Skoda unveiled its second electric car - the Elroq - in a lavish, no expense spared, river-based party in Prague back in 2024. It was billed as a vitally important model for the Czech manufacturer and was offered with a choice of battery sizes and a driving range of up to 350 miles on a single charge.

Buyers could choose between the Elroq 60 or 85 with battery capacities to match (sort of). For example, the Elroq 60 has a 63kWh unit and the Elroq 85 features the larger 82kWh unit. Power outputs range from 204 to 286PS with the Elroq 85 able to tick off the 0-62mph dash in just 6.6 seconds.

All cars have rear-mounted electric motors for rear-wheel drive and the Elroq was sold in trims called SE L, Edition and SportLine, all of which can be matched to either battery. But Skoda has just upped the ante with the arrival of the performance-focused Elroq vRS.

And this is where the fun really begins as the Elroq vRS with a larger 84kWh battery delivers 340PS via a dual-motor all-wheel drive system, making it Skoda’s quickest production model ever with a 0-62mph sprint time of just 5.4 seconds. Despite the blistering pace, it achieves a combined 339 miles of range. And it was the high-powered Elroq vRS that we tested on a varied road route through south and mid-Wales.
