Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV priced from £54,370
The first all-electric Skoda to wear the brand’s famous vRS badge will arrive in showrooms on 19 January 2023, continuing the UK’s love affair with the vRS badge. The highly anticipated performance Coupe variant of the brand’s award winning Enyaq iV went on sale in 2022.
Design highlights include unique sports front and rear bumpers and gloss black surrounds for the grille, window trim and rear diffuser. Badges, tailgate lettering and the air curtain trim on the front apron are also finished in black, while the rear bumper adds a full-length red reflector – a design feature shared will all other Skoda vRS models. Like all Enyaq Coupé iV models, the vRS is fitted with a full-length glass roof.
The Enyaq Coupé iV vRS comes with black 20-inch Taurus wheels as standard with 21-inch Vision wheels with an anthracite finish available as an option. Both feature aerodynamically optimised plastic Aero trims. Full LED matrix headlights and Crystal Face complete the vRS model’s exterior design.
Inside, the Enyaq Coupé iV vRS features a model-specific Design Selection exclusively reserved for the sporting flagship of the range. In addition to black perforated leather sports seats (heated) with integrated headrests, grey piping and contrast stitching, the vRS features a leather multifunction sports steering wheel complete with vRS badge. Customers can also spec the vRS Lounge interior as standard, which offers microsuede and leather upholstery with lime green stitching and piping. The standard equipment includes carbon effect inserts on the dashboard and door trim and aluminium pedals, plus LED ambient lighting and an electrically operated boot with virtual pedal.
In terms of performance, battery and range, the Enyaq Coupé iV vRS is fitted with an 82kWh (77kWh net) battery pack and has a WLTP driving range of 323 miles. The vRS is equipped with twin motors – one on either axle – that produce a combined power output of 299PS. Maximum torque is rated at 460Nm. The Enyaq COUPÈ iV vRS is capable of completing the 0-62mph sprint in just 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 111mph.
The Enyaq Coupé iV vRS can be rapid DC charged at speeds of up to 135kW via a CCS connector. This means an 80% charge can be achieved is as little as 36 minutes when connected to a 150kW charger or faster. On a standard 7.2kW home wallbox, a charge from empty to full will take around 13 hours.

Skoda Enyaq iV vRS priced from £52,670
Skoda has confirmed final UK specifications and pricing for the SUV version of its Enyaq iV vRS – the second all-electric model to wear the brand’s iconic vRS badge. Available to order from 17 January 2023, the Enyaq iV vRS follows in the wheel tracks of the Enyaq Coupe iV vRS launched earlier this year, and offers increased practicality alongside sporty performance and striking design.
Priced from £52,670 OTR, the new Enyaq iV vRS is fitted with an 82kWh (77kWh net) battery pack and has a WLTP driving range of 321 miles. Like the Coupe version, the SUV variant has a power output of 299PS and is equipped with twin motors – one on each axle. Combined, the motors deliver 460Nm of torque to give instant acceleration and a powerful mid-range response.
As befits the sporting flagship of the Enyaq iV range, the new vRS features a bespoke chassis set up designed to deliver an even more responsive driving experience. The standard sports suspension lowers the body by 15 millimetres at the front axle and 10 millimetres at the rear axle. This, combined with progressive steering as standard, gives the Enyaq iV vRS the kind of dynamic handling that vRS drivers have come to expect from Skoda.
Drive Mode Select offers the predefined profiles Eco, Normal and Sport, while a custom slider allows the driver to adjust the settings to their own preferences. Comfort driving mode is only available when optional Dynamic Chassis Control is specified. The Enyaq iV vRS also offers the additional driving profile Traction. Designed for driving on unpaved roads or slippery surfaces, Traction Mode offers constant all-wheel drive at speeds of up to 12 mph.
For owners looking for an even sportier drive, Dynamic Chassis Control (DCC) can be specified as an option. DCC constantly monitors the situation on the road and automatically adjusts the damping.
In terms of performance, the Enyaq iV vRS has a top speed of 111mph and a 0-62mph time of just 6.5 seconds – identical figures to that of the Coupe variant. The Enyaq iV vRS can be rapid DC charged at speeds of up to 135kW via a CCS connector, and can achieve an 80% charge in as little as 36 minutes when connected to a 150kW charger or faster. On a standard 7.2kW home wallbox, a charge from empty to full will take around 13 hours.
Like all Skoda vRS models, the Enyaq iV vRS combines strong performance with sporty looks.
20-inch Taurus alloy wheels with aerodynamically optimised aero trims are fitted as standard with larger 21-inch Vision wheels with an anthracite finish as an option.
Unique vRS sports bumpers front and rear give the car a more muscular, purposeful look while the front end is further distinguished by Skoda’s innovative Crystal Face grille (illuminated by 131 LEDs), framed with gloss black surrounds. The Enyaq iV vRS’s window trims and tailgate lettering are also finished in gloss black to further enhance the sporty feel.
The front bumper features high-gloss black accents on the air curtain surrounds, which are E-shaped on the vRS model. The side skirts are finished in body colour while the red reflector strip in the rear bumper runs the full width of the vehicle – a distinguishing feature of all Skoda vRS models.
Inside, the Enyaq iV vRS features a special vRS Design Selection that comes with sports seats with black perforated leather seat upholstery with grey piping and contrast stitching. The multifunction sports leather steering wheel also features contrast stitching while the dashboard sports a leather-look finish with contrast stitching.
The sporting flagship also comes as standard with a three-zone climate control system, LED ambient lighting that also illuminates the dashboard and door panels, as well as wireless smartphone charging. The Enyaq iV VRS’s 585-litre boot is 15 litres larger than that of the Enyaq iV Coupe vRS and can be extended to 1,710 litres by folding the rear seats down. To ensure easy access to the load area, the vRS is fitted with virtual pedal as standard.
First UK deliveries of the new Enyaq iV vRS are expected from June 2023.

Skoda Enyaq vRS updated for 2024 model year
Skoda has made its Enyaq vRS faster and even better equipped as part of a significant update for the 2024 model year. Both the vRS SUV and Coupe have been overhauled to make them even more complete packages.
The 2024 Enyaq vRS will become the fastest accelerating Skoda ever thanks to a 41PS power boost. The increase means that the Enyaq vRS can accelerate from 0-62mph in just 5.5 seconds, a full second quicker than the previous model.
Combined output from the car’s dual motors has risen from 299PS to 340PS – the highest output figure ever for a production Skoda model.
Despite the significant increase in power and performance, the improvements do not come at the expense of range. The new model has a provisional range of 340 miles – a 16 mile increase for the coupé (336 miles for the SUV - a 15 mile increase). The battery capacity remains unchanged at 77kWh usable.
Drivers will also be able to charge the Enyaq vRS faster thanks to an increase in DC rapid charging speeds from 135kW up to 175kW. A 10-80% charge on a 175kW or faster DC rapid charger will take approximately 28 minutes – an improvement of 8 minutes.
Skoda is also boosting equipment levels for Enyaq vRS buyers, including travel assist and speed assist, walk away locking, rear side airbags, rear window blinds, rear USB-C charging ports and tow bar prep.
Other technical improvements include further refinements to the infotainment and display system.
