The all-new fully-electric ENYAQ iV was unveiled on Tuesday night (1 September 2020) in Prague. Click here to watch the unveil again.
The ŠKODA ENYAQ iV SUV is the brand’s first series-production vehicle to be based on the Volkswagen Group’s modular electrification toolkit (MEB). The ground-breaking all-electric SUV will be available with two battery size options offered in rear-wheel drive and prices starting from £33,450 excluding the OLEV Plug-in Vehicle Grant (PiVG).
A new era in trims
ENYAQ iV introduces a new range structure based around battery sizes rather than traditional trim designations. Customers can choose between two battery pack sizes; 62kWh (60) and 82kWh (80) each with different levels of specification. If they then wish, customers can also change the interior look and feel of their vehicle by selecting one of the new interior design pack upgrades.
Charging options
All ENYAQ iV models have a minimum DC rapid charging capability of 50kW as standard. Customers can specify higher 100kW (for 62kWh battery) and 125kW (for 82kWh battery) DC charge rates as options.
The ENYAQ iV offers customers three charging options. In addition to using a standard household 230V socket with 2.3 kW alternating current (AC), it can charged at home overnight using a wall box of up to 7kW. Depending on the battery size, the charging process takes eight to 11 hours. As a third charging option, the vehicle can be connected to rapid DC charging (DC rapid charging capability of 50kW as standard ) points with a charging capacity of up to 125 kW (available as an optional extra). This allows the ENYAQ iV to be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in just 40 minutes.
As part of ŠKODA's ENYAQ iV proposition, the brand will also offer customers the opportunity to buy a ŠKODA wall box. The ŠKODA iV Charger Connect+, alongside our installation service, will allow customers to conveniently charge their ENYAQ iV at home.
Batteries and range
The entry-level 62kWh battery model is equipped with a 180PS (132kW) motor that drives the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission. It has a WLTP range of up to 260 miles on a single charge. The larger 82kWh RWD model generates 204PS (150kW) and is capable of returning up to 310 miles on a single charge (WLTP).
iV design and practicality
The ENYAQ iV ushers in a new era of ŠKODA interior design. As customers have come to expect from the brand, all ENYAQ iV variants offer state-of-the-art connectivity and infotainment features. The driver is shown all of the relevant information on a free-standing, 13-inch central display and, if desired, a head-up display with augmented reality. A permanent Internet connection guarantees that all information is always up-to-date.
Measuring 4,648 millimetres long and 1,877 wide, the ENYAQ iV SUV delivers the space and practicality customers have come to expect from ŠKODA’s award-winning SUV models. Thanks to its all-electric platform, ŠKODA’s design team has been able to completely reimagine the ENYAQ iV’s interior architecture. With the traction battery housed in the floor and a compact motor mounted beneath the boot floor, the ENYAQ iV cabin offers more space than a traditional internal combustion engine car. The boot can hold 585-litres of luggage.
