A UK price for the first all-electric Skoda to wear the sporty vRS badge has been announced.
Launched last month, the Enyaq Coupe iV vRS will be one of Skoda’s most expensive cars to date, priced from £51,885.
Orders for the performance-oriented electric SUV coupe will open on 17 February. Skoda plans to deliver completed cars in July 2022.
Green credentials, black details
As the range-topping model in the Enyaq Coupe range, the vRS features sporty styling.
Along with bespoke front and rear bumpers, it gains a gloss black surround for the illuminated front grille. Black detailing is also used for the badges, tailgate lettering and air curtain trim.
At the rear, a full-width red reflector is fitted, a design feature shared with other Skoda vRS models.
The Enyaq Coupe vRS comes with 20-inch wheels as standard, with 21-inch ‘Vision’ items on the options list. Like all Enyaq Coupes, the vRS has a panoramic sunroof as standard.
Rapid all-electric performance
Inside, black heated leather sports seats are the main attraction. Carbon fibre trim is used throughout the cabin, alongside LED ambient lighting and an electrically operated boot.
The all-wheel-drive Enyaq Coupe vRS is powered by an 82kWh battery, offering an official WLTP driving range of 309 miles. A twin-motor setup generates an impressive 295hp, combined with 339lb ft of torque.
This allows the vRS to accelerate from 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds, with a top speed limited to 111mph.
Rapid DC capability means the vRS can reach 80 percent charge in 36 minutes. Using a standard 7.2kW home wallbox sees a full charge take 13 hours.
