While the vRS Elroq uses the same 84 kWh battery as the standard model, it makes 52 bhp more. The maximum power output stands at 340 bhp, which is produced by two electric motors present on both the axles.

It has a standard AWD system, and with its help, it can sprint from 0-100 km/h in 5.4 seconds, making it the fastest ever Skoda in the production. Moreover, the WLTP range has dropped 32 km from the standard Elroq. It can cover a maximum distance of 550 km on a single charge.

For charging, it can support a 185 kW fast charger, which can bump it from 10-80 per cent in just 26 minutes. Meanwhile, the 11 kW AC charger will take 8 hours to charge it completely.
