Don’t confuse it with

Elroq 
Škoda Kamiq Škoda Kamiq
Similar shape and detailing can fool you at first glance; the Elroq has a substantially larger, Karoq-sized body.11
Škoda Karoq
Similar overall size; identify the Elroq by its glossy black Tech-Deck Face and Škoda lettering across the hood.1122
Škoda Enyaq
