Skoda Auto has officially unveiled the Elroq vRS, the most powerful and dynamic version of its all-electric compact SUV, at Milan Design Week 2025. As the brand’s first EV to fully embrace the new Modern Solid design language, the Elroq vRS redefines electric performance and design in the compact SUV space.
Power Meets Precision: 340 PS, All-Wheel Drive, and Record Acceleration
At the heart of the Elroq vRS is a dual-motor AWD system delivering a total output of 340 PS (250 kW), making it the fastest accelerating Skoda production model to date. This electrified powerhouse sprints from 0 to 62 mph in just 5.4 seconds, with a top speed of 111 mph, blending sporty excitement with everyday usability.
An 84 kWh high-voltage battery (net capacity: 79 kWh) provides an impressive WLTP range of over 340 miles, while ultra-fast DC charging at up to 185 kW enables a 10–80% charge in around 26 minutes. Standard 11 kW AC charging covers a full recharge overnight.
Striking Presence with vRS Signature Styling
From the outside, the Elroq vRS exudes confidence and athleticism. Black accents, exclusive 21-inch Aero alloy wheels, and a high-gloss Tech-Deck Face with vertical LED “eyelashes” make an unmistakable first impression. As night falls, the LED Matrix beam headlights and animated Coming/Leaving Home light show add a futuristic flair.
Unique vRS elements—like the Hyper Green paint option, black roof rails, and full-width rear reflector—elevate the SUV’s visual aggression while maintaining Skoda’s signature practicality.
Driver-Focused Cabin with vRS Lounge Atmosphere
Inside, the Elroq vRS features the exclusive vRS Lounge Design Selection, combining black microsuede upholstery with lime green contrast stitching and carbon-look trim. The three-spoke heated sports steering wheel, stainless-steel pedals, and sport seats with massage, memory, and lumbar support create a premium, performance-focused ambiance.
The cockpit features a 13-inch infotainment display and 5-inch Digital Cockpit, both with vRS-specific graphics. A CANTON 12-speaker sound system (675 W), Phone Box with 15 W wireless charging, and four fast-charging USB-C ports complete the tech-rich interior. Practicality remains top-tier with a 470–1,580-litre boot, electrically operated tailgate, and clever features like a QR-coded virtual guide.
Refined Dynamics with Adaptive Chassis Control (DCC)
The Elroq vRS comes standard with a sports suspension, lowered by 15 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear, supported by a recalibrated steering setup for a sharper response. Optional DCC adaptive chassis control unlocks up to 15 shock absorber parameters for customizable comfort and performance.
Skoda has also enhanced braking with two-piston front calipers, ensuring confident stopping power to match the increased performance. Drivers can also personalize their sound experience with selectable ‘Sport’ and ‘Futuristic’ drive sounds.
Advanced Safety and Smart Features, Standard
As Skoda’s tech flagship, the Elroq vRS comes packed with the latest Travel Assist system, featuring Adaptive Lane Assist, Predictive Cruise Control, Emergency Assist, Blind Spot Detection, and real-time swarm data. Also standard are Keyless Entry, Walk-Away Locking, and the Open-On-Approach function.
Skoda’s commitment to intelligent mobility continues with Remote Park Assist and Trained Parking via the MySkoda app, allowing drivers to control parking via smartphone from outside the vehicle.
Seamless Charging and Future Mobility with Power Pass
Skoda simplifies EV ownership with Power Pass, giving customers access to over 800,000 charging stations across Europe. Plug & Charge support enables effortless DC charging with automatic authentication.
Conclusion: The Elroq vRS Is Skoda’s Boldest EV Yet
With cutting-edge design, thrilling performance, and intelligent technology, the Elroq vRS isn’t just a high-performance EV—it’s the next evolutionary step in Skoda’s vRS legacy. As the fastest charging and quickest accelerating model in Skoda’s lineup, it offers a compelling blend of daily usability, sporty style, and eco-conscious innovation.
