A year after the debut of the Enyaq iV, its first fully electric model, Skoda is getting ready to launch the Coupé variant featuring a more aerodynamic and stylings body thanks to the sloping roofline. Before the official debut that is scheduled for early 2022, Skoda published a series of camouflaged photos together with official information about its upcoming BEV. We have already seen more of the Enyaq Coupé iV in spy pictures but Škoda decided it would be better to cover the whole body of the vehicle. Naturally, the front end will be shared with the regular Enyaq iV up to the B-pillar. However, the tail is completely redesigned, with a shape inspired by the Vision iV concept from 2019. What is interesting is that Skoda designers didn’t limit themselves to the incline of the rear windscreen, but created a heavily sloping roofline with a standard panoramic glass roof.
In terms of exterior dimensions, the Enyaq Coupé iV is measuring 4,653 mm long, 1,879 mm wide, and 1,617 mm tall. This makes it 4 mm shorter in length and 1 mm taller than the Enyaq iV while retaining the same width and 2,765 mm wheelbase. It will be available with wheels from 19-inches to 21-inches, optional full-LED Matrix headlights, and optional full-LED taillights, as well as the optional Crystal Face (illuminated grille). Thanks to the coupe-style approach, the MEB-based Enyaq Coupé iV is more aerodynamic than the Enyaq iV, boasting a drag coefficient of 0.247 cd instead of 0.27 cd. This allows for a greater range which in the variants equipped with the larger 82 kWh battery exceeds 534 km. For comparison, the same version of the Enyaq iV has a range of 510 km which shows how much aerodynamics affect efficiency.
The Enyaq Coupé iV will be available with two battery sizes and three outputs featuring rear or all-wheel-drive. This means it does without the entry-level variants of the Enyaq iV aiming at more premium buyers. The rear-wheel-drive Enyaq Coupé iV 60 will use a single electric motor producing 177 hp and 310 Nm of torque, plus a 62 kWh battery. The Enyaq Coupé iV 80 gets a more powerful rear-mounted motor producing 201 hp and 310 Nm of torque, together with a larger 82 kWh battery offering 534 km range. Then, there is the all-wheel-drive Enyaq Coupé iV 80x with dual electric motors producing a combined 261 hp and 425 Nm of torque, fitted with the larger 82 kWh battery. While not confirmed yet for the Coupé variant, it is possible to get an even more powerful variant in the future. The upcoming Enyaq vRS will have a dual-motor setup offering all-wheel drive, with 302 hp of power and 460 Nm of torque.
The interior will be derived from the Enyaq iV with the same 13-inch infotainment touchscreen, 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster, optional augmented reality head-up display, LED ambient lighting, multifunction steering wheel, and “floating” center console. The Design Selections in the cabin including Loft (grey/black) Lodge (40% natural new wool and 60% polyester), ecoSuite (cognac-colored leather), are inspired by modern living environments. Skoda claims the Enyaq Coupé iV is still a great vehicle for families offering generous space for up to five people and a cargo space of 570 liters slightly smaller than the Enyaq’s 585 liters. It is also expected to excel in Euro NCAP tests following its sibling that scored 94% in adult protection and 89% in children.
We will learn more information about the Skoda Enyaq Coupé iV as we move closer to its official reveal in early 2022.
