He is Skoda’s first electric model: Enyaq. Built on the Volkswagen MEB platform, this family crossover is actually a technical cousin to several models in the group. Starting with Volkswagen ID.4, Cupra Tavascan and Audi Q4 e-tron especially. Arriving in 2020, the Enyaq continued the long wave of SUVs started by Skoda with the appearance of the Kodiaq in 2016. This was followed by the Karoq in 2017 and the Kamiq in 2019.

But none of these three predecessors was offered in electric motorization at that time. Not even in a hybrid or hybrid version In addition! This pleasure was left to the Octavia and Kombi sedans. Thus, the Enyaq was a key model for Skoda and the Volkswagen Group, which with the ID.3 in 2020 began development a new electric strategy for its brands.

An electrical device with a thoughtful design

So Skoda took care of its copy for this first electric model. With a model that differs from German analogues in style. Because unlike the ID.4 and Q4 e-tron, for example, The Enyaq doesn’t have that weird and overly original silhouette or design. Its design is quite simple, the shapes are well proportioned, and the radiator grille is very model-like! so far it was offered in four engine options. Version IV 60 offers 180 horsepower. there IV 80 offers 204 horsepower IV 80x reached 265 horsepower. Finally a version RS, the most powerful, develops 299 horsepower.

The maximum range is 547 kilometers, and the fast charging time allows you to go from 5 to 80% in just 38 minutes. From 2022, the sober version is called the coupe version Enyaq Coupe completes the assortment. Just like the ID.5 compared to Volkswagen’s ID.4, this more aerodynamic version further optimizes range. This can reach 559 kilometers on the Enyaq Coupé iV80.

Now under €40,000!

Today, a fifth option has been added to the Enyaq range! Enyaq iV 50 in the trade name will henceforth be provided entry-level electric crossover. “Now”, or rather “again”, because this version was once available, but was removed from the catalog. Why such a turn? Because the price war started by Tesla is forcing all manufacturers to lower prices, if not revise the range.

The Enyaq iV 50 allows Skoda to offer it now for €39,990 (excluding bonuses). Against 46,150 euros for the iV 60! At this price, the model is not undressed. He offers air conditioningAND 13-inch touch screenrear view camera and lane keeping assistance (among others). A 52 kWh battery (58 for the iV60) makes it possible the all-electric range is 366 kilometers. He already is available to orderand is configured on the Skoda website!
