Electric vehicles are said to be the new normal, and hence, more of them are breaking cover in 2022. The most recent comes from the Czech Republic. This is the 2022 Skoda Enyaq RS iV. The electric SUV gets many features and design elements to discuss, but in simple words, it is a mix of the subtle Enyaq iV 80X and the rather attractive Enyaq Coupe RS iV. That being said, it gets the same powertrain as the Coupe RS version and the standard Enyaq bodyshell. So, the styling is largely familiar, but it’s also spicy.
With the RS-exclusive Mamba Green paint scheme, the Enyaq RS iV gets a slim looking nose, as Skoda has used an RS-spec bumper with sharp creases. In addition, the crystal face lights up the radiator grille, and it is surrounded by slim matrix LED headlamps. Size-around, it uses aero wheels that can be in either 20 inches or 21 inches. The tailgate is flat like the regular Enyaq iV and gets slim looking LED tail lamps, which also have dynamic-swipe for blinkers. A glossy black diffuser has also been installed around the bottom of the bumper.
Skoda Enyaq RS iV: Range and Performance
Boasting a low aerodynamic drag coefficient of 0.265, the koda Enyaq RS iV has ample performance on offer. Top speed is electronically controlled at 180 kmph, while springing from 0-100 kmph takes just 6.5 seconds. The powertrain includes an 82 kWh lithium-ion battery pack that powers a dual-motor setup, producing a combined output of 295 horsepower and 460 Nm. The range of this electric SUV is no compromise – it stands at 500 km (WLTP).

Skoda Enyaq RS iV: Interior

In terms of features, the electric SUV comes with driving modes, up to nine airbags, a large touchscreen infotainment unit with connected car technology and more.
