2025 Skoda Elroq pricing: Czech EV to undercut ID.4 and Model Y
Skoda Australia has confirmed preliminary details of its upcoming Elroq electric SUV, ahead of a sales launch in September.
A pair of variants will be available at launch – the 85 Select and 130 Edition – with prices starting from $54,990 and $64,990 respectively, both before on-road costs.
That puts the European-made Elroq smack bang up against the physically larger BYD Sealion 7 (from $54,990), and undercuts the related Volkswagen ID.4 Pro ($59,990) and Tesla Model Y RWD ($58,990).

Both variants will be powered by a rear-mounted 210kW electric motor fed by an 82kWh (net) battery, claiming a 0-100km/h sprint in a near hot hatch-like 6.6 seconds and a combined WLTP driving range of 529 kilometres. Skoda also quotes an urban cycle range of 661km, again WLTP-certified.
That's more driving range than both the entry-level Sealion 7 and Model Y, and it's also quicker to triple figures than the BYD. However, the VW ID.4 Pro quotes more range and the Model Y offers quicker acceleration according to official specifications.
Skoda offers smaller battery variants overseas, as well as a dual-motor RS performance variant. While all of these are 'under study' for our market, the Czech brand's local offshoot is yet to properly confirm if and when they're coming.
Measuring 4488mm long and 1884mm wide with a 2765mm wheelbase, the Elroq matches the larger Enyaq's distance between the axles but is around 170mm shorter in overall length, making the smaller Skoda EV closer in exterior dimensions to the likes of the BYD Atto 3 (4455/1875/1615mm).
Skoda quotes a boot capacity of 470 litres with the rear seats in place, expanding to 1580 litres with them folded. This is more than an Atto 3 (440-1340L) but less than a Sealion 7 (500L) and ID.4 (543-1575L).
