I'm trying to get some practical info on the Elroq as I'm considering it as my next car. Out of curiosity, how much real world range are you guys getting? Do you own a 60 or 85? Does anyone ever get to 500+ km of real world range?
Après 4 ans avec une VW ID.3 Pro S, passage à une Skoda Elroq 85x en vert Timiano 😍
Vorrei avere un oggetto di questo tipo per proteggere l sogli di carico del bagagliaio. Sapete se esiste per la Elroq ? Questo in foto é per EV3. Lo userei principalmente per quando carico sci e zaini, corde e in generale attrezzature sportive.
I get to choose a company car again. Right now, I’m driving a Cupra Leon ST 1.5 eTSI with 150 PS. The Cupra is fine on its own. It’s sometimes a little too long for city driving but it handles well in all conditions.
My driving profile:
- 21 km one way to work
- About 800 km across Germany twice a year
- Occasionally 250 km one way
- Cruising speed on the highway around 160 km/h
- Annual mileage: 20,000 km
Must-haves:
- Trailer hitch (only for trailers I’m allowed to tow with a Class B license)
- Plus package or its equivalent features
My ideal vehicle:
- Sportline 85
- Trailer hitch
= Total price: 52,060 €
Yesterday, my boss gave me a guideline: I should ideally stay under a gross list price of 50,000 €.
So the following combinations remain:
- Sportline 60, custom color, trailer hitch - 47,560 €
- Selection 85, Plus Package, trailer Hitch - 49.600 €
- Sportline 60, custom color, Advanced Package, trailer hitch - 49.580 €
- Selection 60, custom color, custom wheels, Advanced Package, Winter Package, trailer hitch - €49,620
- Selection 85, custom color, Plus Package, trailer hitch - €50,380
I haven’t test-driven an Elroq yet because none of the dealerships in this region have one in stock.
My questions for you:
- The power-to-weight ratio of the 65 is slightly lower than that of my Cupra. Is that noticeable in everyday driving? Will the 65 still feel (more) responsive?
- How does it handle on the highway? I’m aware that I’ll have to charge more often when driving faster - but that doesn’t bother me much. I take a short break every 250 km or so anyway. Above 130 km/h, the 65 is supposed to accelerate about the same as my Cupra - is that true?
- What do you think of the visual differences between the Sportline and Selection models? I have to admit that, to me, the differences aren't as noticeable as I thought they'd be - at least in pictures.
- How do you feel about the 20“ tires and the lowered suspension in everyday driving? Do you find them more of a nuisance? On the other hand: Are the 19” tires significantly more comfortable?
- And: Based on my driving profile and requirements, which combination would you choose?
// Edit: Our winters tend to be mild. If there’s any significant snow or ice here at all, it doesn’t last long.
