Already available for Škoda’s larger Enyaq electric SUV, the SportLine model delivers a sporting flagship complete with a bolder look, exclusive interior and a revised suspension set-up for sharper driving dynamics.

It’s available with both the 60 and 85 battery variants offered in the Elroq range, the latter featuring standard sports suspension with specially tuned springs and dampers. Additionally, the ride height is lowered by 15mm at the front and 10mm at the rear. SportLine 85 models also come with progressive dynamic steering as standard.

Priced from £37,400, the Elroq SportLine 60 features a 63kWh (59kWh net) battery pack and a 204hp rear-mounted motor. It’s able to sprint from 0-62mph in 8.0 seconds and has a WLTP driving range of up to 263 miles.

The Elroq SportLine 85 is priced from £41,600a and comes with a larger 82kWh battery (77kWh net) and a 286hp rear-mounted motor. It has a 0-62mph time of 6.6 seconds and a WLTP range of up to 355 miles.

The Elroq SportLine 60 has a maximum DC rapid charge speed of 165kW, while the SportLine 85 has a peak DC charge speed of 175kW.

Design upgrades include gloss black details including for the front bumper, 20-inch black alloy wheels and the SportLine badge. The interior features the Sportline Design Selection, adding front sports seats with heating function and black microsuede and artificial leather upholstery, plus a heated sports steering wheel, carbon-effect trim strips on the dashboard and stainless steel pedal covers.

Škoda’s Kia EV3 and Renault Scenic rival also gets new SE L 60 and Edition 60 derivatives, priced from £33,350 and positioned between the entry level SE 50 and the Edition 85 variants.

Equipped with a new 63kWh (59kWh net) battery pack, both Elroq 60 models are powered by a 204hp rear-mounted motor. Both models deliver a WLTP combined figure of 265 miles and have a peak DC rapid charge speed of 165kW.

Edition buyers also get travel assist plus, keyless entry and start/stop system with walk away locking, and predictive adaptive cruise control with traffic jam assist. Tech upgrades deliver wireless charging (15W) with cooling function along with 45W USB-C ports in the front and rear.
