In terms of design, the Elroq RS introduces the new Modern Solid design language to our RS portfolio.

First public appearance at Milan Design Week 2025

The sporty top version of the all-electric compact SUV, which is the first Škoda production model to fully implement the new Modern Solid design language, will be part of the Milan Design Week 2025. Following its digital world premiere, it will be showcased at the event in Italy from 8 to 13 April, marking the first public appearance of the Škoda Elroq RS. At the venue, the new model will be featured along a pathway surrounded by animal and plant sculptures by Italian artist and designer Marcantonio, reflecting Škoda’s campaign theme and metaphors around the car. Visitors can discover various landscapes and interactions on a little road trip. In collaboration with the Czech shoe manufacturer Botas, limited-edition shoe collections inspired by the design and materials of the Škoda Elroq will be presented.

84 kWh battery, electric range of over 550 kilometres, fast charging at up to 185 kW

In the Škoda Elroq RS, the electric motors – on the front axle and on the rear axle – develop a total output of 250 kW and support all-wheel drive. The car accelerates from 0 to 100  km/h in 5.4 seconds, making it Škoda’s fastest accelerating production model to date, with a top speed of 180  km/h. The high-voltage battery has a capacity of 84  kWh (79 kWh net), enabling a maximum electric range of more than 550 kilometres on the WLTP cycle. Charging rates of up to 185 kW at DC fast-charging stations enable the battery to recharge from 10 to 80 per cent in around 26 minutes. AC charging at 11 kW takes the battery from 0 to 100 per cent in eight hours.

Sports chassis and LED Matrix beam headlights as standard, exclusive alloy wheels

Black exterior details and exclusive alloy wheels up to 21 inches in size underline the car’s dynamic appearance. The sports chassis and progressive steering make for excellent driving dynamics in any situation. The extensive standard equipment includes cutting-edge LED Matrix beam headlights and LED rear lights with dynamic indicators. An electrically adjustable driver’s seat with massage function also comes as standard. It is available for the front passenger as part of the optional Maxx Package.

Modern Solid design language with Tech-Deck Face and Light Band

Like all Elroq models, the RS variant is characterised by the new high-gloss black Tech-Deck Face accommodating multiple sensors, including radar. The Light Band composed of vertical “eyelashes” comes as standard, as do the LED Matrix beam headlights. Their four-eye look is a hallmark of the Škoda SUV range. LED rear lights with dynamic indicators are also included as standard. As part of the Coming/Leaving Home animation, also standard, the Light Band creates a light show when the driver locks or unlocks the car or just approaches it with the key in their pocket. The illuminated segments gradually light up when the vehicle is unlocked and slowly fade when it is locked.

Hallmark RS style: black accents

The characteristic visual RS features contribute to the dynamic appearance of the exterior design. They include the side window trim, roof rails, bonnet and tailgate lettering and the wing mirror caps, all finished in black. The front and rear bumper with the distinctive full-width reflector strip are RS-specific, and the front wings are adorned with RS badges. The alloy wheels with Aero trims come in sizes up to 21 inches and are exclusive to the Elroq RS. The car can be ordered in all colours available for the model series as well as the RS-specific Mamba Green finish. The SunSet tinted rear and rear side windows and acoustic side windows ensure a sleek look as well as comfort. Tow bar preparation is included as standard, and an electric release is available as an option.

Specific Design Selection for the interior

The interior of the Škoda Elroq RS is characterised by the exclusive Design Selection RS Lounge, which is mostly black. It features Suedia microfibre upholstery with lime green contrast stitching and a carbon-look décor. The three-spoke heated sports steering wheel is covered in perforated leather. It too comes with lime-green stitching along with an RS badge. Heated front sports seats with integrated head restraints and stainless-steel pedal covers complement the dynamic appeal in the interior. The driver’s seat is electrically adjustable and offers a massage and memory function as well as lumbar support as standard. The optional Maxx package adds this electric seat adjustment together with the massage and memory functions to the front passenger seat. The 3-zone Climatronic air conditioning is part of this equipment package as well. Mechanical sunshades for the rear side windows are included in the optional Advanced package.

13-inch infotainment display and Augmented Reality head-up display

The 5-inch Digital Cockpit and the 13-inch infotainment display come as standard. The head up display with Augmented Reality is part of the optional Advanced package. All include RS-specific graphics. The heaters button on the infotainment screen activates or deactivates up to four heating functions at once. The Škoda Elroq RS comes with four fast-charging USB-C ports with an output of up to 45 W as standard. In addition, the Phone Box with wireless charging and ventilation offers up to 15 W of charging power. The 12-speaker CANTON sound system, optionally available as part of the Advanced package, delivers a total output of 675 W. The standard electrically operated tailgate with Virtual Pedal provides easy and convenient access to the 470- to 1,580-litre luggage compartment. One of the brand-specific Simply Clever features of the Škoda Elroq RS is the QR code in the boot. It can be used to easily access operating instructions and videos about various boot functions on a smartphone or tablet.

Lowered sports suspension with specific tuning

The Škoda Elroq RS is equipped with a sports suspension lowered by 15 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear as standard. A new steering set-up takes into account the specific tuning of the RS chassis to create a sportier driving feel. Driving Mode Select also offers a special traction mode tailored to the all-wheel drive. The DCC adaptive chassis is available as an option. It features reconfigured driving modes designed for even better comfort. The specific DCC adaptive chassis settings for the Elroq RS are tailored to the more compact body dimensions. The RS version allows a wide range of shock absorber settings, with up to 15 adjustable parameters in Individual mode. Due to the increased output, the RS variant has more powerful brakes on the front axle with two-piston callipers. Two external sounds, Sport and Futuristic, can be selected via the infotainment menu.

The latest version of Travel Assist and KESSY Advanced as standard

Comprehensive connectivity features in the Škoda Elroq RS enable numerous intelligent safety and assistance systems. The latest version of Travel Assist, which comes as standard, combines Adaptive Lane Assist, Predictive Adaptive Cruise Control, Traffic Jam Assist, Emergency Assist and Side Assist. It features the use of online swarm data as standard. KESSY Advanced is also included as standard. With its Open-On-Approach function the system unlocks the doors and tailgate when the key holder comes within 1.5 metres of the car. Walk-Away Locking automatically locks the Elroq RS when the key is moved more than 2.5 metres away from the car. The navigation system provides real-time online alerts on accidents, breakdowns and slippery road conditions in the immediate vicinity.  

Clever parking via smartphone, plus Powerpass support

The upgraded MyŠkoda app supports new functions for the optional Intelligent Park Assist. Remote Park Assist allows the vehicle to automatically enter parallel and perpendicular parking spaces while the owner controls the manoeuvre via the MyŠkoda app on their smartphone. The Bluetooth-based system requires the owner to stand next to the vehicle while holding the key. After selecting the desired type of manoeuvre, the Elroq RS autonomously handles steering, braking and movement. The Remote Trained Parking feature is also controlled via the MyŠkoda app. When the vehicle reaches one of up to five previously stored approaches to parking locations, it can drive itself to the desired position automatically. Meanwhile the owner, rather than sitting in the vehicle, will start and monitor the process on their smartphone.

With Powerpass public charging plans, customers will easily find the closest of more than 800,000 charging points across Europe. The Plug & Charge option, enabling seamless authorisation at compatible charging stations, makes DC charging at rates of up to 185 kW convenient at all times.

A colourful celebration of diversity. Look forward to the Elroq Respectline

Škoda Auto employees are finalizing work on a unique model – the Elroq Respectline concept. It symbolizes equality and mutual respect in all areas of life. The colourful car will also showcase a special technical feature.

 

The team behind the Elroq Respectline took the opportunity to modify a production car and create something playful and unique – a concept whose impact reaches beyond the automotive world and carries an important message.
 
This new model follows up on the previous Škoda Enyaq Coupé Respectline concept from 2023 (you can revisit it in this article). Just like the unique Enyaq Coupé, the Škoda Elroq Respectline will highlight the richness of life and the diversity of human beings. 

“The same team that worked on the last concept is mostly working on this one too, so we already knew each other well. It was a fun project to create, and you can really feel that playfulness inside,” reveals Petr Kavrentzis, the coordinator of the Elroq Respectline project. He adds that viewed from the outside, the car stands out with its unique light-up front grille design.
 
The Škoda Elroq Respectline will be unveiled to the public on May 5, as one of Škoda Auto's contributions to the European Diversity Month.

Škoda Auto introduces Elroq Respectline: A tribute to diversity and heritage

› Škoda celebrates European Diversity Month with the Elroq Respectline, inspired by the values of respect, diversity, inclusion, equality and fair behaviour – the basis of its corporate culture
› The "háček" sign from the company name serves as the main motif of the design, a tribute to its Czech origin and the 130-year-old legacy of the company
› The colourful electric car will celebrate its public premiere at the end of the week in Mladá Boleslav and Hamburg, Germany, followed by more events throughout the year
› Škoda Auto anchored the topics of equality, diversity and human rights in the company's Next Level Škoda strategy and in its Diversity Strategy 2030

 

Mladá Boleslav, 5 May 2025 – Škoda Auto presents the Elroq Respectline, a concept with distinctive exterior and interior design that was created to highlight Škoda’s core values such as mutual respect, diversity and inclusion. Making its premiere during European Diversity Month, the car also aims to draw attention to the importance of protecting human rights and equitable and fair treatment of everyone.

 

The main motif in the form of a stylised “háček” sign found in the Czech letter “Š” is a tribute to the origins and rich historical heritage of Škoda Auto, which is commemorating its 130th anniversary this year. The Škoda Elroq Respectline was created collaboratively by Škoda Auto employees from across the company. It will celebrate its first public appearance at the Best Cars 2025 awards event by German auto motor und sport magazine in Hamburg, on 9 May, followed by its presence at a company music festival in Mladá Boleslav on 10 May. With the Elroq Respectline, Škoda is also celebrating the huge success of more than 55,000 Elroq orders through the end of April.

 

“Diversity, equity, inclusion, and mutual understanding are cornerstones of Škoda’s corporate culture. With the new Elroq Respectline, we are introducing a Škoda brand ambassador that embodies these values. Our goal at Škoda Auto is to be a role model in caring for our employees and fostering a safe, open, and fair workplace for all. For many years, we have been building our corporate culture on these principles – in close cooperation with our social partner KOVO Union, Škoda Auto employee groups, and many inspiring organizations and experts. We are proud of our commitment to promoting human rights and mutual respect, and we believe the Elroq Respectline will help us carry these values even further.”

Škoda Elroq Respectline: a tribute to diversity and historical heritage
The exterior design of the Elroq Respectline is characterised by its striking colour scheme and the “háček” as the main visual motif.

 

The emblem, taken from the new Škoda logo, accompanies the exterior and interior design in a playful way as an imaginative reminder of the Czech letter “Š”. The car manufacturer is proud of its Czech origins and the “háček” is a reminder of its legacy dating back to 1895.

The Tech-Deck grille of the Elroq Respectline is equipped with an animated LED rainbow lighting. The rainbow is generally recognized as a symbol of the LGBT+ community and a reminder of society’s diversity and the importance of each individual.

 

The powerfully designed rainbow exterior and the bold, colourful interior design highlight the strength of diversity and the positive energy that different perspectives and personalities can create when united in mutual respect.

 

The interior of this electric vehicle emphasizes individuality while also underscoring a strong commitment to sustainability.

 

Using recycled materials from the Elroq model, combined with progressive rainbow embroidery on the seats, distinctive embossing details, and cheerful, colorful décor elements, the Respectline is a wonderful example of how joyful diversity can be. Exceptional craftsmanship, confident design, and a deep-rooted guiding principle invite viewers to be swept away by the many colours of diversity.

 

Public premieres this week, followed by Prague Pride and Tour de France later this year
The new Elroq Respectline follows on from the Enyaq Respectline, which has appeared in a number of places in the past to promote Škoda’s core values such as mutual respect, diversity and inclusion. The Elroq Respectline will celebrate its public premiere at two events at the end of the week: first on Friday 9 May at the Best Cars 2025 awards by auto motor und sport magazine in Hamburg, Germany, followed by its presence at a company music festival in Mladá Boleslav on 10 May. The Škoda Elroq Respectline will also be exhibited throughout the summer, for example, at the Metronome Prague music festival, at the Prague Pride festival, at the Open Air concert of the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra and during the Tour de France.

 

Škoda Auto x Botas Respectline Edition
Škoda Auto and Czech shoemaker Botas joined forces merging the heritage of both manufacturers through iconic sneakers that reflect Škoda’s Modern Solid design language and the Elroq Respectline. The sneaker incorporates rainbow embroidery on the sides of the shoes, which is also included in the interior of the new Respectline model. This collaboration amplifies the company’s stance on inclusion and diversity, with the shoes set to be sold at the Botas e-shop in the upcoming weeks.

 

Škoda Auto’s engagement during European Diversity Month
For the fifth year in a row, Škoda Auto is commemorating European Diversity Month.

 

Apart from the introduction of the Elroq Respectline, Škoda Auto is setting up a number of activities throughout May, such as lectures and workshops for employees.

 

Škoda Auto has anchored its commitment to diversity and inclusion in the company’s Next Level Škoda Strategy and addresses this in more detail in its Diversity Strategy 2030. The car manufacturer also regularly publishes its Annual Sustainability Report and Diversity Report, which will follow later this month.
