Skoda has been on a whirlwind of a recovery in recent years.

Once the butt of many playground jokes, it's not only revived itself but staged a full-scale comeback that would be worthy of a big 80s rock band scoring a number-one hit decades later.

Skoda is now a serious contender – so much so that, in some segments, it’s arguably sitting just below the premium brands but ahead of the rest of the trailing pack.

Of course, with people turning their backs on traditional family hatchbacks and saloons and switching to SUVs, Skoda hasn't been left behind.

We're left asking: when does a brand offer too many SUVs? This latest example, the new Elroq, looks worthy of such a question. After all, it's similarly proportioned and priced to Skoda’s existing Karoq SUV.

So, what’s the point?

Quite simply, it’s all-electric – in fact, that’s why it’s called the Elroq – it is, for all intents and purposes, an Electric Karoq.

There are other reasons, too: Skoda wanted to choose a new name, as the Elroq is very different from its similarly-sized Karoq sibling, inside and out.

Therefore, more appropriate comparisons are with the larger Enyaq SUV, which has just had a makeover – and that’s a good thing, too, as the Enyaqis fantastic.

Even better, the Elroq is based on the same platform as the Enyaq, so it shares much of its larger sibling’s DNA.

We’ve taken an Elroq out to see if it meets the same high standards.
