With the standard Adaptive DCC Suspension and the newly tuned driving modes of the Driving Mode Select, which Škoda has specifically expanded for the all-wheel drive with a traction mode, the Elroq RS offers even better comfort. The compact dimensions are also matched by the special tuning of the Adaptive DCC Suspension for the Elroq RS, which provides a sportier driving feel. The RS version offers a wide range of shock absorber settings with up to 15 parameters that can be adjusted to configure an individual mode. Each DCC shock absorber features an advanced electromagnetic valve that opens and closes in milliseconds, reducing or increasing the oil flow in the shock absorber depending on the current driving situation and selected driving mode. The shock absorber parameters are controlled by numerous input signals - including vehicle speed, body acceleration, roll and pitch movements, total vehicle load, throttle position, and steering angle. The system consists of three accelerometers, three wheel lift sensors, and a control unit that also receives data and signals from other vehicle units such as the engine unit, ESC, and steering gear. For optimal handling in every driving situation, a MacPherson front axle with lower triangular links and a transverse torsion stabilizer is paired with a multi-link rear axle with five transverse links and a torsion stabilizer at the rear. The combination of sport tires and steering characteristics tuned to the specific settings of the RS suspension gives the vehicle a more dynamic steering feel with better feedback for optimal vehicle control.
