It is in theory a technical twin of the Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4, achieving a size very close to the largest in the range that is the Skoda Kodiaq, with 5 cm less in length (4.65 m) and 7 in height. (1.62 m) and with a much more aerodynamic profile.

Its habitability is very similar to that of the 5-seater Kodiaq , with a little less width in the rear area as the only detail.

As soon as you open the door of the Skoda Enyaq iV 80, you can breathe an authentically “premium” atmosphere, in any of its finishes, from the ” Loft ” access to the ” Suite” which is more patent and is completed in the ” Lodge ”, already with seats in leather.
