Skoda Enyaq BEV - What We Know So Far?
The Skoda Enyaq iV has been seen undergoing tests multiple times on Indian roads, revealing its design and other details. In terms of appearance, the Enyaq iV follows Skoda's distinctive design language, featuring a closed front grille, a common trait among electric vehicles. Globally launched in 2022, the car is available in various variants in the international market, distinguished by differences in battery capacity.
In the Indian market, we anticipate the Enyaq iV to be offered in a single top-tier 80X variant, equipped with a 77 kWh battery pack. This model supports rapid charging, allowing for a 0-80% charge in 38 minutes at 125 kW DC. The variant boasts an impressive driving range of up to 580 km per charge, and the power output from this setup can reach a peak of 265 bhp.
Moreover, it will include a comprehensive set of features such as an All-Wheel Drive (AWD) drivetrain, Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) features, a 360-degree camera, a digital instrument cluster, an infotainment screen, and a panoramic sunroof, among other amenities.
