Škoda launches the all-electric 335hp Elroq RS from €53,350

Overview

Škoda has revealed its most powerful and fastest-accelerating production model to date: the all-new Elroq RS. Debuting at Milan Design Week 2025, this electric compact SUV becomes the new flagship of Škoda’s RS lineup, setting a high bar for performance and design in the brand’s EV portfolio.

The Elroq RS delivers 250 kW (335 bhp) via dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds. A high-capacity 84 kWh battery enables a WLTP-rated range of over 550 km, while ultra-fast DC charging of up to 185 kW allows a 10–80% top-up in around 26 minutes.

Styling features include Škoda’s new Modern Solid design language, a high-gloss Tech-Deck Face, black RS exterior accents, and exclusive alloy wheels up to 21 inches. Matrix LED headlights, dynamic LED rear lights, and animated lighting sequences add a premium finish. Inside, RS-specific Suedia upholstery, optional massage seats, and standard Dynamic Chassis Control offer a blend of sportiness and comfort.

John Donegan, Brand Director at Škoda Ireland, commented: “The Elroq RS is now available to order, with prices starting from €53,350 – excluding delivery, but inclusive of the VRT rebate and SEAI grant. Customers placing early orders can expect delivery from August. The Elroq RS offers exceptional value when you consider its performance and high level of specification. To make the package even more compelling, 0.9% PCP finance is available for a limited time.”
