At the 2024 Bharat Mobility Expo, we have another EV making its India debut in the form of the Skoda Enyaq iV.  While we have already spied some units under testing, this is India’s official introduction to the electric SUV. Skoda is planning to launch this electric SUV in India sometime this year, and when launched, it will be Skoda’s first EV in the country. Here are all the details that you need to know about Skoda’s electric offering.

Exterior

Up front, the Enyaq comes with Skoda’s iconic grille design but acting as an illuminated section of the fascia comprising 130 LEDs. The headlights are sleek and with a slim LED DRL on the bottom end. It gets sharp lines on the bonnet and on the bumpers, giving it a sporty look.

Seeing it in profile, you notice the electric crossover’s sloped roofline, likely aiding in its aerodynamic efficiency, and the 21-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels. The rear design is much more sober in comparison but still sporty. It gets an integrated spoiler, sleek tail lights with the 'Skoda' branding in the middle, and a thick black bumper with a silver skid plate.

Cabin

Inside, the global-spec Enyaq iV gets a minimalist but premium cabin with different themes based on the chosen variants. The dashboard consists of multiple layers which bulges out in the middle to make space for the large touchscreen on top of it.
