MG S6 EV vs Skoda Elroq

The MG S6 EV costs £4,025 more than the Skoda Elroq. For that premium it adds 48 miles more WLTP range, 45 kW faster peak rapid charging and 204 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Skoda Elroq comes out ahead overall.

The Skoda Elroq is £4,025 cheaper to buy. The Skoda Elroq is cheaper to charge, roughly £152 a year versus £184 for the MG S6 EV, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Skoda Elroq comes out roughly £4,185 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 232 miles for the MG S6 EV and 234 miles for the Skoda Elroq - effectively matched, and both well below their WLTP figures because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV.

The two are within 28 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 516 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Elroq and about 488 mm of total clearance for the MG S6 EV. The Skoda Elroq also turns in a 1.8 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the MG S6 EV 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.
