Skoda’s next car launch timeline confirmed

Skoda has finally found some good direction in the Indian market. Its ‘Project 2.0’ has paid rich dividends to the brand in terms of sales. Now, Skoda wants to bring more cars to tap into this growth. Skoda’s next car could be the Enyaq iV. The brand has been testing the car in the country and now Skoda has confirmed its launch timeline. In today’s article, let’s talk about Skoda’s next car.

New development

The EV market is growing in India with some premium EVs like IONIQ-5, EV6 etc hitting the Indian market. Skoda also wants a piece of this newfound segment, and for that, it has the Enyaq iV. According to company officials, the Enyaq iV will be launched in the country by March 2024. The Enyaq will be the brand’s first EV and Skoda will be closely monitoring the response it garners. With that, Skoda could launch more EVs in India. 

Next Skoda car – Design

Unlike some of the other EVs, the Enyaq iV comes with a proper big SUV design. The Enyaq iV measures 4,648mm in length, 1,877mm in width & 1,618mm in height. It sits on a wheelbase of 2,765mm, which is similar to the Kodiaq. Coming back to the design, we have the traditional grille but closed-off to highlight the EV nature. Also, we have sharp-looking headlamps and lots of cuts & creases. In the side profile, you can see the road presence of the Enyaq iV. At the rear, we again have sharp-looking tail lamps completing the look.  

Specifications

As stated above, Skoda is testing the Enyaq iV in India. The test car is the ‘80x’ variant which is the top-end model with all the bells and whistles. Globally, this variant comes with a 77kWh battery pack which gives a claimed range of 513kms(WLTP cycle). This battery pack is paired with a dual-motor setup with all-wheel drive functionality churning out 265bhp and 420Nm of torque.

Next Skoda car – Features

The interior layout of the Enyaq iV does have some resemblance to other Skoda cars but also gets some unique touches. Skoda has continued with its AC vents layout, but the instrument cluster is unique jetting out from the dashboard. Other features include a 13-inch infotainment system with soft-touch materials, leather upholstery, an all-digital instrument cluster, ambient lighting, and more.
