Skoda Enyaq iV: Versions, Prices, and Range of the Family SUV

While fans of internal combustion SUVs will remain loyal to the Kodiaq, responsible family men looking to offer comfort to their little ones, but also to better respect the environment, will prefer the Skoda Enyaq iV, a spacious and 100% electric model.

Not so long ago, it was at the Geneva Motor Show in 2019 that the German-Czech manufacturer presented its Skoda Vision iV Concept, foreshadowing the brand’s electric future. It wasn’t until September 2020 that Skoda officially unveiled its flagship electric model. As the first Skoda to use the MEB platform, the Enyaq iV shares its genes with the Audi Q4 e-Tron, Volkswagen ID.4, and Cupra Born.

Thomas Schäfer, former CEO of ŠKODA AUTO, stated at the time: “The ENYAQ iV is the emblem of a new era at ŠKODA. It is our first model based on the Volkswagen Group’s modular electric platform, intelligently combining durability with ŠKODA’s typical qualities – generous space and emotional design. We manufacture this model in our historic Mladá Boleslav factory, in the heart of ŠKODA – meaning it is the only Volkswagen Group vehicle based on the MEB platform outside of Germany. This demonstrates our high level of engineering expertise and highlights the great trust Volkswagen Group places in our teams.“

Dimensions and Style of the Skoda Enyaq iV

Quite rare for an SUV, the aerodynamics are very well crafted with a Cx of 0.257, quieting critics who see these vehicles as too bulky. Some sedans cannot boast such a score! To achieve this, Skoda employed several innovations such as the active cooling shutter in the lower air intake of the front bumper. The front skirt has also been optimized, as has the flat underbody. You’ll also notice that the Skoda Enyaq is quite low-slung. The elongated roofline and the roof spoiler with integrated side fins finally reduce air turbulence at the rear. The dimensions are fairly substantial, with a length of 4.65 meters and a width of 1.88 meters.

The interior is equally impressive, with a dashboard that could be described as zen. By that, we mean that unnecessary elements have been left out, with minimal physical controls on the center console aside from warning and defrost buttons. Skoda, like the other brands in the Volkswagen Group, has simplified digital instrumentation as much as possible, to the point where the small screen looks outdated compared to the XXL screens of competitors. Fortunately, the central screen, which has recently been upgraded, now meets customer expectations. Its menus are relatively clear and computing speed is good.

This is rare enough to be noted, but Skoda offers no less than five different interior ambiance options to personalize your car

• Loft (standard)
• Lodge (€670)
• Lounge (€1,440)
• Suite (€1,660)
• EcoSuite (€2,000).

Finally, it is impossible not to mention the spaciousness of the Skoda Enyaq iV, which ranks among the best in its category. Notably appreciated is the generous space allocated to passengers’ knees and the trunk, which is as large as it is easy to load.

Moteur et Batterie du Skoda Enyaq iV

Quite rare, but Skoda offers no less than four different power outputs for its electric motor. If the 150 hp version is not yet available in our market, the lineup begins with the “60” model. It features a robust 180 hp electric motor capable of going from 0 to 100 km/h in 8.8 seconds. It is followed by the “80” version with 204 hp, which has the same torque value but the higher weight prevents it from performing significantly better (0 to 100 km/h in 8.7 seconds). If you are a fans of all-wheel drive, Skoda naturally offers this option with the “80x”. Its motor develops 265 hp and provides considerably more torque (425 Nm versus 310 Nm), enablingmuch better performance (0 to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds). The showstopper is the Skoda Enyaq iV RS, with 299 hp and 460 Nm of torque, equipped as standard with all-wheel drive, accelerating from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.4 seconds.

Regarding batteries, only two options are available: the small 58 kWh unit and the larger 77 kWh unit.

Range and Charging of the Skoda Enyaq iV

While our technical sheet reflects the manufacturer’s WLTP fuel consumption and range values, real-world results are always slightly less flattering. Nonetheless, the German-Czech SUV performs well in everyday use and can confidently serve as the main vehicle for a household.

The Skoda Enyaq iV is equipped with the small 58 kWh net battery, which allows for a real-world range of just over 280 km in mixed cycle and up to 250 km on the highway. For family use, the Skoda Enyaq iV 80 with the 77 kWh battery is much better suited, offering up to 420 km in mixed cycle and around 380 km on highways. It thus comfortably earns our approval.

Charging is straightforward, with a standard built-in charger capable of reaching 11 kW, while the base Skoda Enyaq iV can be fast-charged at up to 120 kW, with versions reaching 135 kW.

Practically, this translates to about 6 hours for a full charge with the small battery, and around 8 hours with the large battery, provided you find a wall box delivering 11 kW. On a fast charger, a full charge takes about 48 minutes for the small battery and around 1 hour for the large battery.

Price and Equipment of the Skoda Enyaq iV

Who isn’t affected by inflation today? All car brands have been forced to increase their prices, and Skoda is no exception. At the time of writing (January 2023), prices start at €46,150 for the Enyaq 60 (the only version eligible for the €5,000 bonus), then €53,190 for the Enyaq 80, which is not eligible for the bonus. For the all-wheel-drive version (80x), the price is €55,460, and €62,500 for the high-performance RS model.

In terms of equipment, Skoda offers a quite comprehensive base package. The SUV features, among other things: dual-zone automatic climate control, keyless start, 7 airbags, rearview camera, tire pressure monitoring, 19-inch alloy wheels, GPS navigation system, etc…

Optional extras include a panoramic sunroof (€1,050), heat pump (€1,100), metallic paint (€635 to €1,055), 19″ to 21″ alloy wheels (€190 to €1,540), and numerous packs!
