Skoda unveiled the Enyaq iV last week, and
it appears the company is working on a crossover coupe variant. Dressed in
heavy camouflage, the model will follow in the footsteps of the standard Enyaq
but adopt a sportier design which is more in keeping with last year’s Vision iV
concept. The front end will apparently carryover, but the model will adopt a
steeper sloping roof and a unique rear end. Details are hard to make out, but
we can see a sportier greenhouse and an upward sweeping beltline.
The model also has an angular rear window
and an upright tailgate with an integrated spoiler. We can also see a new rear
bumper which houses a recessed license plate area. Spy photographers didn’t get
a glimpse inside, but the cabin will likely echo the standard Enyaq. This means
we can expect a minimalist interior with a digital instrument cluster, a
‘floating’ center console and a 10- or 13-inch infotainment system. There
should also be eco-friendly upholstery and an assortment of familiar driver
assistance systems.
Powertrain options should carryover, so we
can expect an entry-level variant with a 55 kWh lithium-ion battery that powers
a rear-mounted electric motor with 146 hp and 220
Nm of torque. We can also expect a more powerful variant with a 62 kWh battery
and an electric motor that produces 177 hp and 310
Nm of torque.
There should also be three variants with
an 82 kWh battery pack. One should have rear-wheel drive and an output of 201
hp and 310 Nm of torque. The other two would be
all-wheel drive and feature two electric motors with combined outputs of 261 hp and 302 hp. Range would vary but model, but
the standard Enyaq can travel between 340 – 510 km in the
WLTP cycle.
