Skoda has officially unveiled its latest EV

The Enyaq Coupe iV, Skoda's latest electric vehicle, was presented today. It's Skoda's take on the VW ID.5, with the same coupe body and much of the same features. 

The Enyaq Coupe includes a new, smaller battery option that isn't available on the ID.5, and the lowest-end RWD model has a 4kW higher maximum power output than the ID.5. So it's not a rebadge, but if you ignore the Skoda design language adaptations, there's not much of a difference between the two.

The Enyaq Coupe is available in four different "performance levels." The iV 60 is the entry-level RWD variant, with a 62kWh gross capacity battery (58kWh net). This produces a maximum power output of 132kW (177hp) and a maximum torque of 310Nm.

The Enyaq Coupe iV 80 has an 82kWh battery capacity (77kWh useable) and a 150kW (201hp) motor with 310Nm of maximum torque.

The Enyaq Coupe iV 80x adds a front motor to the mix, resulting in a total output of 195kW (261hp) and 425Nm of maximum torque, while the AWD Enyaq Coupe RS iV achieves 220kW (295hp) and 460Nm of maximum torque. Both of these devices make advantage of the larger battery.

The larger battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 29 minutes, compared to six to eight hours when charged at home using 11 kW AC. With an extra cable, you may charge at 230V at 2.3 kW using a standard household outlet.

For the first time, the Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV is available in an RS form.

The first electric Skoda RS accelerates from zero to 100 km/h (62 mph) in 6.5 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), which is 20 km/h (12 mph) faster than the rest of the new coupe's variations. The RS is only available in the "striking" Mamba Green colour scheme.

The Enyaq Coupe iV has a drag coefficient of 0.234, allowing the iV 80 variant to travel 545 kilometres on the WLTP cycle. A heat pump is also available as an alternative for more efficient heating.

The 80x and RS models can tow trailers weighing up to 1,400 kg (3,086 pounds) up to 8% slopes, whereas the 80 and 60 models can only tow trailers weighing up to 1,200 kg (3,086 pounds) (2,645 pounds). The automobile has a 2,765 mm wheelbase " (108"). It measures 4,653 mm in length (183"), 1,879 mm in width (73"), and 1,622 mm in height " (63").

The Sportline and RS trim levels come standard with a "sports chassis," which is 15mm lower in the front and 10mm lower in the rear than the others. Other sporty design elements include the gloss black Skoda grille surround, window trim, and rear diffuser, as well as the model names, tailgate branding, and front apron air curtain trim. On the back bumper of the RS is a full-length red reflector.

Inside, there's a 13-inch infotainment screen in the centre and a 5.3-inch "Digital Cockpit" in front of the driver, with an optional head-up display with augmented reality. Skoda's ME 3 system enables wifi Android and the Laura digital assistant understands 15 languages.

The panoramic black glass roof is included as standard. The seat covers are comprised of 40% wool and 60% polyester from PET bottles that have been recycled. Ecologically tanned leather is also available as an option. A heated steering wheel and paddles to regulate the energy recovery level are available on models with a larger battery. The trunk has a capacity of 570 litres.
