Electric Škoda Enyaq iV makes its debut in Sligo

THE Škoda Enyaq iV made its debut in Sligo showrooms this month. The Enyaq iV is Škoda’s first fully electric vehicle. It was revealed in September of last year, with the first Irish sales pre-booked online in November.

The Enyaq iV is an SUV driven by an emission-free electric motor delivering power to the rear wheels. The Enyaq iV boasts the latest modern technology and driver safety systems, as well as a spacious and comfortable interior crafted from quality materials. Boot capacity, at 585 litres, is one of the largest of any electric vehicle on the market.

Offered in two versions, the entry Enyaq 60 is powered by a 58 kW/h battery with a range of up to 412 km. The Enyaq 80 features a 77kW/h battery and has a range of up to 535 km on the WLTP cycle. In geographical terms, a one-way trip from Cahersiveen to Carndonagh is achievable when fully charged. In addition to superior range and performance, the Enyaq 80 version has greater equipment levels and enhanced exterior elements. All Enyaq iV vehicles come with the latest MIB infotainment systems with 13” colour touch screen display with an accompanying digital dashboard. From the exterior, impressive optional 21” Betria alloy wheels are the largest ever fitted to a Škoda.

John Donegan, brand director of Škoda Ireland, said: “The Enyaq iV has been our most hotly anticipated model since the launch of the Kodiaq.

“Although there are many electrified vehicles on the market today, very few tick all the boxes. The combination of great range, affordable price and space for all the family are often lacking in competing vehicles, but are delivered in spades by the Enyaq iV.

“Many customers who reserved their Enyaq iV online back in November will take delivery in July, with the remaining customers taking delivery in the months up to September.

He added: “We are delighted to have secured a small quantity of additional Enyaq iV 60 versions for delivery in September. They can be secured by contacting your local Škoda dealer.”
