A group of motoring experts who have reviewed hundreds of cars have revealed their number one pick. The experts, from renowned publication Auto Express, have assessed multiple cars to find out which of those on sale in the UK is the best in the country. After careful consideration they opted to go for an electric car from a popular Czech-German marque which has been excelling on road and track in recent years. The car in question was the Skoda Elroq, an electric family car.

When discussing the Elroq, the reviewers described it as a car which best demonstrated the best attributes of what Skoda is about, from its affordability to its dynamism inside. They added that it was clear that the Elroq not only built on what Skoda has become known for in recent years, but shows their momentum shows no sign of slowing as more and more cars go electric.

They concluded: “In the end, however, we chose the car which, try as we might, we struggled to find any obvious faults with – and that all-round strength sealed its position.

“Everything we’ve come to expect and love from a Skoda is right here, with value for money at the forefront of everything it does. This is an EV that starts from not much over £30,000 yet feels like a car that’s sized a class above most alternatives at that price point.

“The good news for the Elroq is that there’s loads more to recommend. If Skoda wanted a model to showcase what its brand is all about, the Elroq shouts those qualities louder than any other. It’s as close to faultless as a family car can be, and that’s why it’s a deserving winner.”

It isn’t just on the new car market where Skoda is excelling, on the used car market Skodas are proving popular too. Motoring expert Mike Brewer has recommend the Skoda Yeti as a good used buy.

The Wheeler Dealers star explained to Car Dealer Magazine: "If you’re looking for a bit more space for the family and you need to catty all that kit and caboodle around, then another recommendation would be the Skoda Yeti.

"Now this is a really strong car. It’s got a really good VW platform that sits underneath it. They are reliable, they are rough and tough. You can bash them round. They’ve got hard plastics on the inside.

"If they get stained on the seats, they clean up really well. Think about those littleuns’ in the back drinking their fruit juice. These cars are really hardy and that’s why I’d recommend a Skoda Yeti. 

"And Skoda aren't like they used to be. They really are great cars today."
