Hot new Elroq vRS is Skoda's fastest car ever

OFFICIAL Electric SUV's 335bhp dual-motor powertrain is good for 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds

THE all-new Skoda Elroq vRS was first teased only last week, but now the covers have been taken off to reveal the firm's smallest and fastest vRS model. Unveiled at Milan Design Week 2025, the car gets an athletic makeover, and dual electric motors for all-wheel drive.

Probably of greatest significance is what's under the metal. The Elroq has been referred to as an Enyaq in all but boot space; that is, it shares much – including its platform and wheelbase - with its big brother, sacrificing little more than some cargo capacity. And the same is true of the vRS.

The Elroq vRS has the same 335bhp, dual-motor powertrain and 84kWh (79kWh usable) battery as the hottest Enyaq. Yet the lighter Elroq accelerates from 0-62mph in 5.4 seconds - 0.1 seconds faster than the Enyaq. Both cars get an electronically limited top speed of 111mph.
