Škoda Elroq vRS pricing to begin from £46,650 with summer 2025 deliveries

Škoda Elroq vRS pricing will start from £46,650 when order books open in June this year.

The first deliveries of the Czech carmaker’s compact performance SUV are set to be made during the following summer months.

The Elroq vRS is among the most powerful production cars Škoda has ever made, thanks to a twin-motor configuration delivering a 0-62mph time of 5.4 seconds and 335bhp. That’s 52bhp more than the Elroq 85, which was – up to now – the most powerful model in the Elroq line-up. While both cars share the same 84kWh battery, the Elroq vRS has a shorter range of 340 miles due to its performance credentials.

To separate it from the standard Elroq models, the Škoda Elroq vRS gets 21-inch aero wheels, lowered suspension, vRS-only black exterior detailing, and the option of the vRS-only ‘Hyper Green’ paint job. Given the vRS is the top-tier Elroq, it benefits from a 12-speaker Canton sound system, an augmented driver’s head-up display, and fast-charging USB-C ports front and rear as standard.

Further standard kit includes a three-spoke steering wheel, tri-zone climate control, carbon fibre-effect trim, and microfibre seats with contrasting ‘Hyper Green’ stitching. Meanwhile, a 13-inch touchscreen with vRS logos dominates the centre of the dashboard.

Despite its sporty credentials, the Elroq vRS remains a practical choice thanks to its five seat full-capacity, standard all-wheel-drive lifted from the larger Škoda Enyaq vRS, and up to 1,580 litres of boot space with the rear seats down. In terms of cost, Škoda Elroq pricing is slightly higher than the Elroq 85, which has a starting price of £41,600.

The Elroq vRS is the latest in a long-line of electrified Škodas, which can be traced back to the turn of the 20th century. The performance-focused vRS line emerged with the Octavia vRS and Fabia during the brand’s re-birth under Volkswagen ownership during the 2000s. The highly-acclaimed Enyaq was the first all-electric Škoda to wear the vRS logo when it debuted at the start of 2023.

While a vRS version of the recently-updated Enyaq is expected to join the Elroq vRS in the future, Škoda has yet to announce any further additions to its all-electric vRS line-up.
