Keen interest in electric Skoda Enyaq iV

The Skoda Enyaq iV is available to order in the United Kingdom starting from 31,085 pounds and with a choice of two battery sizes (62kWh and 82kWh).

Meanwhile, Skoda New Zealand says it’s working closely with the factory to get the Enyaq iV here as it has plenty of public interest but no dates are locked in at this stage.

Interest can be registered here to be kept up to date with any Skoda product developments in New Zealand.

Skoda has already presented the details of five different performance variants (three with rear-wheel drive and two with four-wheel drive) and three battery sizes of its first Volkswagen Group MEB-based electric SUV.

The release of the different versions has not fully been announced.

The EV range is up to 535km (WLTP) with nearly all versions having a 160km/h top speed, the Enyaq RS iV capable of reaching 180km/h and able to tow a trailer of up to 1400kgs.

The Enyaq iV offers two powerful electric motors (132kW and 150kW) which can deliver about 310Nm of torque and reach 100km/h in 8.6 to 8.7 seconds.

It can charge from a household socket and up to 125kW on DC fast charging, getting to 80% in 38 minutes.

Instead of selecting from traditional trim levels, UK customers choose the battery size they need, select an interior design and then personalise their vehicle from a comprehensive range of equipment packs and individual options. 

From launch, the range consists of two variants; Enyaq iV 60 Nav (62kWh battery) and Enyaq iV 80 (82kWh battery).

Five design selections are available there – Loft, Lodge, Lounge, Suite and ecoSuite, all of which offer a different interior look and materials.

The entry-level Enyaq iV includes 19-inch Proteus alloy wheels, an infotainment system with satellite navigation and 13-inch screen, rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control and keyless go.

All models also feature ambient interior lighting, multifunction leather steering wheel and Front Assist as standard and Loft interior which features fabric/artificial leather seat facings and brushed aluminium decor panels as standard.

Customers choosing the 82kWh battery benefit from an increased standard specification that includes chrome detailing, front parking sensors and a rear-view camera, a heated two-spoke leather steering wheel with paddles for regenerative braking levels, Drive Mode Select and infotainment system with navigation, 19-inch Regulus alloy wheels and the option to upgrade from the standard Loft to the four other interiors.

Occupants can enjoy a spacious interior with a flat floor and a boot that can hold 585-litres of luggage, extended to 1710 litres with the rear seats folded.
