Ahead of its arrival in the UK this summer, Škoda has confirmed final pricing and specifications for the new Elroq vRS – the brand's fastest-accelerating production model to date. The new sporting flagship of the Elroq range will start from £46,560 (OTR) when order books open on mid-June.
As befits a model at the top of the Elroq range, the new vRS comes with a high specification that includes a raft of standard features. In keeping with other vRS models, the Elroq vRS is instantly recognisable as the line-up's sportiest variant. Sculpted bumpers feature a bold reflective strip across the rear, while the signature Hyper Green paint (reserved only for vRS customers) provides a standout option among a broader colour palette. New 20-inch Draconis black alloy wheels are fitted as standard, along with black exterior accents on the window trims, roof rails and mirror caps. Larger 21-inch Vision anthracite wheels are available as an option. Completing the exterior look is a striking Tech-Deck Face grille – a key feature of the brand's new Modern Solid design language – finished in gloss black with illumination as standard.
Inside, the Elroq vRS continues the theme with a sporty vRS Lounge Design Selection that is unique to the trim. The front sports seats – electrically adjustable with memory and massage function on the driver's side – offer integrated headrests for extra support through corners and are finished in soft microsuede and artificial leather material. Lime green stitching and carbon-effect inlays add visual flair, along with a three-spoke heated sports steering wheel.
In terms of technology and connectivity, the Elroq vRS features a five-inch digital cockpit display, a 13-inch central touchscreen, and an augmented reality head-up display that projects essential driving info onto the windscreen. This allows drivers to keep their eyes on the road and hands on the wheel while fully exploiting the vRS's performance potential. vRS models also come with area view camera and CANTON sound system as standard.
To ensure that the Elroq vRS delivers a driving experience that matches its striking looks, it comes as standard with adaptive DCC chassis control, with driving modes fine-tuned for both dynamic driving and refined cruising. Upgraded brakes with improved heat resistance feature large two-piston calipers for added stopping power, while sports suspension is fitted as standard.
The Elroq vRS is fitted with an all-wheel drive 84 kWh battery (79 kWh net), the largest capacity pack available in the new Elroq line-up. It delivers power to the wheels via a dual-motor set-up that has a combined output of 340 PS. Thanks to this, the new Elroq vRS is capable of sprinting from 0–62 mph in just 5.4 seconds.
Despite its strong performance, the Elroq vRS still manages a projected WLTP range of up to 339 miles and supports DC rapid charging at speeds of up to 185kW charging from 10 to 80 per cent in just 26 minutes. A standard 11kW AC home charger can recharge it fully in around eight and a half hours.
As with other vRS models in the Škoda range, the Elroq vRS isn't just about straight-line speed. It's been designed with day-to-day usability in mind, offering a 470-litre boot that expands to 1,580 litres with the rear seats folded. A virtual pedal enables hands-free tailgate opening, while a variable boot floor and net programme are also fitted as standard.
