Skoda confirms its new performance EV, the Enyaq iV vRS

KUALA LUMPUR: Skoda company boss, Thomas Schafer has confirmed the debut of a striking vRS version of the Enyaq iV SUV. It was only a while back that Skoda unveiled the Enyaq Coupe vRS, its first all-electric performance model which is a coupe sibling to the standard Enyaq.

Wondering why Skoda chose the Enyaq Coupe for its electric vRS line-up? Well, that’s because of the model’s striking, sporty looks. When asked about an even hotter version of the existing Enyaq SUV, Schafer in an interview with Autocar UK said ‘Absolutely’.

How different will the Enyaq iV vRS from the standard model?

Well, Skoda’s new performance EV gets some amazing performance-inspired features like bespoke 20-inch wheels (21-inchers, optional), vRS-specific styling, and new hues. The list also includes sporty bumpers, a sports chassis, a leather-filled cabin, and a light-up ‘Crystal Face’.

Where will the power come from?

The EV will use a 299 hp twin-motor setup allowing it to complete the century sprint in 6.5 seconds. Also part of the kit is a 77kWh battery pack offering a range of 483 km.

Price?

The new Skoda Enyaq Coupe vRS iV will be the firm's most expensive car to date starting at £51,885 (RM 283,928)and Schafer isn’t worried about getting the customers interested.

Skoda is opening the ordering books for Enyaq iV vRS later this month with deliveries beginning in July 2022.
