ŠKODA AUTO expands its vRS family with another all-electric model: the Enyaq iV vRS
Skoda has unveiled a new all-electric model, which has been dubbed the Skoda Enyaq iV vRS. As the name suggests, this is a version based on the popular Skoda Enyaq iV, just as there is also the Enyaq iV Coupé vRS version.
As with the Enyaq Coupé iV vRS, the Czech company has equipped the vehicle with two electric motors that provide all-wheel drive and give it a total power output of 220 kW (299 hp) and 160 Nm. It also has an excellent drag coefficient of 0.265 cw. This new variant can reach top speeds of 180 km/h and is capable of accelerating from 0-100 km/h in 6.5 seconds.
All this, offering a range of more than 500 kilometres in WLTP cycle, thanks to its 82 kWh battery. With a maximum charging power of 135 kW, the Skoda Enyaq iV vRS can be recharged from 10 to 80% in just 36 minutes.
The vehicle measures 4.65 metres long, 1.87 metres wide and 1.60 metres high, with a wheelbase of 2.76 metres. The boot has a capacity of 585 litres, which is 15 litres larger than the Enyaq Coupé iV vRS and can be increased to 1,710 litres if the rear seats are folded down.
The Enyaq iV vRS has a dynamic appearance, with sports suspension as standard (lowering the body by 15 millimetres at the front axle and 10 millimetres at the rear axle), 20-inch wheels in black or 21-inch wheels in grey, as well as distinctive features that make it easily distinguishable as the more powerful vRS variant.
It also comes with an optional panoramic roof, which can be partially opened. The vehicle’s central screen is 13 inches and the instrument panel is 5.3″, with the option of adding a head-up display. The Skoda Enyaq iV vRS is offered in the full range of colours of the other versions, with the addition of the colour ‘Hyper Green’, which is exclusive to the vRS models. Inside, two finishes exclusive to the vRS variant are also offered.
Skoda’s Enyaq iV family is based on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform and is produced at Skoda’s plant in Mladá Boleslav (Czech Republic). In fact, the Enyaq iV and Enyaq Coupé iV are the only MEB models produced in Europe outside Germany.
Škoda has announced that the 100,000th car in the Enyaq iV range will roll off the production line in the next few days.
