€3,400 discount. Barely introduced, the Skoda Elroq is already being heavily discounted!

Generally, manufacturers wait a bit before offering significant discounts on their new models, but not Skoda!

Seeing a Skoda Elroq 50 offered in a long-term lease for 259 euros per month is quite surprising because the vehicle is anything but a low-end electric car; quite the opposite. This is primarily the Czech manufacturer’s first “Electric Native” SUV, a sibling to Volkswagen. A car designed and developed to be exclusively electric. A unique technological choice that allows for the optimization of every part of the vehicle for its propulsion. This makes a huge difference compared to multi-motor models that must make some compromises to switch from gasoline to electricity.

Elroq especially introduces Skoda’s new Modern Solid design, which is set to become the brand’s visual signature. A very balanced mix of robustness and modernity that hits the mark. We are far from the old Fabia and Octavia! Its standard equipment includes 19-inch wheels, a rearview camera, and a 13-inch infotainment system with SmartLink. With a starting price of 33,300 euros in France, before deducting the ecological bonus for which it is eligible, its equipment-to-price ratio will inevitably be its main asset. And one must admit it looks good!

Skoda encourages leasing rather than buying!

The entry-level version Elroq 50 has a powertrain of 125 kW, allowing it to accelerate from 0 to 100 km/h in 9 seconds, and features a 52 kWh battery that offers a respectable range of 372 km in the mixed WLTP cycle. We repeat, it is a modern and well-equipped model. But let’s return to this leasing offer that caught our eye.

Skoda is offering the Elroq in a 37-month long-term lease for 30,000 euros, with a first increased payment of 3,500 euros after the bonus deduction, followed by 36 monthly payments of 259 euros. This results in 12,824 euros spent over 37 months, which is around 40% of the new vehicle’s value for driving a stylish, next-generation electric car! Conditions typically found on end-of-life vehicles or unsellable trims. We checked, there are no traps, no conversion bonuses or hidden increased bonuses. The warranty, maintenance, and assistance are included, allowing for worry-free driving. No, the secret lies in a Skoda discount of 3,400 euros valid from October 14 to December 31, 2024, deducted from the catalog price. Skoda chooses to prioritize leasing over outright sales, and they do it very well.
