Inovev forecasts 75,000 units per year of the new Skoda Elroq SUV
- The Czech brand Skoda has unveiled its battery electric C-segment SUV, the Elroq, which completes its range of electric-powered SUVs currently made up of the Enyaq and Enyaq coupe D-segment SUVs.
- Skoda is achieving great success with its various combustion engine SUVs Kamiq (B-segment), Karoq (C-segment) and Kodiaq (D-segment) which will each sell at around 85,000 units worldwide in 2023. The battery electric SUV Enyaq achieved a comparable success, with just over 80,000 units sold last year, which represents a significant volume for a battery electric model. The Czech carmaker therefore does not have too much to fear by declining its range of electric SUVs downwards, with the new Elroq. Inovev forecasts 75,000 annual sales which should not cannibalize sales of the Karoq too much, like the Enyaq did not cannibalize Kodiaq sales too much. The Skoda Elroq will be assembled at the Czech site in Mlada Boleslav, like the Skoda Fabia, Kamiq, Scala, Octavia, Enyaq.
- The Skoda Elroq is 16 cm shorter than the Enyaq (4.49 m versus 4.65 m) but 4 cm taller (1.66 m versus 1.62 m). It will compete the Peugeot e-3008 (4.54 m) and Renault Scenic E-Tech (4.47 m).
- Its electric motor delivers 170 hp (125 kW), 204 hp (150 kW) or 285 hp (210 kW) with three different batteries capacities: 55 kWh, 63 kWh or 82 kWh, which allows a range of more than 560 km according to the WLTP standard with the 82 kWh battery. The first two versions are rear-wheel drive while the third is all-wheel drive.
