2021 Skoda Enyaq iV Electric Crossover To Debut On September 1

Skoda has announced it will unveil the Enyaq iV EV on September 1 in Prague, Czech Republic.

The company’s first electric crossover will be underpinned by the Volkswagen Group’s MEB versatile platform and will launch with different powertrain configurations that will include five power levels, three battery sizes, and rear- and four-wheel drive.

In the most frugal variant, the Czech automaker promises up to 310 miles (500 km) of range, measured in the WLTP cycle, as well as fast charging at up to 125 kW.

As Skoda has previously confirmed, the base model will debut with a 55 kWh battery, a 146 HP rear-mounted motor and a 211-mile (340 km) autonomy. The 178 HP variant will follow with a 62 kWh battery and 242 miles (390 km) of range, while the one that will travel for up to 310 miles (500 km) will feature a 201 HP motor and an 82 kWh battery.

Those who want the Enyaq iV with all-wheel drive will have to choose between the 262 HP and 302 HP versions, with the latter wearing the RS badge. Both models will pack the same 82 kWh battery and will have a 286-mile (460 km) range. Thanks to clever packaging, the Enyaq iV is said to offer a similar interior space to the Kodiaq mid-size crossover, despite being shorter than the compact Octavia.

Full details surrounding the company’s zero-emission crossover will be announced in a little over a month.
