Škoda Elroq named Czechia’s Car of the Year

The Škoda Elroq has been named Czechia’s Car of the Year 2026, with the Mercedes-Benz CLA finishing second and the BMW iX3 in third, the Association of Automobile Importers announced today. The winner was selected by 19 leading Czech motoring journalists.

Škoda last won the award in 2018 with the Karoq, on which the Elroq is based. Launched in 2025, the Elroq quickly became the best-selling electric car in the Czech Republic and Europe’s second-best-selling EV. It is Škoda’s second electric model after the Enyaq.
