Skoda announces details of Enyaq iV
The new ŠKODA Enyaq iV marks a pioneering step forward in the Czech carmaker’s electromobility strategy. The first ŠKODA production model based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB modular electric car platform combines brand-typical virtues such as a generous amount of space and an emotive design with fun yet sustainable driving. There is a choice of three battery sizes and five power variants, depending on requirements. The all-electric SUV is set to be built at ŠKODA’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav, making it the first MEB-based Volkswagen Group vehicle in Europe to be produced outside Germany.
First MEB-based Škoda
The new Enyaq iV is a typical ŠKODA, but with a completely new drive concept. The Czech manufacturer’s first production model based on the MEB modular electric car platform is also ideally suited for long-distance journeys as it boasts long ranges of up to 500km in the WLTP cycle and fast charging. Owing to the vehicle’s concept, the designers were able to arrange the ŠKODA Enyaq iV’s interior in a completely new manner. This results in even more space for passengers and their luggage despite the car’s compact dimensions, while also presenting a look that is as emotive as it is modern. In addition, the Enyaq iV offers state-of-the-art connectivity as well as infotainment solutions and ŠKODA-typical Simply Clever features.
Enyaq iV set to be manufactured in Mladá Boleslav
The ŠKODA Enyaq iV will be the first MEB-based Group vehicle to roll off the production line outside of Germany. It is set to be built at ŠKODA’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav sharing a line with models that are based on the MQB platform.
The vehicle’s world premiere will also mark the start of advance sales; serial production of the ŠKODA Enyaq iV will start at the end of 2020. Its market launch is scheduled to take place at the beginning of 2021. A ‘Founder’s Edition’ equipped with special features and a different look will be limited to 1,895 units, commemorating the founding of the company 125 years ago.
