Skoda Auto has built 100,000 units of the all-electric Elroq compact SUV since production began at the start of the year. The anniversary car is an Elroq vRS in Hyper Green.
As the first production model to feature the brand’s Modern Solid design language, the Elroq is assembled on a flexible line that also builds the Enyaq and the MQB-based Octavia. This allows the carmaker to produce both electric and ICE models on the same line to quickly respond to customer demand.
The Elroq is proving popular with customers and experts alike: in the first three quarters of 2025, it ranked second among Europe’s best-selling BEV models. It has also garnered numerous international honours, including the Red Dot Design Award, and was recently crowned ‘German Car of the Year 2026’. The 100,000-unit milestone underscores the strong, continuing demand for Skoda’s battery-electric SUVs, the Elroq and Enyaq.
Andreas Dick, Skoda Auto Board Member for Production and Logistics, says: “Producing 100,000 Elroqs in under a year of series production is a major achievement for the whole team. It also reflects rigorous preparation and targeted adaptations to our production processes. From the outset, we’ve fully leveraged the flexibility to build battery-electric and ICE vehicles on the same line. The result is clear: the tremendous response from customers highlights the excellent manufacturing quality of cars ‘made in Mladá Boleslav’.”
In the first three quarters of 2025, Skoda Auto delivered nearly 120,000 BEVs globally. In Europe, both models ranked in the top ten electric cars, with the Elroq second and the Enyaq sixth. The Elroq is the best-selling BEV in the Czech Republic, Denmark and Slovakia, and ranks among the top three best-selling BEVs in Austria, the Netherlands and Switzerland.
In Germany, Skoda’s largest single market, the Elroq was the best-selling electric vehicle in October, with 3,320 registrations, and it was also Europe’s overall best-selling electric car in April, July and October. The Elroq’s success is reflected not only in strong customer demand but also in a growing list of international awards, including the renowned Red Dot Design Award.
Recently, the compact SUV was named ‘German Car of the Year 2026’. A jury of 40 leading German and international journalists first selected five class winners from 80 new vehicles before the Elroq prevailed against its four remaining rivals in the final round. It scored particularly well for quality and environmental characteristics, as well as for its price–performance ratio, handling and drivetrain.
