Skoda Elroq

Every review I have seen on the Elroq isn't exactly glowing about the suspension, firm and rarely settled by all accounts.

3 month delay for the one coming in my family too. Car built the other day. Would imagine some will want to wait for 252. DCC is well worth it on it but it’s only available at the higher end of prices.

doesn’t say delay just says expected delivery. App.

I’ll try and find out a bit more from Skoda Ireland tomorrow and report back.

Did you ever hear anything back? mine is still in the transporting ether somewhere

Of course I get notified that it's ready to pick up just when I am away on holidays. Ah well seething to look forward to at end of a holiday is rare.

Best of luck with it, lovely car, surprisingly close to enyaq just that little bit smaller, strange how they have made them so closely matched to each other.

Wonder when skoda are going to do the EV Octavia, even with the move to EVs the octavia stayed a top seller.

Anyone push the button on an Elroq 60? Very close to doing so, have pushed the dealer pretty hard but not sure if we have the best deal yet. Anyone got any good deals?

Dealer has included:
Free service pack (€1250 value)
Free road tax

The €1250 service pack doesn’t offer much value anyway unless your Elroq has 20”/21” wheels. Better to get €1250 off the price instead.

Not sure on the warranty requirement to require a skoda service history. General warranty is 3 years or 150K Km’s. HV Battery is 8 years or 160K Km’s.
Other than inspections at 24 months and 36 months, the 3 year service pack will only get you 1 set of wipers/tyres, a pollen filter and a brake fluid change. It includes brake pads if worn but very unlikely in 36 months on an EV.

if it were me, i’d be swapping for the 2 year warranty extention as a priority,its circa €700(years 4 & 5) + maybe something else as well, sometimes, these are not available to purchase after buy it,

it has a long term value, and peace of mind, if youre keeping beyond 3 years, or reselling privately. the service pack only has value if you get a full set of tyres, and even then that's circa €900, plus playing in advance, for something you may never use- albeit depends on your mileage.

20/21” premium tyres don’t come cheap, I’d much rather that option than a low mileage capped extended warranty personally.

seeing as the average Irish driver does about 18k kms annually, most people will be well within that range,

Always exceptions of course, and rural drivers would have a higher average. but most Irish drivers, don’t do anywhere near 150k kms in 5 years.

Update on this. Got around €1000 off list plus the below included at no additional cost.

3 year service pack (pretty sure we will require at least two rear tires within that period)
Metallic
2 year warranty extsnsion
1 year road tax

Yes, the 80 was over €4k extra and we didn't see the value in that as most of the journeys are short enough.
