Skoda fires up hot edition of Enyaq

REVEALED New flagship vRS model shares much with smaller Elroq sibling, including its powertrain

- Richard Ingram

HOT on the heels of its smaller sibling, the Elroq vRS, the Skoda Enyaq vRS has been revealed with the same pure-electric powertrain and 84kWh battery, but a slightly larger boot. Prices have been announced and first deliveries are expected later this summer, although orders don’t open until 12 June.

As with lesser versions of the Enyaq, the vRS shares everything with the Elroq, from its platform and battery to its styling and cabin layout. Skoda has even revealed the Enyaq vRS in the same ‘Hyper Green’ paint, and from the front, the two cars are almost indistinguishable.

The Enyaq’s ‘Tech-Deck’ face - a dark, blanked-off grille hiding myriad sensors and radars — is identical to the Elroq’s, while both cars have the same lighting signature, with the main and dipped beams hidden in separate light clusters within the bumper.
