Skoda Elroq or Volkswagen ID.4?
Hi,
I'm considering going electric and have narrowed it down to two cars: the VW ID.4 Pro and the Skoda Elroq Sportline. Both of them fit my needs on paper but would you favour one over the other?
Thanks.

Hi Brendan,
Assuming you don't need the bigger boot of the ID.4, then I'd suggest that the Elroq is a superior car in every other way. It drives better, has a far nicer interior and doesn't have the ID.4's ridiculous electric window switches. The Elroq is newer as well in terms of technology and development, so its software and infotainment are better resolved and it's more refined.
The only thing I would say is that the Sportline model may ride on low-profile tyres that detract from comfort a little, so make sure you drive it over poor roads to ensure you're happy with it before you commit.
