 59kWh batteries can be charged from 10 percent to 80 percent in 25 minutes, while the larger 77kWh battery pack achieves a full charge in 28 minutes via a 175kW charger. The 77kWh battery version can also be had with the dual motor and AWD setup. As of now, the carmaker has no plan to bring in the Skoda Elroq EV in India. Even if its on the launch radar, this midsize electric SUV will go up against the Tata Curvv EV and the upcoming Maruti e Vitara, Hyundai Crea Electric and Mahindra BE 6.
