Škoda's new 340hp vRS range-topping performance version of its new Elroq will cost from £46,560, the company has announced. The all-wheel drive EV will become the fastest accelerating car in Škoda’s current model range, sprinting from 0 to 62 mph in 5.4 seconds. 

Inside, the Elroq vRS continues the theme with a sporty vRS Lounge Design Selection that is unique to the trim. The front sports seats – electrically adjustable with memory and massage function on the driver’s side – offer integrated headrests for extra support through corners and are finished in soft microsuede and artificial leather material. Lime green stitching and carbon-effect inlays add a bit of flair, along with a three-spoke heated sports steering wheel.

In terms of technology and connectivity, the Elroq vRS features a five-inch digital cockpit display, a 13-inch central touchscreen, and an augmented reality head-up display that projects essential driving info onto the windscreen. vRS models also come with area view camera and CANTON sound system as standard.

It also comes as standard with adaptive DCC chassis control. Upgraded brakes with improved heat resistance feature large two-piston calipers for added stopping power, while sports suspension is fitted as standard.

The Elroq vRS is fitted with an all-wheel drive 84 kWh battery (79 kWh net). It delivers power to the wheels via a dual-motor set-up. 

The offcial WLTP range is up to 339 miles and supports DC rapid charging at speeds of up to 185kW charging from 10 to 80 per cent in 26 minutes. 

Order books for the new Elroq vRS open on mid-June, with first deliveries expected this summer.
