Škoda Enyaq Coupe iV 60

Overview

The 2023 Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV 60 is the more stylish, swoop-roofed sibling to the regular Enyaq, offering a dash of design flair to the sensible electric SUV package. Aimed at the European market, this particular iV 60 trim represents an entry-to-mid point in the Enyaq Coupe range, balancing range and performance. While not officially sold in the USA, its combination of practicality and coupe aesthetics would pit it against a growing field of electric crossovers. As it's unavailable Stateside, official US pricing isn't available, with the provided data showing no new or used US prices.

What's New for 2023?

For the 2023 model year, the Enyaq Coupe iV 60 largely carried over its existing specifications, as this marked its final year of production for this configuration, having been discontinued in 2023. Any updates would have been minor, potentially including the latest infotainment software revisions or slight tweaks to equipment packages rolled out across the wider Enyaq family. The focus for Skoda was likely on fulfilling existing orders for this stylish EV as it neared the end of its production run, rather than introducing significant new features for this specific trim.

Design & Exterior

The Enyaq Coupe iV 60 really turns heads with its sloping roofline, giving it a sportier, more dynamic stance than its standard SUV counterpart. It's a proper looker! Key dimensions are a length of 183.2 inches, a width (sans mirrors) of 74 inches, and a height of 63.7 inches, making it a substantial but not overly massive machine. Standard LED lighting sharpens its gaze, and while wheel designs vary, the iV 60 typically rolls on attractive alloys that complement its slick, modern European design. The panoramic glass roof is a standout feature.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the Enyaq Coupe iV 60 boasts a modern, spacious cabin with a quality feel, typical of the Volkswagen Group. Passenger comfort is good for five, though that sloping roof might trim a sliver of headroom for very tall rear passengers. You get a decent 20.3 cubic feet of trunk space, expanding to a very useful 60 cubic feet with the rear seats folded flat. No frunk here, though. A large central touchscreen (often 13 inches) handles infotainment, usually with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, paired with a neat digital driver's display.

Performance & Driving Experience

The iV 60 offers a respectable, if not lightning-quick, 0-60 mph dash in 8.5 seconds. Power comes from a single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM) at the rear, making it rear-wheel drive. This motor churns out 132 kW (around 177 hp) and 229 lb-ft of torque, providing smooth and adequate shove for daily driving. The ride is generally comfortable and composed, soaking up bumps well, with predictable handling. Expect multiple regenerative braking modes, including a more aggressive 'B' mode for increased energy recovery, making for a polished EV driving experience.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Enyaq Coupe iV 60 is equipped with a 58 kWh usable battery pack. Green Cars Compare calculates its real-world range at a practical 217 miles, with an efficiency of 3.74 mi/kWh – pretty decent for its class! For charging, it supports up to 11 kW AC, meaning a full top-up at home would take around 5.5 to 6 hours. On the DC fast charging front, it can gulp electrons at up to 124 kW, allowing for a 10-80% charge in roughly 30 minutes. This European model uses a CCS Type 2 port; a US version would feature a CCS Type 1.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

While the Enyaq Coupe iV 60 hasn't been tested by the NHTSA due to not being sold in the US, its sibling, the standard Enyaq, scored a full five stars in Euro NCAP tests, indicating a strong safety structure. Standard kit typically includes Front Assist with city emergency braking, lane-keeping assist, and cruise control. Higher-spec options often bring adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, and more advanced semi-autonomous driving aids, though the iV 60 as a base model would have a more fundamental, yet comprehensive, set of features.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

As the Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV 60 isn't sold in the US, there's no official American warranty. In Europe, Skoda typically offers a 2 or 3-year general vehicle warranty and an 8-year/100,000-mile warranty for the battery, covering degradation. If it were available Stateside, expect it to align with US market standards, likely a 3-4 year basic warranty and a similar 8-year battery guarantee. Like all EVs, maintenance is generally lower than gasoline cars, with fewer moving parts meaning less to go wrong and no oil changes to worry about.
