Skoda previews Enyaq iV electric vehicle

On May 7, Skoda announced that the new Enyaq iV marks a pioneering step forward in the Czech carmaker’s electromobility strategy. The first Skoda production model based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB modular electric car platform combines brand-typical virtues such as a generous amount of space and an emotive design with fun yet sustainable driving. There is a choice of three battery sizes and five power variants, depending on requirements. The all-electric SUV is set to be built at Skoda’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav, making it the first MEB-based Volkswagen Group vehicle in Europe to be produced outside Germany.
The Czech manufacturer’s first production model based on the MEB modular electric car platform is also ideally suited for long-distance journeys as it boasts long ranges of up to 500 km in the WLTP cycle and fast charging.
The vehicle’s world premiere will also mark the start of advance sales; serial production of the Skoda Enyaq iV will start at the end of 2020. Its market launch is scheduled to take place at the beginning of 2021.
The entry-level model is the Skoda Enyaq iV 50; its lithium-ion battery has a gross capacity of 55 kWh. The rear-mounted electric motor has an output of 109 kW, offering a maximum range of up to 340 km. This increases up to 390 km in the 132-kW Enyaq iV 60 fitted with a 62-kWh battery. The rear-wheel-drive Enyaq iV 80 delivering 150 kW has the highest range of up to 500 km in the WLTP cycle. Its 82-kWh battery is also used by the two versions equipped with a second electric motor and thus all-wheel drive: the 80X and the vRS, which deliver 195 kW and 225 kW respectively. The maximum range of both all-wheel-drive variants is up to 460 km.
A highlight of the new Skoda Enyaq iV is its innovatively designed interior, which conveys an all-new feeling of spaciousness.
