Any preferences?

Hi all. Newbie here. I am in the market for a new EV via the Motability scheme (I am completely unable to walk) and have narrowed my selection down to 3 options - Kia Niro, Vauxhall Frontera or Skoda Elroq. Any advice or opinions on which is best in your eyes would be appreciated.

Hi @KevinSmithson - welcome to the RAC Community and thanks for making your first post, it's great to hear from you.
Are you looking at fully electric or hybrid?
Here's a review from the RAC of the Kia Niro EV
We haven't reviewed the other vehicles you mention but here are some reviews from What Car:
Skoda Elroq WhatCar? review
Vauxhall New Frontera WhatCar? review
This link also links to WhatCar?'s top 10 Electric SUVs, where you'll no doubt notice the Skoda features high up the last! -
@Nick Hi Nick. I’m looking at fully electric, because as I’m unable to walk easily petrol stops are virtually impossible but home charging would be a doddle.

Ah, great shout - I can imagine that would make things way easier for you. What sort of other things do you look out for in a car that will make life easier for you?

If it's something that would be of benefit, the Toyota Proace City Verso is another option that doesn't cost anything upfront but it's a small van and has the bonus of being able to be converted for wheelchair use
