Skoda is all set to premiere its Skoda Enyaq iV electric crossover today (September 1) in Prague, Czech Republic. But the buzz for the car is building up globally — all thanks to its appealing design and concept.

Skoda said that its Enyaq iV would be “another leap into the era of electric mobility.” The car will be Skoda’s first battery-electric SUV based on the Vision iV concept, which it revealed last year.

The car derived its name from an Irish name ‘enya’, meaning ‘source of life’. The ‘E’ at the beginning of the name Enyaq stands for electromobility. And similarly, the ‘Q’ at the end of the name justifies its connection to the SUV segment, the company said.

  • The revealed sketches from Skoda shows that the car derives inspiration from the tradition of Bohemian crystal art. “The precise lines, geometric arrangements, and the exceptionally clear glass surfaces are fascinating and, depending on the incidence of light and viewing angle, offer ever-changing facets,” the company said.

  • The car will be spacious and fully loaded with smart features. With a boot space of 585 litres, and “exceptionally generous legroom for the seats either side.”
  • It is confirmed that the feature list will include the newly designed head-up display and a 13-inch central screen, including augmented reality.
  • The unique thing about the car is that it uses natural and recycled materials inside the cabin, similar to the Skoda Vision IN concept. “The seat covers are made of 40% new wool and bear the Woolmark Company’s seal. The remaining 60% of the blend is polyester from recycled PET bottles,” the company revealed.

  • The entry-level model of Skoda Enyaq, the Enyaq iV 50’s rear-mounted electric motor offers an output of 109 kW, with a maximum range of up to 340 km. And, the range goes up to 390 km in the 132-kW Enyaq iV 60 models. “The top-of-the-range model accelerates from 0 to 100 km/per hour in just 6.2 seconds and has a top speed of 180 km/h. The maximum range of both all-wheel-drive variants is up to 460 km.”
  • The car can be conveniently charged at home using a wall box. But that will take nearly six to eight hours depending on the size of the battery. However, with the DC fast-charging stations, the battery can recharge from 10% to 80% in just 40 minutes.
