Skoda has officially unveiled the Enyaq iV. Previewed by last year’s Vision iV concept, the Enyaq iV is a stylish electric crossover that features a fully enclosed grille (which houses a hidden charging port) that is flanked by slender LED headlights. Higher-end variants also have a so-called “Crystal Face” which consists of 130 LEDs that light up the vertical slats and horizontal strip of the grille. Elsewhere, there’s rakish windscreen, a sloping roof and a dynamic beltline. Other highlights include chucky side skirts and wheels ranging in sizes from 18- to 21-inches.

The rear end is a tad plain in comparison, but the Enyaq iV has a tailgate-mounted spoiler and slender wraparound taillights. The model also has a black rear bumper which lacks exhaust tips as it’s fully electric. In terms of size, the model measures 4,649 mm long, 1,879 mm wide and 1,616 mm tall with a wheelbase that spans 2,765 mm. Skoda went on to say the model is about as a spacious as the Kodiaq and offers a boot capacity of 585 liters.


Moving into the cabin, there’s a nearly symmetrical dashboard which is topped by a 10- or 13-inch infotainment system.  The model also sports a digital instrument cluster which is housed behind a multi-function steering wheel. Designers kept switchgear to a minimum and this results in a streamlined cockpit with a minimalist look.  However, there are some interesting touches including a ‘floating’ center console and a flowing metallic band on the dashboard.

Ten different “themes” will be offered including eco-focused Lodge and ecoSuite designs. The Lodge interior features stylish seat covers which are 40% wool and 60% polyester made from recycled bottles.  ecoSuite variants have cognac-colored leather which eschew chemical treatments for olive leaf extracts. Skoda didn’t release full details, but the even the entry-level Enyaq will come equipped with a leather-wrapped steering wheel, a dual-zone climate control system and a push-button ignition.  Higher end variants add features such as a heated steering wheel, parking sensors and a rear-view camera – among other things.


An assortment of options will be available including a head-up display with augmented reality technology.  The model also features a host of driver assistance systems including Adaptive Cruise Control, Adaptive Lane Assist, Collision Avoidance Assist and Traffic Jam Assist.  There’s also Turn Assist, Travel Assist and Exit Warning – just to name a few. The Enyaq iV will be offered with three different batteries and five different outputs.  The entry-level 50 variant has a 55 kWh lithium-ion battery pack which powers a rear-mounted electric motor that produces 146 hp and 220 Nm of torque.  It enables the model to accelerate from 0-100 km/h in 11.4 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 160 km/h.  More importantly, the model has a range of up to 340 km in the WLTP cycle.

The 60 variant has a larger 62 kWh battery which powers an upgraded rear motor that develops 177 hp and 310 Nm)of torque.  Thanks to the extra power and larger battery, the dash to 100 km/h is cut to 8.7 seconds while the range climbs to 242 miles (390 km). One step up is the 80 variant which has an 82 kWh battery and a single electric motor that develops 201 hp and 310 Nm of torque. It hits 100 km/h in 8.5 seconds and has a range of up to 510 km.


The 80x has two electric motors which give the crossover all-wheel drive as well as a combined output of 261 hp and 425 Nm of torque. The dash to 100 km/h drops to 6.9 seconds, while the range provided by the 82 kWh battery falls to 460 km. Sitting at the top of the range is the dual motor RS variant which has 302 hp and 460 Nm of torque.  This enables the model to hit 100 km/h in 6.2 seconds, before hitting a top speed of 180 km/h. Despite being a decent performer, range doesn’t suffer as the model can travel up to 460 km on a single charge.

Skoda didn’t say much about recharging times, but noted the 82 kWh battery can go from a 5-80% charge in 38 minutes using a rapid charger.  Owners can also get an 11 kW wall box which enables the crossover to fully replenished in six to eight hours, depending on the size of the battery. The Enyaq iV will go into production later this year and the model will be built at the company’s factory in Mladá Boleslav.  The production line will be flexible and can build between 250 and 350 electric crossovers every day.
