Frequently asked questions
Is the Skoda Elroq worth the extra £1,790 over the Citroën ë-C4?
The Skoda Elroq costs £1,790 more than the Citroën ë-C4. For that premium it adds 63 miles more WLTP range, 90 litres more boot space and 40 kW more power. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Skoda Elroq comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Skoda Elroq?
The Citroën ë-C4 is £1,790 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Citroën ë-C4 comes out roughly £1,710 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Citroën ë-C4 and Skoda Elroq like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 156 miles for the Citroën ë-C4 and 234 miles for the Skoda Elroq - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Skoda Elroq goes roughly 78 miles further between charging stops.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Skoda Elroq?
The Citroën ë-C4 is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 84 mm narrower than the Skoda Elroq. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 600 mm of total clearance for the Citroën ë-C4 and about 516 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Elroq. The Skoda Elroq also turns in a 1.6 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Citroën ë-C4 or the Skoda Elroq?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Citroën ë-C4 and 84% for the Skoda Elroq. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
