LED lights are offered as standard while the higher variants are Matrix units. 

As the first production vehicle to feature Skoda’s "Modern Solid" design, the Elroq represents a fresh path to the brand’s standard design elements. Skoda has reinterpreted familiar lines, most notably with its new "Tech-Deck Face." This replaces the conventional radiator grille with a glossy black panel that conceals sensors, including radar and a front camera.

Moreover, the traditional Skoda logo has been flicked off the bonnet and replaced by the brand's new lettering. The vehicle comes with LED headlights as standard, with the option for advanced LED Matrix headlights in higher variants. The matrix system, featuring 36 individual light segments, adjusts automatically to avoid dazzling oncoming traffic.
