  • Both the Elroq and its RS variant will feature a 79kWh battery, providing WLTP ranges of approximately 562-572 km depending on the model and body style.

  • The Elroq's interior includes a 13.0-inch touchscreen, a 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster, and optional premium features like augmented reality head-up display, premium audio, and safety systems such as an area-view camera.

  • Skoda is also updating the Enyaq RS, which will be offered in a facelifted wagon body style with a high-performance variant, sharing design elements like gloss black accents and revised bumpers.

  • The Enyaq RS, priced at around $83,990 in Australia, will continue to be a key part of Skoda’s electric offerings, with visual updates and a new body style to appeal to a broader audience.

  • The upcoming Vision 7S, also known as Skoda Space, will be a 4.9-meter-long SUV designed for family utility, sharing the Volkswagen Group MEB platform with models like the Enyaq, ID.4, and Cupra Born, with production starting in Europe in 2023 and arriving in Australia in 2027.

  • Skoda plans to introduce plug-in hybrid versions of the Superb and Kodiaq in the second half of 2026, expanding their electrified lineup further.
