The Škoda Enyaq iV is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by Škoda Auto. It was introduced in September 2020 in Prague,[6] while mass production commenced in November 2020. It is the first Škoda vehicle to utilize the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, with the Volkswagen ID.4 being a sister model.[7]

The name is derived from the Irish name Enya, which originates from the Gaelic word ‘eithne’, meaning ‘essence, spirit or principle’. The Enyaq is the first model of a new naming convention within the Škoda's range where electric models' names will start with ‘E’.[8][9]

Production model

The production model is called Enyaq iV and was revealed on 1 September 2020.[10] It is assembled at the Škoda plant in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic for the European market.[7] The serial production of the car for the European market in the Czech Republic commenced on 25 November 2020.[1] The first cars have been delivered to customers in the Scandinavian region in late April 2021, and in Western and Central Europe in May 2021.[11]

The Enyaq iV will be available either as rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive, with three different battery capacities and five performance versions. The base model will have a 55 kWh battery pack and a 109 kW (148 PS; 146 bhp) electric motor mounted on the rear axle. The most powerful variant will be the RS, with two motors having a combined power of 225 kW (306 PS; 302 bhp).

The Škoda Enyaq has a drag coefficient of 1px;">d=0.257.[12]

The boot holds 585 litres, but there is no frunk (storage under the bonnet) unlike in some electric vehicles.

The Enyaq iV also has a Sportline variant, with a different interior and exterior styling and extended standard features.

Concepts

Prior to the presentation of the Enyaq under its current name, two concept cars had been presented: Its first development version, the Vision E, was introduced in 2017, and its second version, called the Vision iV, was introduced in March 2019.

Vision E

The Vision E was unveiled at the 2017 Auto Shanghai and is scheduled to be produced from the second half of 2020.[15] The Vision E has four-wheel drive, two electric motors with a combined output of 225 kW (306bhp),[16] level 3 autonomy capability and 500 kilometres (310 mi) range.[15] Top speed of Škoda Vision E is 180 km/h (110 mph).[17]

Vision iV

The exterior of the Vision iV concept is 92-95 percent identical to the upcoming production version. It has an 83 kWh battery pack, a 500 km (310 mi) WLTP range and 302 hp (225 kW) power output.[3] Škoda Vision iV accelerate from 0–100 km/h (0–62 mph) in just 5.9 seconds.[18] The concept is 4,655 mm long, 1,926 mm wide, 1,603 mm high, it uses 22-inch wheels and has 550 liters of trunk space.[3] The Vision iV is a next development stage of the car and the last step prior to series production, revealed in March 2019.[19][20]

Safety assist

The safety assist feature is taken into account in the 2021 EuroNCAP rating:

The ENYAQ iV has a speed assistance system as standard. This uses a camera and digital mapping to determine the local speed limit and the driver can choose to allow the system to adjust the speed automatically. A seatbelt reminder is standard for all seating positions. A fatigue-detection system monitors driver alertness but this is available as an option only and was not included in the assessment. Lane assistance warns the driver if the car is drifting out of lane and gently corrects the vehicle path. The system also intervenes more aggressively in some more critical situations. The AEB system performed well in tests of its response to other vehicles, with collisions avoided or mitigated in almost all scenarios.
