2022 Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV teased again ahead of launch

UPDATE, January 12, 2021: We're now less than a month away from Skoda officially revealing the new Enyaq Coupe iV, but that hasn't stopped the Czech manufacturer from giving out more teasers of the electric SUV.

Sketches of the "sportback" coupe show a similar roofline to that of the Volkswagen ID.5 – as expected, given the two cars are based on the same platform.

While we've previously seen camouflaged shots of the Enyaq (below), the design sketches highlight its striking, angular front end as well as the sharp side profile – although it's unlikely to ride on wheels as big as those pictured.

December 16, 2021: Skoda has announced it will reveal the new Enyaq Coupe iV on January 31, 2022.

Officially breaking cover for the first time, we've already seen what the sportback SUV looks like in camouflage (further below), but not as a production-ready vehicle – although its design will likely blend the Enyaq with Volkswagen's recently-launched ID.5.

The Czech manufacturer has boasted its new electric model has a class-leading drag coefficient of 0.234cd, allowing the Enyaq to potentially extend its driving range beyond that of its ID.4 cousin.

September 7, 2021: The 2022 Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV has been teased in camouflage ahead of its unveiling.

As a derivative of the Enyaq iV SUV – the first all-electric vehicle from Skoda – the new Coupe will offer greater levels of aerodynamics thanks to its sleek body.

Skoda claims the Enyaq Coupe gains around 24 kilometres more driving range over the standard Enyaq (WLTP test cycle) when optioned with the larger battery, up to 534km in total.

Buyers can choose either a 62kWh battery variant, powering the rear wheels with a 132kW electric motor, or an 82kWh version with dual electric motors offering all-wheel drive and peak power of 195kW. A 150kW rear-wheel-drive version with the larger battery is also available, and provides the best driving range.

Like the regular Enyaq, optional fast-charging capability is expected to allow the Coupe to reach 80 per cent of charge from 10 per cent in 38 minutes at at rate of 125kW.

Both models are underpinned by the MEB electric vehicle architecture – the basis for many Volkswagen Group battery-electric vehicles from the Cupra Born to the Audi Q4 E-Tron.

Inside, the Enyaq Coupe will largely carry over the interior from its larger sibling, offering a 13.0-inch infotainment screen as standard. The driver gets a 5.3-inch digital instrument cluster – and a head-up display with augmented reality will also be available as an option.

Despite being wrapped in camouflage, the exterior styling of the Enyaq Coupe is also expected to be familiar – sloping roofline aside.

While a spokesperson for Skoda Australia wouldn’t say whether the Coupe was under consideration for a local release, the Czech carmaker is hoping to bring the regular Enyaq iV electric vehicle (EV) to Australia in the future.

“As the [Munich motor show] is [demonstrating], demand for EVs is surging in Europe where those factories are located,” the spokesperson told Wheels.

“The business case for a right-hand-drive market at the end of the global supply chain is a tougher sell.”

The 2022 Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV is expected to go on sale in Europe in early 2022. Stay tuned to Wheels on Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter for any local announcements.
