Posted on

Within the range of the manufacturer Skoda it is possible to find a good number of family cut cars with a good trunkHowever, the model that we are going to discuss today is possibly the most complete in this portfolio. With up to 300 CV, but without penalizing your comfort or interior spacethe Skoda Enyaq is one of the most interesting models of the Czech manufacturer, a car to consider if we are looking for a multi-purpose car with a ZERO emissions label.

These days we have been able to get behind the wheel of the Skoda Enyaq in its RS version, which translates into the most powerful and sportiest version. The Skoda crossover has shown us that we are still one of the most interesting options in the range of electric cars from the Volkswagen groupsince its quality/price ratio is clearly the most successful of all the cars manufactured from the MEB platform, also offering an attractive exterior and interior design that even has a coupe alternative for those looking for a plus of character.

Its vision as a crossover cannot hide the fact that the Enyaq is a minivan-type car, which means that we are faced with a very spacious interior where 5 people can travel very comfortablyenjoying spacious rear seats, also adding a trunk whose cargo volume ranges between 585 and 1,710 liters. In addition, taking advantage of the second row of seats and the trunk is very simple, because while in the rear seats we find all kinds of amenities to make trips more bearable (independent air conditioning, USB-C sockets, Schuko plug or roll-up sunshades), In the trunk we have an electric opening of the gate, a completely flat floor, multiple fastenings, folding controls for the rear seatbacks, a button for folding/unfolding the tow ball or a 12-volt socket.

On a technical level, this Skoda Enyaq RS iV makes use of a configuration of double electric motor, one propeller on each axis, capable of developing up to 300 HP and 480 Nm. The battery that powers them is lithium-ion, has a net capacity of 77 kWh and can be recharged at powers of 11 kW in alternating current or up to 135 kW in direct current. According to WLTP approval the electric autonomy is up to 517 km.

The equipment available in the entire Enyaq range is very extensivebeing possible to enjoy a digital instrument panel, Head-Up Display with augmented reality, multimedia system with 13″ touch screencompatibility with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto (wireless), triple climate controlrear view camera, adaptive cruise control with lane assistblind spot detector, front and rear parking sensorspanoramic and practicable roof, electric, heated front seats with massage function, 19 to 21-inch wheels and Full-LED headlights.

After driving this version during the international presentation held in Malaga, we can talk about an electric car that offers a excellent duality between comfort and agility, giving away good performance (0-100 km/h in 6.5 s), but perhaps not the sporty point that could be expected from an RS. In this version it is perceived that the set-up of the Enyaq is specific to gain poise and driving tactsomething that is appreciated when the road twists, but we miss a plus of claw. That said, this balance between usability and sportiness make it a much more practical car, since allows it to be used in all types of scenarios without compromising comfort, interior space or autonomy.
