Like its coupe sibling, the all-new Skoda Enyaq iV vRS sports a dual-motor setup with one motor on each axle which also gives the go-faster SUV all-wheel drive as standard.

The dual-motor system on the Enyaq iV vRS produces 295bhp and 460Nm of peak torque which pushes the electric SUV from 0-100km/h in just 6.5 seconds and onward to a top speed of 180km/h.

Skoda's new Enyaq iV vRS also features a new Plug & Charge function which allows owners to go to any charging station features on the Powerpass app and start charging by simply connecting the power cable to the charging socket. The feature helps the app identify the car and bill the charging session automatically.
