looks good, Tesla style entertainment screen. So the upcoming VW iD4 should be very similar

Looks smart, the vRS might be worth a look as a replacement for my E-Tron in a couple of years.

[jjwilde]

Looks really nice, comes in 50,60 & 80 battery sizes. Top spec is 0-60 in 6.2s, but a bit shocking is that the 50 has a 0-60 of 11.4s! That's going to be software limited for sure.

Skoda Enyaq iV price and specs

The new Skoda Enyaq iV will cost from £33,450 when it goes on sale in the UK in late 2020. When you include the Government plug-in car grant, that price drops to £30,450.

Skoda Enyaq iV 60 – £33,450 (excluding grant)

Entry-level Enyaq iV 60 models come with 19-inch alloy wheels, rear parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, ambient cabin lighting and a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system. You also get traffic-sign recognition, automatic emergency braking and keyless start as standard.

Skoda Enyaq iV 80 – £38,950 (exclusing grant)

The Skoda Enyaq iV 80 gets the same kit as the ’60’ model but adds some extra chrome exterior trim, front parking sensors, a reversing camera and a heated leather steering wheel.

Available for ’60’ and ’80’ models, the optional £1,115 ‘Lounge’ pack adds grey leather with mustard yellow stitching. Or, you can pay £1,285 for the suite ‘Suite’ pack, which adds leather seats and gloss black trim.

Skoda Enyaq iV 80 Founders Edition – £49,995 (excluding grant)

The top-spec Founders Edition model builds on the spec of ’80’ versions with 21-inch alloy wheels, an illuminated front grille, matrix LED headlights, an upgraded black leather interior and 125kW fast-charging capability.

That front end/grill is very modern BMW?



Think I'd hold out for the Vision IV

[WonkeyDonkey]

Why are all modern cars so angry.

Not a fan of the looks, over styled, too much grill etc, rest look OK.


but wtf are they doing with the options, 50kw charger with 100 and 125 to add? no no no this isnt how you do it vag.

[Witchfinder]

We have no idea what that option will cost yet, nor what the charging curve looks like.

It looks like remarkably good value for money. If it's anything like the other Skodas I've owned, it'll be well equipped as standard, and built beautifully out of parts that have VW/Audi written on them.

Is it that big a problem? I would think the vast majority of owners wouldn’t ever need more than 50kw and if they did it wouldn’t be often.

Why pay for a feature you won’t use?

Looks like another manufacturer is doing away with wing mirrors.

I don't trust dealers to educate buyers well enough that they'll make informed decisions on this, it confuses the market and will cause a mess once in the used market.

interesting they are using drum brakes on rear on all models except the VRS. Lots of cost cuttings

Could be cost ... or no need due to regen braking.

[dxg]

Well, they stick an absolutely massive screen in the middle of the dash, and then support it with the laggiest infotainment I've seen in a long time:

Speaking as a long-term VW fan, I am really starting to think that VAG have lost it. They haven't produced anything compelling in a long time, ICE or otherwise...

Regen fine for daily stuff but on a 2000KG car I'd really want discs all round in an emergency? It's a £30-50k family car car FFS, not a cheap as chips city runaround.

That looks horrendous. Reminds me of the original infotainment system fitted to the iPace.

I think the problem they have is with so many different brands at slightly different price points they are constantly having to find something to hobble in order to justify the decision to move upwards in the hierachy?

I just noticed the Tour de France are using the Enyaq as the race director's lead car at the front.

The longest stage is 218 Km so they should be fine

They do it with Leafs in the great north run with all the camera cars etc. I believe they used to use milk floats too, it's so they don't poison the lead runners with fumes!

(anyone who bikes in a city will know what that's like!)

[stabilio]

What is it with manufactures and ‘launch editions’ recently?
