As the firstŠkodavehicle to leverage Volkswagens dedicated MEB electric vehicle platform, theEnyaqiVboasts an all-new drive concept, exploiting the possibilities that the advancedmodularplatform has to offer. The MEB consists of what is known as the skateboard platform, in which the battery is incorporated into the floor to save space. Three battery sizes, five power outputs ranging from 109 to 225 kW and rear- or all-wheel drive cater to many different requirements and uses. With ranges of up to 510 km* in the WLTP cycle, theEnyaqiVis an ideal everyday companion. Furthermore, it can tow trailers weighing up to 1,400 kg (8% gradient) or 1,200 kg (12% gradient).
All that electric technology is packaged within theEnyaqiV’semotive and dynamicexterior styling. The new SUV is characterised by perfect proportions and extraordinary spaciousness. It offers a similar amount of interior space as aŠkodaKodiac, despite being shorter in length than aŠkodaOctavia. As optional extras, the illuminated Crystal Face – which comes with an animated Coming/Leaving Home function – and full LED Matrix headlights adorn the striking front sporting the large ŠKODA grille. The full LEDtail lightsinclude dynamic indicators and also have an animated Coming/Leaving Home function. New assistance systems include Travel Assist, which now has even more functions, as well as remote-controlled and trained parking.
Inside, newdesignselections replace the classic trim levels and set new standards for the interior. Eachdesignselection, put together by material concept designers, provides a tasteful interior with an exceptional feel-good factor and features natural, sustainably processed and recycled materials. A new, clearer structure of the choices available – ten themed packages as well as some individual options – makes it quick and easy to customise the vehicle to suit the owner’s taste.
Battery charging and the interior’s air conditioning can be conveniently controlled remotely via theŠkodaConnect app. Škodahas developed their signature “simply clever”solutions specific to electric vehicles, such as a cleaner for the charging cable, a protective cap for the charging socket and a compartment for the charging cable under the boot floor. The new centre console arranged over two levels provides plenty of space; a clever insert ensures that the false boot floor is neat and tidy. In the EnyaqiV, the classic Škodaice scraper is located inside the car – in its tailgate to be precise.
