Škoda Enyaq Sportline iV, the Czech electric SUV reveals its sportier side

Škoda has fully entered the world of electric SUVs with the Enyaq iV, a model that reached the Spanish market practically to close out 2020 with a positioning in which, for the time being, it has no direct rivals, which is undoubtedly a major advantage for the Enyaq iV. To make it stand out even more from the rest, Škoda will expand the range of the Enyaq iV with the arrival of the Sportline trim, a name you already know from other models of the Czech brand.

With the Sportline trim, we will reinforce the Enyaq iV with a sportier image, not only on the exterior with design details specific to this trim but also on the interior, with the advantage that Škoda will allow it to be chosen in all three powertrain variants available. If everything goes according to the brand’s plans, customers who opt for this electric SUV will be able to choose the Sportline trim at the end of next summer.

On the exterior of the Škoda Enyaq Sportline iV, numerous elements will be painted in gloss black, giving it a distinctive character. At the front, this colour is used for the grille surround and the mouldings of the side and central air intakes of the bumper, as well as the addition of a specific lower spoiler, and as standard it will come equipped with full LED Matrix headlights. On the sides there are skirts in the same colour as the bodywork, and in gloss black are the mirror housings, the window frames, the roof bars and, finally, at the rear, the lower part of the bumper. The finishing touch is provided by the wheels, with a choice between the Vega and Betria models, both available in 20- or 21-inch sizes.

With the arrival of the Enyaq iV, Škoda introduced what it calls “design selections”, which draw inspiration from environments and use colours and materials that are combined in a carefully considered way. For the Sportline trim we will have one of these specific “design selections”, with the roof lined in black, dashboard upholstered in black synthetic leather with grey contrast stitching, carbon-effect trim, sport seats with integrated headrests upholstered in Suedia microfibre and grey accents, a sport steering wheel upholstered in leather with grey stitching, aluminium-look pedals and floor mats with grey edging.

As I mentioned at the beginning, the Enyaq Sportline iV can be chosen in all three available powertrain variants: the Enyaq Sportline iV60 is rear-wheel drive with 132 kW and 310 Nm of torque; the Enyaq Sportline iV80 with 150 kW, whose electric motor also drives the rear wheels; and finally the Enyaq Sportline iV80x with two electric motors and all-wheel drive, producing a combined output of 195 kW together with 425 Nm of torque.
