Citroën C5 Aircross Electric vs Škoda Elroq

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Škoda Elroq has the higher published DC charging figure at 175 kW, which is roughly 9% higher than the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric at 160 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric is listed at about 27 minutes, which is 1 minutes quicker than the Škoda Elroq at 28 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Škoda Elroq has a WLTP rated range of approximately 573 km, which is roughly 133 km more than the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric at approximately 440 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Škoda Elroq consumes 152 Wh/km, compared to 197 Wh/km for the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric. That means the Škoda Elroq uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Škoda Elroq has approximately 77 kWh of useable battery , while the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric has approximately 73.7 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Škoda Elroq has the higher published DC figure at up to 175 kW, but the Citroën C5 Aircross Electric has the shorter published charge time at approximately 27 minutes versus approximately 28 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Škoda Elroq is the more efficient choice at 152 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Škoda Elroq has a WLTP rated range of approximately 573 km, which is roughly 133 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
