Škoda is expanding its Enyaq iV line-up with the arrival of a new, all-wheel drive 80x SportLine model.

The 80x SportLine is fitted with a second electric motor that drives the front axle. The combined 265PS output of the front and rear motors means that the newest addition to the Enyaq iV range is also the fastest with a 0-62mph time of 6.9 seconds. The 80x model also delivers more torque than the standard rear-wheel drive SportLine model thanks to its twin motor arrangement. The combined torque figure for the 80x SportLine is 425Nm.

In terms of power consumption and range, the 80x SportLine has a WLTP range figure of 303 miles. Official consumption is 3.5 miles per kWh under WLTP test conditions. 80x SportLine models are equipped with 125kW rapid charging capability as standard, which means the newcomer can charge from 0-80% in 38 minutes when connected to a 150kW+ DC rapid charger. A charge from empty to full will take around 13 hours on a domestic wallbox with an output of 7.2kW.

Like the rear-wheel drive model, 80x SportLine is equipped with a sports chassis, with lower ride height. Drive Mode Select and progressive steering are also standard while Dynamic Chassis Control is available as an option.

The Enyaq iV 80x SportLine comes with full LED Matrix headlights as standard. Each Matrix high beam module features 24 LEDs, which can be controlled individually and enable the driver to have the high beam on at all times without dazzling other road users.

The 80x SportLine is priced from £46,610 OTR and available to order now. First deliveries are expected later this year.
