Skoda Elroq

Best Medium SUV Under $60K Shortlist

Skoda Elroq

FROM $47,990

The Skoda Elroq medium SUV debuted globally in late 2024 as the brand's second dedicated electric vehicle. Built on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, it arrived in Australian showrooms in late 2025. It effectively serves as the electric successor to the popular petrol-powered Skoda Karoq. The model introduced the "Modern Solid" design language, featuring a distinctive Tech-Deck Face in place of a traditional grille.

Early Australian arrivals included the Elroq 85 Select and the flagship 130 Years Edition. These variants utilise a 77kWh usable battery and a rear-mounted motor. An entry-level Elroq 60 Select joined the local range in late 2025 to offer a more accessible price point. While the name remains consistent across global markets, its positioning varies, often competing with both small and medium electric SUVs due to its interior packaging.

The 2026 Skoda Elroq range expanded with the addition of the high-performance RS variant. This flagship model introduced all-wheel drive and increased power to the line-up. Standard features across the range include a 13-inch multimedia screen and various "Simply Clever" storage solutions. Skoda offers the model with a seven-year unlimited kilometre warranty to appeal to Australian buyers transitioning to electric power.

The line-up currently starts at $47,990 for the Elroq 60 Select and ranges through to $64,990 for the range-topping Elroq 130 Years Edition.
