Official : Skoda Enyaq iV SUV with 510 km of range

The Skoda Enyaq iV SUV, which is based on the Group’s MEB platform, has been officially unveiled

Skoda Enyaq iV SUV is the first pure electric Skoda based on the MEB platform where the top version offers 510 km of range. The model’s name comes from the Irish name “Enya”, which means “source of life”. Enya’s etymology comes from the Irish word “Eithne”, which means “substance”, “spirit” or “principle”.

The Enyaq iV SUV has a very attractive and dynamic design and unique features. One of them is the mask with the illuminated vertical LED grilles. The electric SUV’s headlights feature full-LED matrix technology with the hexagonal shape of the main LED units. Skoda also explains that LED bodies are inspired by traditional Bohemian crystals.

Enyaq iV with a length of 4,649 mm, width 1,879 mm, height 1,616 mm and wheelbase 2,765 mm has similar dimensions to Kodiaq. The volume of the luggage compartment reaches 585 liters. It also has low rolling resistance tyres (with 18 to 21 inch wheels), and its aerodynamics are very good for an SUV, with the drag cd coefficient being from 0.27.

The “Founder’s Edition” of the model is equipped with special features and special appearance, with its production limited to 1,895 units, a tribute to the year of the company’s founding, 125 years ago.

Its dashboard shows some similarities to that of the new Octavia and is elegant and modern. It also impresses the very large central display of the 13-inch infotainment system, the digital instrument panel, the head-up dislpay and the few physical buttons on the center console. Behind the steering wheel of the Enyaq iV there is another screen, for the digital instrument panel.

Skoda will offer Εnyaq iV for the first time design options instead of the usual equipment lines. Among the options will be the seat linings made of 40% wool and woolmark seal and the remaining 60% will be a polyester blend of recycled PET bottles. Also the brown (cognac) skin has taken its color from the olive tree leaves.

A decorative lining extends the entire width of the dashboard up to the door panels, enhancing the sense of space. Also, under the main screen, there is an extension with soft material that serves to touch the driver’s hand and handle the touchscreen better. The model also offers modern connectivity and entertainment solutions, as the car is permanently connected to the internet and ensures that all applications are always up to date.
