Škoda has revealed the 340hp vRS range-topping performance version of its new Elroq. The latest member of the vRS family has two motors generating a total system output of 340hp (250 kW) and is equipped with all-wheel drive. It’s the fastest accelerating car in Škoda’s current model range, sprinting from 0 to 62 mph in 5.4 seconds. 

The battery has a capacity of 84 kWh (79 kWh net), enabling a maximum electric range of 340 miles 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.

The vRS is equipped with a sports suspension lowered by 15 mm at the front and 10 mm at the rear, with a new steering set-up to create a sportier driving feel. The Drive Mode Select also offers a special traction mode tailored to the all-wheel drive, and the DCC adaptive chassis features reconfigured driving modes designed for even better comfort. 

The vRS version allows a wide range of shock absorber settings, with up to 15 adjustable settings in Individual mode. Due to the increased output, the vRS variant has more powerful brakes on the front axle with two-piston callipers. 

The interior of the Škoda Elroq vRS 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 a vRS badge. 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 tri-zone Climatronic air conditioning is part of this equipment package as well. 

UK pricing and specification will be announced later this month, with first deliveries expected in the summer.
