The new SUV version of Skoda’s Enyaq iV vRS will start from £52,670, says the manufacturer.
Joining a coupe derivative that’s already on sale, this SUV version brings greater practicality and interior space than its more glamorous sibling. It’s also cheaper, undercutting the coupe’s £54,370 starting price by £1,700.
The Enyaq iV is the first electric Skoda to get the sporty vRS treatment and comes with two electric motors – one on each axle that enable four-wheel drive – which put out 295bhp and 460Nm of torque. It makes it Skoda’s most powerful production car to date and allows for a 0-60mph top speed of 6.3 seconds and a 111mph top speed.
Large 20-inch alloy wheels that have been tailor-made for the vRS help to set it apart from the regular Enyaq, with 21-inch rims available as an option. It also features unique bumpers, as well as a ‘Crystal Face’, which is a light-up grille illuminated by 131 LEDs. Gloss black accents are used throughout the exterior as well, while revised side skirts help to give the vRS a sportier look.
Inside, the vRS has black perforated leather sports seats, a sports steering wheel and generous levels of equipment, including wireless smartphone charging, a large 13-inch touchscreen plus three-zone climate control.
ENYAQ iV vRS will be available to order in UK from 17 January 2023. The impressive vRS delivers 299 PS, max torque of 460 Nm and all-wheel drive. It has a top speed of 111 mph and WLTP range of over 321 miles. Further info https://t.co/86lE1WtO3o pic.twitter.com/cE1W124Ofy

Orders for the Skoda Enyaq iV VRS will open on January 17, with first UK deliveries not expected until June 2023.
