In what is expected to be the most “dynamic Elroq” model yet, the Czech firm has released an image of the powerful motor in its trademark bright green with black trim elements.
Although no technical details have been confirmed, it’s understood the new car will have some semblance to the Volkswagen ID 3 and Cupra Born.
The new Skoda could be fit with a AP550 motor on the rear axle, which provides up to 322bhp, making it only marginally less powerful than the Skoda Enyaq vRS.
Predictions also suggest that the latest Eroq will outpace the ICE Skoda Octavia vRS reaching 62mph from rest in under six seconds.
Referring to the vRS, CEO Klaus Zellmer told Autocar: “This is something that is our DNA,” he said of the 24-year-old sub-brand.
“We will keep it and you can’t neglect that. You cannot get rid of that.”
This comes just days after the car brand revealed the first look at its new seven-seater electric flagship that’s set to rival a Kia family favourite.
Skoda teased its new motor earlier this week, due in 2026, which will come with a whopping 435-mile range.
Aiming to rival other large battery-powered family crossovers like the Kia EV9, the new model was shown in a video at the Czech manufacturer’s annual company results meeting.
The stunning motor appeared with slimline headlights and LED-enabled lighting graphics, echoing the newer modern designs seen across EVs today.
An illuminated grille and Skoda branding spelled out in letters adorn the front of the car, indicating a new step forward in the carmaker’s branding, reports magazine Car.
The seven-seater EV is expected to top Skoda’s electric car range and will likely undercut a number of its rivals, according to insiders.
Skoda’s electric models are being rolled out alongside its existing combustion models – for example its 2025 Elroq EV acts as an electric substitute to the 2025 Kaoq compact crossover.
The automaker has confirmed its new EV will be “around 4.9 metres” in length, will offer “flexibility and enormous space”, and is predicted to top out at around 340bhp.
Families wanting to go electric will likely be attracted to the new model, given its ability to pack three rows of seating into a more environmentally sustainable motor than its combustion competitors.
This will place it as a battery-electric alternative to the Skoda Kodiaq, and it’s expected to have a battery size of up to 86kWh, with both single and dual-motor options.
