The Škoda Enyaq iV is a battery electric vehicle compact crossover SUV manufactured by Škoda Auto. It was introduced in September 2020 in Prague,[3] while mass production commenced in November 2020. It utilizes the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, with the Volkswagen ID.4 being a sister model.

Name

The name is derived from the Irish name Enya, which originates from the Gaelic word ‘eithne’, meaning ‘essence, spirit or principle’. The Enyaq is the first model of a new naming convention within the Škoda's range where electric models' names will start with ‘E’.[4] [5]

Overview

The production model is called Enyaq iV and was revealed on 1 September 2020.[6] It is assembled at the Škoda plant in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic for the European market. The serial production of the car for the European market in the Czech Republic commenced on 25 November 2020.[7] The first cars have been delivered to customers in the Scandinavian region in late April 2021, and in Western and Central Europe in May 2021.[8]

The Enyaq iV will be available either as rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with three different battery capacities and five performance versions. The base model will have a 55 kWh battery pack and a 109kW electric motor mounted on the rear axle. The most powerful variant will be the RS, with two motors having a combined power of 2250NaN0.

The Škoda Enyaq has a .[9]

The boot holds 585 litres, but there is no frunk (storage under the bonnet) unlike in some electric vehicles.

The Enyaq iV also has a Sportline variant, with a different interior and exterior styling and extended standard features.

On 17 March 2023, Škoda announced that an Enyaq Laurin & Klement would be launched.[10] The Skoda Enyaq Laurin & Klement 85 and 85x joins the lineup of electric vehicles on VW's MEB platform, equipped with the latest-generation APP550 electric motor. This advanced motor offers enhanced performance and improved efficiency compared to its predecessor (150 kW). Initially introduced on the Volkswagen ID.7, the APP550 drive unit delivers 210 kW of power and 550 Nm of torque. It is available in both rear-wheel and four-wheel-drive configurations for both the SUV and Coupe versions of the Enyaq. With this upgraded drivetrain, the Enyaq L&K variant boasts impressive acceleration, achieving 0 to 100 km/h in approximately 6.6 to 6.7 seconds, coming close to the sporty Enyaq RS version which achieves it in 6.5 seconds.

Enyaq Coupé

The Enyaq Coupé was officially presented on January 31, 2022, in Prague. Production started at the Mladá Boleslav plant in February 2022, with an initial production target of 120 units per day.[11] The coupé doesn't offer an entry-level version with the smaller 55kWh battery available on the regular Enyaq,[12] [13] but a sporty RS version completes the range.[14]

The coupe version is shorter in length and taller.[15]

Enyaq RS iV & Enyaq Coupe RS iV

The Enyaq Coupe RS iV (vRS in the UK) is fitted with an or net battery pack which will grant the model a WLTP driving range of 309miles. Being equipped with twin motors – one on either axle – will provide all-wheel drive and a combined power output of 2990NaN0 and maximum torque of 4600NaN0. This will make the RS variant capable of accelerating from 0- in 6.5 seconds and a top speed of 111mph. In 2022, the starting price for the Enyaq Coupé iV vRS in the UK, was £51,885.[16]

In October 2022, Škoda launched the Enyaq RS iV alongside the already available Enyaq Coupe RS iV.[17]
