New Skoda Enyaq iV vRS added to all-electric SUV’s line-up

Following in the wheeltracks of the sleeker Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV vRS, the Czech brand has revealed a performance version of the regular Enyaq iV SUV.

The more practical electric vRS features the same 82kWh battery as its sibling, supplying a dual-motor all-wheel drive system with a total of 295bhp and 460Nm of torque. This output is identical to the coupe’s, and so is the 6.5-second 0-62mph time.

Skoda claims the range stands at 310 miles, while 135kW recharging capability means the battery can be topped up to 80 per cent in as little as 35 minutes. The regular SUV-bodied Enyaq vRS is more practical than the coupe because the boxier shape means 15 litres more boot space, at 585 litres in total.

In typical vRS fashion, this hottest Enyaq features a gloss black grille surround, which is also illuminated by 131 LEDs as standard. The door mirrors, rear diffuser insert and E-shaped air curtain intakes are also gloss black.

Green vRS logos feature, while sports suspension means a 15mm drop in ride height at the front and 10mm at the rear; 20-inch wheels are standard, while 21-inch items are optional. Prices are likely to start from around £53,000.
