A mid-life refresh in 2017 helped to keep the Qashqai - the original and definitive crossover - close to the top of pile, but an all-new version is due in 2022 and frankly it can't come soon enough. Skoda has officially unveiled the Enyaq iV, following a leak earlier today. Previewed by last year’s Vision iV concept, the Enyaq iV is a stylish electric crossover that features a fully enclosed.
Over two months after the Enyaq iV concept was teased by Skoda Auto, the carmaker has announced that the all-electric crossover will make its world debut at Prague on September 1, 2020. Skoda’s first EV, the Enyaq iV is based on the MEB architecture of the Volkswagen Group. So, you might say it’s the sibling of the upcoming Volkswagen ID.4 electric SUV.
Re: The Skoda Kushaq crossover, now unveiled! Thanks @octy17, @raaj.bhalla and @yesyeswe. That sounds very reassuring, looks like I'm going to have to wait for the Kushaq. This is our in-depth review of the 2021 Skoda Octavia Scout. We're taking a look at Exterior, Interior and the driving experience. And we're also taking a lo. The new Skoda Kamiq is the Czech brand's third SUV, and the new junior crossover will be shown at the 2019 Geneva motor show - it's the Czech equivalent of the Seat Arona and forthcoming VW T-Cross.
Highlighted Specifications of Skoda Enyaq iV
- It’ll be available in five variants: 50, 60, 80, 80X, and vRS.
- Every version will have different configurations regarding power, range, battery capacity, and drivetrain.
- It will have a 13-inch touchscreen, head-up monitor, and a boot room of 585 liters.
- Its appearance in teased concept photos is more akin to a crossover than an SUV.
- This will be in competition with the new Volkswagen ID.4 hybrid SUV.
The Enyaq iV will be delivered in five variants: 50, 60, 80, 80X, and a performance-oriented vRS. Each model features various powertrain configurations with different tuning states, battery capacity, and drivetrain. Here’s a closer look at them:
Skoda Crossover Price
Skoda Enyaq | 50 | 60 | 80 | 80X | vRS |
Power | 148PS | 179PS | 204PS | 265PS | 305PS |
Drivetrain | Rear-wheel drive | back-wheel drive | Rear-wheel drive | All-wheel drive | All-wheel drive |
Battery size | 52kWh | 58kWh | 77kWh | seventy-seven kWh | 77kWh |
Range (WLTP claimed) | 340km | 390km | 500km | 460km | 460km |
At a 0-100kmph sprint time of 6.2 seconds and a max speed of 180kmph, the range-topping vRS is of course the fastest. But this value comes at the expense of capacity since, at 500 km, the 80 version provides 40 km more range in one single charge.
Battery
The Enyaq’s battery pack also supports fast-charging up to 125kW, juicing up the crossover in just 40 minutes from 0-80 percent. Both models have an electric motor at the rear axle with all-wheel-drive versions that benefit from another front-axle electric motor.
Although the teased prototype is shod in heavy camouflage we may tell that the overall profile of the Enyag iV looks more like a crossover than an SUV. This also features some typical Skoda parts such as butterfly grille, sleek headlamps and tail lamps in C-shaped form.

Prepare until the end of this year for the Skoda Enyaq iV to come to the international market. There’s no word on whether the electric crossover will make it to Indian shores, but in the near future, it is likely to happen.
This will mark the entrance of Skoda into the all-electric market
Interior sketch
Skoda’s first-ever EV built from the ground up, the Enyaq iV, is scheduled to make its global debut on September 1. The Czech carmaker has already unveiled the exterior of the SUV, although of a pre-production version wearing Skoda ‘s green camouflage. Now, it’s published the first drawing of the interior of the electric crossover, giving us a glimpse of the dashboard configuration of the Enyaq iV.
- Gains a 13-inch infotainment screen and a double-speed steering wheel.
- It has a flat floor and a wide boot of 585 liters.
- Should make their world debut on September 1.
The interior of the Skoda Enyaq iV seems to have been influenced by the fourth-gen Octavia’s. The sketch reveals a 13-inch infotainment system that provides access to nearly all the controls mounted on top of the dash. Skoda notes that the midsection of the multilayer dashboard is inspired by the butterfly grille of the Czech brand. We do like the special two-speed steering wheel and toggle switches under the AC vents from Skoda.
Thanks to the streamlined drive selector the lower central console is functional, freeing up plenty of room. The middle passenger will also rejoice in the rear seat, as the Enyaq should have a flat floor. This also boasts a large boot of 585 liters.
Skoda used natural and recycled fabrics inside the Enyaq iV. Seat upholstery on selected models is made from 40 percent wool while the rest is a polyester mix from recycled PET bottles. For through predefined bundles featuring different themes and features there will be plenty of customization choices on offer. Many of the features listed in the Enyaq iV include a head-up display with virtual reality, connected car technology, and cruise control.
Skoda Enyaq iV Powertrain
The Skoda Enyaq iV specifications and powertrain options have already been announced. Electric crossover with both rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drivetrains will be offered. Enthusiasts should also rejoice as a souped-up vRS version will be on sale.

Skoda’s first electric vehicle will debut on September 1 and will lock horns with the Volkswagen ID.4 when it is launched. However, the Enyaq iV is highly unlikely to make its way to India. Yet a few of those models of the vRS could satisfy us and Skoda enthusiasts. How does it mean, Skoda?
Skoda Crossover
Some 111 millimeters (4.37 inches) longer and 48 millimeters (1.88 inches) wider than before, the all-new Fabia will add 50 additional liters of trunk capacity for a total of 380 liters (13.4 cubic feet) with the rear seats upright and 1,200 liters (42.3 cubic feet) with both partitions folded into the floor. Two design sketches offer a good look at the restyled grille with black ribs and chrome surrounds. LED headlights that help the urban dweller stand out in the crowd, L-shaped daytime running lights, and optional full-LED taillights are on the menu as well, along with double-spoke machined alloy wheels.
Active shutters in the lower inlet of the front bumper, an elongated roof spoiler with side finlets, and very slim mirrors are worthy of your attention too. Skoda isn’t willing to share any details about the oily bits at the present moment, but it’s not exactly hard to guess what engines are in the offing.
Like the A0-underpinned Polo, the Fabia will offer three-cylinder gasoline and bi-fuel powerplants and the 1.5-liter TSI evo four-cylinder turbo. The four-cylinder TDI turbo diesel won’t return to the lineup, which is understandable if you look at the decreasing take-up rate of diesel-engined passenger cars in the European Union and the UK.
A five-speed manual will be the only transmission choice for low-powered engines that will appeal to fleet operators. A six-speed manual and a seven-speed DSG dual-clutch transmission will complete the lineup, and obviously enough, every variant of the Fabia will feature front-wheel drive.
