Skoda has been teasing the VW ID.4-based
Enyaq iV since February, with the very first spy images arriving a little less
than a month after the official announcement. Since then, we’ve seen
renderings, more spy images and as of last week, a bunch of official sketches
that point to several new design elements which we may have otherwise missed –
like the actual front and rear light signatures, for starters.
Now, thanks to Kolesa, we have our most
accurate rendering yet of the Czech EV crossover, which is expected to go on
sale in Europe before the end of this year. The renderings show what should
amount to production-ready headlights, as well as a possible light strip
spanning the width of the enclosed grille. At the back, the taillights are a
bit less aggressive-looking than those on the official sketches, but that’s
also the point. Still, maybe the real Enyaq won’t have that big of a vertical
gap between the taillights and the rear window.
The Skoda Enyaq iV will ride on the VW
Group’s MEB platform, featuring both rear- and all-wheel drive setups. The
entry-level model will boast a rear-mounted motor with 146 HP and a 55
kWh battery for a total range of up to 340 km. Opt for the mid-spec
variant and you’ll get 178 HP, a 62 kWh battery and a 390
km range, while the rear-wheel drive range topper will get 201 HP, an
82 kWh battery and up to 500 km of range.
As for the all-wheel drive versions, there
will be a 262 HP model, with an 82 kWh battery and a 460 km total range, to go with the Enyaq iV RS and its 302 HP, plus the same
82 kWh battery and 286 mile range.
