Skoda is giving its compact electric SUV the vRS treatment, but we still don't know how much power it'll get

# data.attributes.body.value
Skoda has teased a new ‘vRS’ version of its all-electric Elroq compact SUV, and yes, it will be available with bright green paint. But that’s not all.

Looks like the vRS will get different bumpers to the rest of the Elroq range, and there's plenty of the black exterior trim that's now typical of hot Skoda models, including a glossier grille.

Skoda has kept quiet about the powertrain for now, but it’s fair to assume it’ll get more power than the current range-topping Elroq’s 281bhp. Given that it's based on the same platform as the Volkswagen ID.3 GTX and the Cupra Born VZ, it wouldn't be a surprise to see the same 322bhp rear-mounted e-motor as found in those hot hatches. That'd mean it's not quite in the same league as the Volvo EX30 with its 422bhp twin-motor option.

Expect the Elroq vRS to get the adaptive dampers that are already available as a £650 option on the standard car. Aside from the new headrest badging, changes to the cabin should remain minimal. That means a 5in driver’s display and 13in infotainment screen, with a general mix of fabric, suede or leather surfaces for that ‘ooh, nice’ comment from passengers.

The Elroq vRS’ full premiere will happen on 3 April, where it’ll make its first public appearance at the Milan Design Week. Orders should begin soon after that, likely starting somewhere north of the decked-out Elroq 85’s £41k asking price.
