Skoda teases affordable Elroq RS ahead of official debut

Skoda Elroq was officially unveiled only last year and now this affordable crossover is getting a new version. The company will expand the Elroq lineup with the introduction of a new flagship RS model. Skoda just released a teaser, offering us a sneak peek at the vehicle's sporty design, ahead of its official unveiling scheduled for early April.

The distinctive exterior of the Elroq RS features a high-gloss black front panel, known as the Tech-Deck Face, giving the new version a modern and aggressive look. The front bumper has been redesigned with a sportier central air intake. New front fender badges and aerodynamically optimized wheels with a vibrant Mamba Green accent further distinguish the RS model. The rear design seems largely unchanged, but a blacked-out bumper suggests potential updates to complete the sporty aesthetic.

The sporty theme continues inside the Elroq RS. A perforated, flat-bottom steering wheel with vRS badging immediately catches the eye, and the two-tone front seats have vRS embroidery on the headrests. The interior also includes a digital instrument cluster and a 13-inch freestanding infotainment system, providing a modern and user-friendly interface.


The specific powertrain details for the Elroq RS remain under wraps, but the current top-tier Elroq 85x model gives an idea of its potential performance. That model is equipped with an 82 kWh battery pack and a dual-motor setup that delivers 299 horsepower.

If the Elroq RS is more than just a visual upgrade, then we don't need to look further than the VW ID.4 GTX, or the Cupra Tavascan VZ for the powertrain details. The Elroq RS will likely use the same 340-hp AWD setup. But there's a possibility it might use the 322-hp powertrain from VW ID.3 GTX Performance in order to slot below the 340-hp Enyaq RS, which is no longer available to order, with new model coming sometime later this year.


The Skoda Elroq RS will be unveiled at Milan Design Week early next month and is expected to become a popular choice for consumers looking for a sporty electric crossover. Being smaller than the Enyaq RS and potentially having the same powertrain means it'll be a true joy to drive without compromising on the need for room for the entire family.
