Škoda’s new electric beast doesn’t just purr—it sprints, flexes, and massages your spine. Meet the Elroq RS: part SUV, part spaceship, all attitude.
Mladá Boleslav – Milan Design Week might be known for haute couture and art installations, but this year, it got upstaged by a Czech electric SUV with 250 kW under the hood and a black-on-black attitude that says, “I woke up fast and chose violence.”
Škoda’s all-new Elroq RS has officially arrived—straight from the digital world premiere to the cobbled catwalks of Milan. It’s the first Škoda to fully embrace the brand’s “Modern Solid” design language, though if you ask us, “Modern Savage” might be more appropriate.
Boasting all-wheel drive, a sprint time of 5.4 seconds to 100 km/h, and DC fast charging up to 185 kW, the Elroq RS doesn’t just break performance records for the brand—it breaks a sweat for no one. In fact, it might charge faster than most people find parking.
Built for speed, but dressed for the spotlight, the Elroq RS shows up with exclusive RS alloy wheels (up to 21 inches of “get-outta-my-way” energy), black-painted accessories, and a Mamba Green paint option that screams, “Yes, I am the main character.”
Inside, it’s part racecar, part spa day. With Suedia microfibre, lime green stitching, and massage seats as standard, it’s less “compact SUV” and more “five-star hotel that can do 180 km/h.” And yes, there’s an optional Advanced Package that adds sunshades and a head-up display with Augmented Reality. Because apparently, regular reality just isn’t posh enough anymore.
But don’t be fooled by the luxury touches—the Elroq RS still knows how to flex. With sports suspension (lowered, naturally), adaptive chassis (DCC), and progressive steering, it handles like a hot hatch on a double espresso. The brakes? Upgraded. The modes? Customizable. The sound? Choose between “Sport” and “Futuristic,” or just play CANTON’s 675-watt system loud enough to drown out your existential dread.
And in case you were worried this beast might get a little… too intelligent, don’t fret—it comes with Remote Park Assist, which means you can now parallel park your car with your smartphone while standing outside and pretending you’re Tony Stark.
Still not enough tech? Try four USB-C ports (because three is for amateurs), wireless charging with cooling (because your phone deserves it), and swarm-data-enabled Travel Assist, which sounds a lot cooler than “robot overlords guiding your commute.”
Škoda is even leaning into fashion: they’ve teamed up with iconic Czech shoe brand Botas for a line of Elroq-inspired kicks. So now your car and your feet can both make bold, lime-stitched statements.
The Verdict:
The Elroq RS is more than just Škoda’s fastest-accelerating model ever. It’s a meticulously engineered contradiction: brutally fast, quietly electric, aggressively stylish, and weirdly relaxing. In short, it’s what happens when a family SUV goes to therapy and comes back a high-performance lifestyle guru.
And yes, it’ll show you a light show when you walk up to it. Because even an SUV needs a dramatic entrance.
Coming to a charging station—and fashion runway—near you.
