Skoda Enyaq iV shows off its futuristic interior concept

Having unveiled the prototype of the Enyaq iV electric SUV earlier this year, Skoda has now released a design sketch of the car's interior. The car will be officially unveiled on September 1, 2020.

The Enyaq iV gets a sleek, futuristic cockpit with a wide 13-inch touchscreen infotainment screen in the centre and a digital instrument cluster. It also gets a head-up display including augmented reality. The car doesn't have a conventional drive selector.

According to Skoda, natural and recycled materials have been used in the interior of the car. The seat covers are made from 40% new wool and the remaining 60% is made from polyester from recycled PET bottles. Also, extract from olive leaves was used in the tanning of the leather.

The Enyaq iV is based on VW's MEB platform. In terms of size, it is slightly smaller than the Kodiaq. The car has a flat floor thanks to the absense of a central tunnel. It has a 585 litre boot.

The Enyaq iV will be offered with either rear-wheel drive or all-wheel drive and with three battery capacities as well as five performance versions. The base Enyaq iV 50 comes with a 55 kWh battery and a 146 BHP electric motor mounted on the rear axle. It will have a range of up to 340 km on single charge. The Enyaq iV 60 has a 177 BHP electric motor and a 62 kWh battery. This version is said to have a range of 390 km per charge.

The Enyaq iV 80 has a 201 BHP electric motor and 82 kWh battery offering a maximum range of 500 km on a single charge. The Enyaq iV 80X has two electric motors - one on each axle with a combined output of 261 BHP. The RS version will also be all-wheel drive and have an output of 302 BHP. It has a claimed 0-100 km/h acceleration time of 6.2 seconds and a top speed of 180 km/h. Both all-wheel drive versions are said to have a maximum range of 460 km on single charge.

The batteries will have a charging capacity of up to 125 kW, which could recharge the battery from 10% to 80% in 40 minutes.
