Skoda Auto India is set to launch its first electric vehicle, the Enyaq, in the Indian market on February 27, 2024. This marks the company’s entry into the electric vehicle (EV) segment, aligning with the growing demand for sustainable transportation. The Enyaq, originally unveiled globally in 2022, will reach India through the Completely Built-Up (CBU) route, utilizing Skoda’s MEB platform, shared with the Volkswagen ID.4.
Dimensions
The Enyaq distinguishes itself with a wheelbase of 2765 mm and dimensions of 4648 mm in length, 1877 mm in width, and 1618 mm in height. Sporting a two-row configuration, it offers a spacious yet compact profile, differentiating it from Skoda’s flagship SUV, the Kodiaq.
Exterior
The SUV’s design features an illuminated grille, sweptback LED headlamps, contrast black inserts, and aero-inspired alloy wheels. The rear end showcases wraparound LED tail lights, Skoda lettering, and a number plate recess, complemented by an integrated spoiler and a shark-fin antenna.
Interior
The Enyaq is expected to provide a modern and luxurious experience with amenities like an advanced driver-assistance system (ADAS), a 360-degree camera, dual all-digital displays, and a multifunction steering wheel.
Powertrain
Initially launching in the Enyaq 80 variant, it packs a 77 kWh battery offering a WLTP claimed range of 500 km. The rear-mounted electric motor generates 200 bhp and 310 Nm of torque, propelling it from 0-100 kmph in 8.5 seconds. Skoda’s move into the EV space underscores its commitment to innovation and collaboration within the Volkswagen Group.
