Skoda demonstrates an impressive pace in mastering electric traction — the brand began producing models capable of charging from a socket just a couple of years ago. Such cars receive the iV badge, and this abbreviation covers not only pure electric cars but also plug-in hybrids. The first in this direction were the Superb iV liftback with a hybrid powertrain and the electric Citigo-e iV hatchback. A year later, in autumn 2020, the Czech manufacturer put the electric Enyaq iV crossover on the assembly line. This model turned out to be a milestone — it became the hundred-thousandth Skoda car with the iV suffix.
The Czechs are making a serious bet on the Enyaq — the model should become a truly people's electric car for Skoda. The development was carried out from scratch, and the car was initially designed exclusively as an electric vehicle. It is based on the MEB platform from Volkswagen, and this chassis in principle does not allow for the installation of an internal combustion engine.
In Ukraine, this crossover is not yet sold, but European buyers can purchase the Skoda Enyaq for at least 33,800 euros.
Speaking of prospects, by the end of the current decade, Skoda plans to introduce at least three new electric models. In addition, the brand expects to bring the share of battery-powered cars on the European market to 50–70 percent of total sales.
