The Skoda Enyaq iV is Skoda's flagship electric SUV — the brand's most significant new model in decades. Built on Volkswagen Group's MEB electric platform, shared with the VW ID.4, Audi Q4 e-tron and Cupra Born. Available in two battery sizes (60 and 82 kWh) and as FWD and AWD. It's Skoda's best-selling new model in several markets and the UK's most popular premium-positioned EV at sub-£50,000. Most UK examples are still very new.
