Skoda Enyaq RS iV: Now also in practical jacket
The second RS
Like Volkswagen with the GTX versions of the ID.4 and ID.5, both the Skoda Enyaq and the Enyaq Coupe are getting sporty versions. In terms of appearance, really only the roofline differs between the two models. The “Mamba Green” color – exclusive to the RS – is the same, as are the luminous “Crystal Face” grille, lowered sports suspension, diffuser and standard 20-inch (optional 21-inch) alloy wheels. So in your choice, you only need to consider which body shape you like.
Inside, the Enyaq RS stands out from less endowed Enyaqs with sport seats with integrated headrests, plenty of Alcantara and accents in Mamba Green. At startup, the screens also display various RS logos, so you never have to be mistaken about which Enyaq you are in.
Virtually identical specifications
No surprises emerge under the skin of the Skoda Enyaq RS either. Like its coupe brother, it has two electric motors – one on the front and rear axles – with a combined output of 299 hp. With that power, you whiz to 100 km/h in 6.5 seconds and the fun ends at 180 km/h. No groundbreaking performance in EV-land, but nevertheless more than smooth to keep up nicely in daily traffic.
So are there no differences at all between the regular RS version and the Coupe? No, in terms of range, the Coupe probably wins narrowly because of its better aerodynamics. Still, Skoda promises a range of more than 500 kilometers for the Enyaq RS, the exact figures are not known. If you run out of power, you can recharge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in 36 minutes at a fast-charging station with a quick-charging capacity of 135 kW.
Price Skoda Enyaq RS iV
The price of the Skoda Enyaq RS is not known at the time of writing. A comparable Volkswagen ID.4 GTX is available from €57,290, so the Skoda Enyaq RS is expected to be in the same corner in terms of price. The Enyaq Coupe RS would then be quite a bit more expensive with a starting price of €65,890.
