After an intensive presentation campaign, Škoda finally showed a serial version of the model Enyaq IV, which is the first electric SUV of the Czech brand and technically a cousin of the upcoming Volkswagen ID.4.

In the second case, it lasts to get the largest battery (82 kWh, net 77 kWh) fills 5 to 80 percent. Pri 11 kW charging takes six to eight hours, depending on the battery.

Visually Enyaq IV corresponds to the new design philosophy of the Czech brand, which was presented with the model Ladder. A special feature is the motor mask, the vertical bars of which in higher versions are illuminated by LED diodes; there is also a horizontal LED light strip on the mask itself.
