The Elroq RS is powered by two electric motors delivering 340 horsepower (250 kW) and 545 Nm of torque, with all‑wheel drive.

Škoda highlights the model’s technology suite, including a 13‑inch touchscreen, hardware buttons, an RS‑styled steering wheel, adaptive and predictive cruise control, lane‑keeping assistance, a 360° Area View camera, head‑up display and augmented‑reality navigation. Standard safety features comprise advanced driver‑assist systems and automatic emergency braking. The manufacturer positions the Elroq RS as its most accessible high‑performance electric vehicle.

The event underscores Škoda's progress in electric powertrains and its effort to blend performance with practical family‑car attributes.
