Skoda Elroq is a new electric SUV that sits under the larger Enyaq.
Skoda Australia have launched a drive away and finance deal. If my maths is right, if you go with their Skoda Choice finance deal, the RRP almost becomes the drive away price you pay.

Mod note

Updated repayment amounts to figures provided by ŠKODA Financial Services. OP partially copied the figures quoted by Car Expert and used them in the deal title and description. Car Expert's repayment amounts are based on $30,000 loans over 60 months. Car Expert's loans + deposits will not cover the costs of the cars. Car Expert's repayment amounts and OP's use of these figures are misleading.

    Took one for a test drive at Wollongong Škoda Dealer this morning. Very nice car and will most likely get one on a lease.

    • E5TOQUE on 17/05/2025 - 22:02

        They are not in stock yet - but they had a ‘test’ vehicle on display today (I was on a ‘interested’ contact list on the Škoda site last month) and we were allowed to test drive it 13-15km up and around town. He said it was the entry version but it definitely was the higher end model. Stock will be coming in most likely July-Sept. I have put a refundable deposit down for a 130 in Race Blue.

        Will look into it. Lease payments over 5 years on $65K work out to be $389/fn post tax with an $18k residual. that includes all extra like rego, servicing, tyres etc i think. Devil is in the detail with the inclusions you want in a lease too.

    That 'per week' repayment is an indicative based on a $30000 loan, not the actual loan amount.
    Did the calc on their own website, and weekly payments are ~$241/week for the base model.
    Their comparison rate > 10%, is a rip off actually.
    You can find better rates.

    • E5TOQUE on 17/05/2025 - 22:28

      The only thing I wish MY had was a screen at the front or HUD for speedometer but I guess they are like Apple and will release it in the next update and will call it the best Tesla they have every created 😆.

            @daleroy1234: There are videos on YouTube that show how it works, but essentially it's high beam that intelligently shuts off parts of the beam depending on what's there. So you can illuminate a dark road at night but not dazzle other drivers, but it all happens automatically as cars come into view. Hope that makes sense!

          well not to the same degree of distinction as to my Octavia RS. On my everyday drive, you can see it in action and pretty quick reactions as well. I honestly don't see it working too much better (or comparable level) in the Model Y. I have only had this for 3 days though so maybe i need to dig into settings to see if it's turned off.

          The lead the Chinese have is in battery tech.

          Their active safety systems on export markets cars are simply not up to the same level as what the Europeans are doing.

          If you watch Sandy Munro's review of VW Groups new electric motor thata fitted to the Elroq (and Enyaq) it's apparently one of the best engineered EV motors he's seen.

          I don't think the Europeans are that far behind overall.

          BYD's surprisingly not that efficient, see the new Sealion 7. Crazy high energy usage compared to what VW Group, Tesla, Hyundai, etc are doing.

      Longer range due to higher energy density, which is preferred in luxury/sports vehicles -Unfortunately, less fire safe than LFP

      *Another opinion is that China has a monopoly on LFP batteries…

      • V2L on 17/05/2025 - 23:28

        the specs aren't very 'performance', the need to look after it (charging to 80%) negates the quoted range. i'd say LFP is preferred in most circumstances unless you want a sub 4sec accleration

    lol this set off an alert I had for 'jam' because of the line: Traffic Jam Assist

    seems competitive "for a non-chinese" in overall specs/features, but no ventilated/cooled seats at 70k.

    I own a Skoda and wholeheartedly recommend the brand. I'm curious why I don't see many Skodas on Australian roads, as they're delightful European vehicles offering excellent value.

      I have a Scala and so far have done 80,000km and it's been good, the odd quirk but nothing bad.

      Would love if Skoda did a good trade in deal as most places look at the car as "unsellable" as it's not a well known brand.

      Aren't they basically Volkswagens under the skin?

        Yep, the Scala is a stretched polo with more or less the same engine and gearbox as a golf.

        I did drive a golf at the time I was looking and for $7k more I was getting less car in my opinion, also things like a 470L boot are class leading so definitely worth a look.

        Yep, all VW running gear (in the ICE models) and different cabin. We had a Kamiq for a while, absolutely terrific car.

      Loved my Octavia until the issues started popping up after 100,000km.

      Finally one day earlier this year it refused to move. Initial diagnosis was failed mechatronics unit, $4k to fix.

      Sold it to wreckers and have dived into the EV experiment. Loved the way the Enyaq drove but was missing too many features for the money, in my eyes anyway.

      • zacsg1 on 18/05/2025 - 01:18

        That's is why I'm thinking of selling in the next 12 month's, before the insurance expires and when I still have a free service for the next owner.

        This is why I didn't go for skoda. Love everything about it except cbf with silly euro breaky stuff (balance of probabilities)

      vw skoda Audi are great cars before 80k, after that you need to have great mechanic friends who knows how to fix them and get the right after market parts that are not too expensive . I have a great mechanic friend who recommended to stay away from them.

      Dieselgate for me. Enough time has probably passed that I should be over it 🤔

    “They are run by VW Group Australia in Australia“

    There’s the problem. VW notoriously difficult to deal with.

    Definitely go with the Model Y or even a Subaru hybrid or Solterra. Steer clear of a VW machine. Remember the emissions scandal?

    • angers on 18/05/2025 - 08:32

      Subaru's ICE models are a problem too once you get close to 100,000kms. The CVT is a problem and Boxer engines tend to develop an oil leak issue once the kms get up.

        My family’s last Subaru with a boxer engine was traded in at 300K and no leaking. CVTs just need to be flushed and serviced, plenty of threads about that on OzB.

        Personally I’d get the Hybrid but some prefer just Subaru ICE as they don’t have a long history of making hybrids unlike Toyota

      Scandal? Just another media beat-up. VW Engineers just showed how clever they are, which is a win in my book.

          Never owned a VW. Have some more straws to grasp at…

      Really like it. But never a VW again. Had 3.all went through warranty hell. Good cars when they worked.

    Skoda Elroq 85 Select equipment highlights:
    19-inch Regulus alloy wheels
    Keyless entry, start
    13-inch touchscreen infotainment
    Wireless App-Connect
    Apple CarPlay – Wireless
    Android Auto – Wireless
    Wireless smartphone charger incl. ventilation
    Dual-zone climate control
    Heated front seats
    Leather-wrapped steering wheel – heated
    Heated, folding, auto-dimming side mirrors
    Mode 3 (Type 2) charging cable
    1 x door-mounted umbrella

    It does not seem to have power adjusted electric front seats? That is what put me off the Kia EV3. You have to go to the top spec model to get both front seats powered - and these are electric vehicles?

    I like the Elroq but for a small to medium SUV EV, it's more expensive than it's competitors.
