Skoda has given us a peek inside their new Elroq electric crossover. The Czech carmaker has been dropping hints about this model for over a year, and now they're showing off the eco-friendly materials and design themes for the interior.

The Elroq will come with four different interior options. The "Loft" theme is the star of the show. It uses a material called Recytitan, which is 78% recycled PET. This fabric covers the seats, door panels, dashboard, armrest, and knee pads. It's comfortable, durable, and sustainable. The dark grey-blue fabric is paired with dark artificial leather and eye-catching yellow stitching.

Skoda says this is the first time they've used recycled post-consumer clothing to make high-quality yarns and fabrics for a car interior. It's a big step towards more sustainable manufacturing.

The "Lodge" theme takes a different approach. It uses Technofil, a mix of polyester and recycled Econyl yarns. These yarns come from surprising sources like old fishing nets, fabric scraps, and carpeting. The Lodge interior is mostly black with light grey artificial leather accents. Orange stitching and seat belts add a pop of color.

Skoda hasn't shared much about the other two themes, "Suite" and "Studio". But they've hinted at some cool features for the Elroq's interior. There's a freestanding infotainment system, ambient lighting, and a sleek center console. The air vents are slim, and it looks like there's a digital instrument cluster too.

All of this fits with Skoda's "Modern Solid" design philosophy. They're aiming for simplicity, spaciousness, and clean lines throughout the interior.

Under the hood, the Elroq will use Volkswagen's MEB platform. Skoda plans to offer four different powertrain options. The entry-level model will have a 55 kWh battery and a rear-mounted motor putting out 168 hp. At the top end, there's a dual-motor all-wheel drive version with an 82 kWh battery. This one packs 295 hp and can go more than 348 miles on a single charge.
