ŠKODA confirms Enyaq iV

ŠKODA Enyaq iV officially opens order books for Enyaq iV

ŠKODA is highlighting that its new all-electric Enyaq iV model remains eligible for the scheme. Buyers of electric vehicle with an On-The-Road price of £35,000 and under will qualify for the grant.

With the new grant applied, the entry-level Enyaq iV is available from just £31,585 OTR. This would make it one of the best value all-electric family cars on the market.

Based on the Volkswagen Group’s modular electrification toolkit (MEB). The highly-awaited all-electric SUV range is offered with two battery size options. They will be capable of returning a WLTP combined range of up to 333 miles on a single charge*.

The Enyaq iV 60 Nav model delivers a combined range of 256 miles. The car can be charged to 80% in just 35 minutes, when fitted with the 100kW charging option. The model comes with a generous equipment list that includes.

  • 19-inch Proteus alloy wheels
  • infotainment system with satellite navigation and 13-inch screen
  • rear parking sensors
  • dual-zone climate control
  • keyless go

All models in the range feature ambient interior lighting, multifunction leather steering wheel and Front Assist as standard.

The new Enyaq iV introduces a new way for customers to perfectly tailor the car to their tastes and requirements. 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.

New Enyaq iV 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 only) 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 be charged at home overnight using a wallbox of up to 7.2kW. Depending on the battery size, the charging process with a 7.2kW wallbox takes approximately  9 hours 30 minutes for the 62 kWh and approximately 13 hours for the 82 kWh battery (both to 100% charge). As a third charging option, the vehicle can be connected to rapid DC charging points with a charging capacity of up to 125 kW. This allows the Enyaq iV 80 to be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in as little as 38 minutes and 35 minutes for the Enyaq iV 60 Nav.

Performance and range

The entry level 62kWh battery model is equipped with a 179PS (132kW) motor that drives the rear wheels through a single-speed transmission. It has a WLTP combined range of up to 256 miles on a single charge. The larger 82kWh model generates 204PS (150kW) and is capable of returning up to 333 miles on a single charge (WLTP)*.

Design and practicality

Measuring 4,649 millimetres long and 1,879 wide, the Enyaq iV 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 has a cabin unburdened by the packaging compromises of a traditional internal combustion engine car, as a result, occupants can enjoy a spacious interior with a flat floor and a boot that can hold 585-litres of luggage. This can be extended to 1,710 litres with the rear seats folded.
