Skoda has offered us a glimpse inside the
Enyaq iV electric crossover ahead of the model’s launch that is scheduled for
September 1. Dominated by a multi-layer dashboard, with the central air vents
inspired by the traditional Skoda grille, the interior boasts a large 13-inch
display. Apart from the infotainment system, this will be used to control a
number of functions, while the Enyaq iV also sports a digital instrument
cluster and an innovative head-up display with augmented reality functions.
The central console features the tiny gear
selector in front of the electric parking brake. A couple of storage spaces are
located next to it and, under the dash, the automaker has added what seems to
be a wireless charging pad for smartphones.
Ambient lighting is also on deck and
sustainable materials round up the offering, including the seat covers that are
be made from 40 percent wool and 60 percent fibers obtained from recycled
plastic bottles, while the cognac-finished leather gets its color from an
extract of olive-tree leaves.
Besides these, the Volkswagen ID.4’s Czech
cousin promises an airy interior with more room for the middle rear passenger
and a flat floor on top of the battery pack, as well as a 585
liters boot. Based on the VW Group’s MEB platform, the Enyaq iV will launch
with five power levels, three battery sizes and rear- or all-wheel drive. The
outputs will range between 146 and 302 HP, and the base model will offer a 340 km)range with the battery fully charged, while another version
will give it an autonomy of up to 500 km.
