Škoda is expanding its vRS family to include another all-electric model – the Enyaq iV vRS.

Just like the Enyaq Coupé iV vRS, the Czech carmaker has opted for two motors with a total system output of 299 PS and all-wheel drive for the top version of the SUV. It also offers a range of over 310 miles in the WLTP cycle.

Škoda’s vRS line-up has been expanded to include a second all-electric model – the new Enyaq iV vRS. The SUV features all wheel drive and two electric motors with a system output of 299 PS as does the Enyaq Coupé iV vRS. This makes the two vRS versions of the Enyaq iV family the most powerful vehicles in Škoda’s portfolio.

The Enyaq iV vRS has sports suspension as standard, 20-21-inch wheels and distinctive vRS features, to make it recognisable as a vRS model. With a top speed of 111mph, it is 12mph faster than the other Enyaq iV models, with 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds and maximum torque of 460Nm. Its 82kWh battery gives the model a maximum range of over 310 miles in the WLTP cycle. Thanks to a maximum charging power of 135kW, the Enyaq iV vRS’s lithium-ion battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in 36 minutes at fast-charging stations.

The Enyaq iV vRS sports a grille in high-gloss black, black window frames, exterior mirror covers and rear diffuser, as well as the Škoda wordmark and model designation at the rear. The front apron sports high-gloss black accents on the air curtain surrounds, which are E-shaped on the vRS model. The side skirts are painted in the body colour and the red reflector in the rear apron runs across the entire width of the vehicle – a distinguishing feature of all Škoda vRS models. The front wings bear green vRS logos, and the Enyaq iV vRS comes with the Crystal Face as standard; 131 LEDs illuminate the vertical ribs as well as the horizontal bar of the Škoda grille. They combine with the full LED Matrix headlights and full LED rear lights, both of which come as standard on the vRS model.

As standard, the Enyaq iV vRS comes with black 20-inch Taurus wheels, while anthracite-coloured 21-inch Vision wheels are available as an option. Another option for the Enyaq iV vRS is a large panoramic sunroof, which can be opened halfway at the front.

The interior, which is predominantly black, is characterised by a sporty ambience typical of the vRS series. The Enyaq iV vRS’s standard equipment includes carbon-look decorative trim on the dashboard and door panels as well as aluminium design pedal covers and heated sports seats with integrated headrests, bearing the vRS logo. A 3-zone climate control system, LED ambient lighting that also illuminates the dashboard and door panels, as well as the Phone Box for inductive smartphone charging also come as standard.
