With the new ENYAQ iV, ŠKODA AUTO is also launching a clear new product range structure and an innovative interior concept as it enters the era of electric mobility. The first ŠKODA model based on the Volkswagen Group’s modular electrification toolkit (MEB) offers customisable Design Selections for the interior. The optional Design Selections are oriented towards modern living environments and extend the existing equipment lines. The colours and materials are perfectly coordinated. In the following interview, Kateřina Vránová, Head of Colour & Trim Design at ŠKODA AUTO and her colleague Stefan Webelhorst, talk about the selection of materials, many of which are natural, sustainably processed or recycled, and demonstrate in a video how easy it is to configure the new ŠKODA ENYAQ iV in just six steps.
Efficient, emotive and electrifying – these attributes neatly sum up the ENYAQ iV. In launching its first all-electric SUV, the Czech car manufacturer has taken the biggest step yet in its electromobility strategy. The new ENYAQ iV is the first ŠKODA production model to be based on Volkswagen Group’s MEB modular electric car platform. It is built at ŠKODA’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav, making it the only MEB-based model in Europe to be manufactured outside of Germany. ŠKODA’s new flagship boasts generous amounts of space as is typical of the brand, and – thanks to its emotive design language – its appearance is electrifying too. Inside, new Design Selections replace the classic trim levels, while a clear and new structure of the options available means the car can be configured with just a few clicks. The ENYAQ iV comes with rear- or all-wheel drive, and there are five power levels and three battery sizes to choose from. The range of more than 520 km in the WLTP cycle is perfectly suitable for travelling long distances. The car will be launched in the spring of 2021.

Škoda has set two official world ice drift records with the Enyaq RS iV SUV, the brand’s second all-electric sporting model. The records for the ’Longest Continuous Vehicle Drift on Ice’ and the ‘Longest Continuous Vehicle Drift on Ice (electric car)’, have been verified by GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS. They were set by motoring journalist Richard Meaden on a circular track measuring 188.496 m in circumference on the frozen Stortjärnen lake near Östersund, Sweden, on Thursday 19 January 2023.The first record broken by Škoda on the Stortjärnen lake was for the Longest Continuous Vehicle Drift on Ice. Driving the recently launched Škoda Enyaq RS iV SUV, Richard Meaden set a new officially-verified record by holding the car in a controlled slide for more than 15 minutes and 7.351 km. Meaden’s drift beat the previous record of 6.231 km, set in China in 2022. In breaking the first record, Meaden and the Škoda Enyaq RS iV SUV set a second record for the ‘Longest Continuous Vehicle Drift on Ice (electric car)’.With a GUINNESS WORLD RECORDS adjudicator present and international drifting judge David Kalas as a witness, Škoda set the record on the brand’s fourth day on location following numerous practice runs with different tyre combinations. A total of 18 hours of drifting were put in across the full five days in sub-zero temperatures to achieve the perfect drift.
Both body variants of the Enyaq iV BEV family are available in two configurations with all-wheel drive. The Enyaq iV 80x and Enyaq Coupé iV 80x as well as the Enyaq RS iV and Enyaq Coupé RS iV each boast two electric motors. The permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM) on the rear axle produces 150 kW and the induction motor (IM) on the front axle delivers 80 kW. Controlled electronically, they transmit their power directly to the respective axle, thus enabling all-wheel drive. The system output of the Enyaq iV 80x and the Enyaq Coupé iV 80x is 195 kW, with a maximum torque of 425 Nm. The system output of the two RS models is 220 kW, with up to 460 Nm of torque. This makes the Enyaq iV family RS models Škoda’s most powerful production vehicles currently available. Unlike the rear wheel-drive versions, Enyaq iV models with all-wheel drive give drivers the option of the Traction driving profile; constant four-wheel drive is available at speeds of up to 20 km/h for driving on unpaved roads or slippery surfaces. The Enyaq iV family 80x and RS versions can tow trailers with a maximum weight of 1,400 kilograms on gradients of up to eight per cent. Trailer Manoeuvring Assist is available as an option to help manoeuvre the trailer. In 2022, Škoda Auto produced 15,846 units of the Enyaq iV versions with all-wheel drive.
