The Škoda Elroq is all about safety without compromise. Besides the safety systems already described, the following features are available as standard or an option:
› Isofix and Top Tether anchorage points to fasten a child seat to the second-row outboard seats. Isofix is also available for the front-passenger seat.
› Unlike cruise control, which maintains a set speed, the speed limiter allows the driver to travel at any speed up to, but not more than, the predefined value.
› ABS keeps the wheels from locking during emergency braking or when braking on slippery surfaces.
› By increasing the braking pressure, the HBA braking assist helps drivers in situations in which emergency braking is necessary. This can lead to a significant reduction in the braking distance required.
› EBD automatically optimises braking pressure and the overall braking balance and prevents the rear wheels from overbraking.
› The ASR ensures smooth starting and acceleration without the wheels spinning on slippery surfaces.
› EDL helps when accelerating or driving uphill with low traction under one of the driven wheels.
› TSA operates when the vehicle is equipped with an original towing device with its own control unit. The system works on the principle braking one or more wheels and simultaneously reducing engine torque as necessary. The TSA system intervenes and helps stabilize the car and the trailer.
› XDS+ helps the driver during sharp turns and ensures that the vehicle behaves neutrally during dynamic cornering. The control electronics essentially simulate the presence of a self-locking differential to improve traction and driving dynamics during turns. As a result, the vehicle will take bends much more assuredly and naturally.
› Tyre Pressure Monitoring TPM+ keeps the driver informed of the tyre pressure at all times.
› The optional Hill-Hold Control helps drivers to start uphill safely. The system activates itself on inclines of five degrees or more and ensures easy and safe uphill starting without the use of the handbrake. The system keeps the car from rolling backwards or stalling.
› Flashing brake lights reduce the risk of rear-end impact, especially when approaching the traffic jams on highways or sudden braking in front of the unexpected obstacle.
All-wheel drive
The electric motor mounted on the rear axle can be supplemented by a second electric motor on the front axle. This turns the Elroq into an all-wheel drive. The 4×4 drive uses only slightly more energy than rear-wheel drive.
This extra power consumption can mainly be attributed to the extra weight placed on the vehicle by the additional front engine. This all-wheel drive design is more energy efficient than the conventional arrangement with a centre inter-axle differential and universal joint.
All-wheel drive is only available with the largest (82 kWh) battery.
Driving Mode Select
For maximum driving pleasure, the Elroq can be fitted with Driving Mode Select. As such, the car offers several modes that change both the stiffness of the shock absorbers and other vehicle settings. Reconfiguring the car from a comfortable, relaxed mode to a dynamic, sporty setting is as easy as pressing a button.
Regenerative braking
Regenerative braking is a process where the vehicle’s kinetic energy is converted into electricity, which is then stored in the high-voltage battery. Therefore, it makes efficient use of energy and helps to increase the electric vehicle’s range by partially charging the battery on the way. Regenerative braking takes place in various driving situations and has several modes that may be changed at any time. The intensity of regenerative braking force can be set manually by the driver, or automatically by the car’s driving unit.
Progressive steering
This feature provides the Elroq with better handling and agility in curves. The progressive steering changes ratio depending on how far the wheel is turned.
