Skoda to introduce three new EVs

Skoda has revealed it has three more electric models coming in the near future – and all are likely to be smaller in size than the Enyaq.

At the reveal of the new Enyaq Coupe on Monday, Skoda CEO Thomas Schafer said that the trio will provide "more customer value" and there is no plan yet to offer a seven-seat configuration in an EV, but also did not rule out bringing a three-row electric model to the market at a later date.

“The Enyaq is only the start of our e-mobility campaign," said Schafer. "We already have three more electric vehicles on the way."

The boss also said “never say never" in regards to a seven-seat electric model in the future, suggesting one would be quite a way off at this stage.

For the upcoming three new models, one might well be named 'Elroq' given the Czech company trademarked that name already. A play on the Karoq badge already produced as a conventional crossover, the Elroq could be an electrified version based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, with the possibility of the MEB Entry architecture being used for an even smaller EV.

Skoda Australia is yet to confirm timing on a local launch of the Enyaq, but it will be the first electric model to arrive here. Over in Europe, the Enyaq has been on sale since 2021 and the Enyaq Coupe will soon be in the market. Skoda is also moving its sales model online in Europe, with an app that allows buyers to order digitally. The Czech marque believes it will be able to sell one in five new cars this way by 2025.

Unlike many other manufacturers with set goals to cease combustion-engine production, Skoda has not dedicated itself to a timeline, but has said it will reduce CO2 emissions across its production process.
