The flagship Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV vRS has landed in UK showrooms, having initially gone on sale in 2022. 

The new Enyaq is the first electric Skoda vRS model. The lineage of the vRS badge stretches back more than two decades.

The Enyaq Coupe iV vRS uses twin electric motors, delivering a combined output of 299hp. This makes it the most powerful Skoda vRS model to date. Helped by all-wheel drive, it can accelerate from 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds and reach 111mph. 

Upgraded sports suspension is fitted as standard, lowering the Enyaq Coupe iV vRS by up to 15mm. Dynamic steering is included, too.

A 77kWh battery pack supplies the power, along with an official range of 323 miles. The Enyaq can use 135kW rapid chargers, replenishing its battery to 80 percent in just 36 minutes. 

Using a standard 7.2kWh home wallbox will recharge the battery in around 13 hours.

Bright colours encouraged

Compared to the regular Enyaq SUV, the Coupe version has a curvier roofline and improved aerodynamic efficiency. Performance vRS models benefit from bespoke front and rear bumpers, gloss black exterior trim and black 20-inch alloy wheels. 

On the inside, there are heated sports seats with integrated headrests, which are trimmed in perforated black leather. A leather vRS sports steering wheel, carbon-effect interior trim and a full-length glass sunroof also form part of the standard spec.

Paint choices include bold Phoenix Orange (seen here) and Hyper Green, both of which are exclusive to the Enyaq Coupe iV vRS.
