How the specs compare

This comparison sets the 2026 Skoda Elroq 85 against the 2025 Mazda MX-5 Sport. They sit in different categories — SUV and convertible — which makes the packaging figures as important as the headline performance. One uses a battery-electric powertrain and the other a petrol system, so range and consumption figures need to be read in that context.

Price and overall assessment

2026 Skoda Elroq 85 leads in more of the shared headline fields, but that is not a universal verdict: a buyer should weight price, performance, range and utility rather than simply count category wins.
