Getting my Elroq 85 in August – range, comfort and owner questions
Hi everyone!
We’ll soon be picking up our Skoda Elroq 85 on a long-term lease at the beginning of August. It’s a Clever trim with the Lodge interior, and it’s a stock vehicle produced earlier this year (so not the MY2027 version).
I’m really excited about moving from an almost 10-year-old manual diesel car to a very modern EV. I’ve done a lot of research already, but I still have a few questions that I’d love to ask people who use the car every day.
1 - What real-world range are you getting on the highway at 110 km/h and 130 km/h with normal use (A/C in summer, heating in winter), between 80% and 10% battery?
2 - I know my version doesn’t include one-pedal driving or Side Assist. How does Traffic Jam Assist actually work? Does it perform complete stops using the brakes?
3 - What essential accessories for this vehicle (or EVs in general) would you recommend buying?
4 - During the 45-minute test drive I had, I was really impressed by the driving comfort (road noise, lack of vibrations, etc.). We tested a model with 20" wheels, but the one we’re getting has 19" wheels. Is the difference between the two noticeable?
5 - More generally, for people coming from an ICE vehicle, what do you appreciate the most about this car? And for people who already came from another EV, what do you like most about this specific model?
Thanks in advance for your feedback!
