Skoda’s new EV gets drive-away pricing, guaranteed future value TechTricks365


Skoda Australia has quietly revealed drive-away pricing for its new Elroq electric SUV, following the retail pricing announcement earlier this week.

The Czech brand’s official website says the entry-level 2025 Skoda Elroq 85 Select is priced from $59,990 drive-away, while the 2025 Skoda Elroq 130 Years Edition is $69,990 drive-away.

Further, the Elroq is being offered with Skoda Choice finance from $171 per week (85 Select) or $199 per week (130 Years Edition) – on a 60-month term and with a $11,998 or $13,998 deposit respectively.

This means the Elroq 85 Select undercuts the Kia EV3 Earth Long Range ($62,690 drive-away), though the Kia admittedly offers more driving range and standard specification albeit with less performance and boot space than the Skoda.

The Elroq also undercuts the larger Volkswagen ID.4 Pro (~$65,400 D/A) and Tesla Model Y RWD (~$64,300 D/A), though is dearer than both the BYD Atto 3 Premium (~$47,500 D/A) and Sealion 7 Premium (~$58,100 D/A). Prices are calculated using a NSW postcode.

Both versions of the Skoda Elroq for Australia will be powered by a rear-mounted 210kW electric motor fed by an 82kWh (net) battery, claiming a 0-100km/h sprint in a near hot hatch-like 6.6 seconds and a combined WLTP driving range of 529 kilometres. Skoda also quotes an urban cycle range of 661km, again WLTP-certified.

That’s more driving range than both the entry-level Sealion 7 and Model Y, and it’s also quicker to triple figures than the BYD. However, the VW ID.4 Pro quotes more range and the Model Y offers quicker acceleration according to official specifications.
