The new model year of Skoda‘s compact electric SUV, the Elroq, stands out because of a key aesthetic decision in its success.
Sometimes, success depends on very little. In the case of a car, it might be limited to designing a body element, a wheel, or a profile that is either too bland or too bold. And in a time when purchasing power is low, each manufacturer must do their utmost to enhance their entry-level offer.
What will the customer get for the least amount of money? Certainly, negotiation can later add extras that aren’t truly extras—an optional color doesn’t add to the production cost—but the customer is happy.
But there are also customers who want no other gift than a discount, because their budget is very tight. Therefore, the base product must be highly attractive. And here, we think Skoda could have done better with its new Elroq. It only needed a small change, but there has been a realization…

A new free color that changes everything?
Let’s be direct: Skoda has updated the standard color of the Elroq in its new model year. The previous light blue, not very deep, has been replaced by a more intense and assertive Energy Blue.
It may seem minor, but this change could potentially revolutionize sales.
Other than that, there’s no change for the entry-level Elroq City 50, which features a 50 kWh battery delivering 170 horsepower and a range of 375 km. It’s a minor update, but it provides 1 km more of autonomy than the previous model year.
And you, are you sensitive to this color change? With a price below 30,000 euros, after subtracting the 4100 euros CEE bonus, this electric SUV remains highly attractive.
