Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 82.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 77.0 kWh, with a 5.0 kWh buffer (6.1%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 352 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
According to the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle's range is 550 km (342 miles), with an energy consumption rate of 14.0 kWh/100 km (4.4 mi/kWh).
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 175 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 64 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 35 minutes at an average power of 92 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 2–43%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 100 kW over a session lasting about 19 minutes and 1 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 21 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 9 hours and 41 minutes, needing four charging stops from 2% to 46%, totaling 82 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 7 hours and 0 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Drivetrain
The SKODA Elroq 85x features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle.
An induction motor powers the front axle, while a permanent-magnet synchronous motor powers the rear axle.
Suspension
The suspension system features a MacPherson strut front construction and a multi-link rear construction. Both the front and rear dampers are monotube dampers. The front and rear springs are coil springs.
The Standard suspension has a fixed height and damping characteristics.
Ground clearance with this setup is 186 mm.
The SKODA Elroq 85x features an optional suspension system with MacPherson strut front construction and multilink rear construction. It has monotube dampers on both axles and coil springs at both ends.

Drive Modes
The SKODA Elroq 85x lets the user select different drive modes that affect the car's handling.
The driver can choose between 5 modes:

- Eco mode: Balanced steering and suspension damping, with efficient throttle.
- Normal: Balanced steering, balanced throttle, and suspension damping.
- Traction: Balanced steering, balanced throttle, and suspension damping.
- Individual: Default drive mode settings.
Brakes
The SKODA Elroq 85x uses disc brakes at the front and drum brakes at the rear. Rear drum brakes require little maintenance and pair well with regenerative braking, which handles most deceleration.
The front discs are 358 mm.
Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator, choosing between two levels.
The maximum regenerative braking power is 150 kW.
Exterior
The SKODA Elroq 85x, with dimensions of 4488 mm in length, 1879 mm in width, and 1625 mm in height, falls into the B-SUV segment, also known as subcompact SUVs or crossovers.

The power liftgate includes hands-free opening by foot gesture as standard.
There is only one roof option for this model.
A conventional roof is standard.
The windows behind the B-pillar are tinted for privacy and to reduce glare and solar heat gain.
