Škoda Enyaq Coupe iV 80

Overview

The 2023 Skoda Enyaq Coupe iV 80 is a seriously stylish electric SUV with a slinky coupe roofline, unfortunately never officially gracing US shores. This iV 80 trim focuses on a strong balance of range and rear-wheel-drive engagement. Key highlights include its chic design, a generous real-world range, and that smooth EV punch. As an EU-only model, official US pricing isn't available in our records for new or used examples, but it was positioned as a premium offering in its home markets before being discontinued after the 2023 model year.

What's New for 2023?

For its final 2023 model year run before discontinuation, the Enyaq Coupe iV 80 likely benefited from Skoda's ongoing software enhancements rolled out across the Enyaq family. This typically included improvements to battery management, potentially faster DC charging curve optimization, and updates to the infotainment system for a smoother experience. While specific US-market updates are moot given its EU-only status, these refinements ensured the iV 80 remained a competitive and polished electric package in its segment until production ceased.

Design & Exterior

This thing’s a looker! The Enyaq Coupe iV 80 takes the regular Enyaq’s handsome face and adds a dramatically sloping roofline for that sporty, coupe-SUV vibe. Skoda’s distinctive grille, sometimes offered with a "Crystal Face" illuminated option, makes a statement. Riding on smart alloy wheels, its dimensions are substantial yet sleek: 183.2 inches long, 74 inches wide (sans mirrors), and 63.7 inches tall. The rear-end design is particularly unique to the Coupe, setting it apart with a more dynamic stance than its more upright sibling.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the iV 80 and you're greeted by a modern, well-crafted cabin typical of the VW Group – think quality materials and a minimalist, airy feel. It’s a comfortable five-seater, offering good passenger space despite that rakish roof. Luggage-wise, you get a decent 20.3 cubic feet in the trunk, expanding to a very useful 60 cubic feet with the rear seats folded. No frunk on this one, though. Tech is sorted with a large central touchscreen (usually 13 inches) and a digital driver display, with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto typically standard.

Performance & Driving Experience

The iV 80 isn't a fire-breathing monster, but it's got pep! With its single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor sending 150 kW (around 201 hp) and 229 lb-ft of torque to the rear wheels, 0-60 mph arrives in a respectable 8.4 seconds, topping out at 99 mph. This RWD setup gives it a nicely balanced and engaging driving character. Expect a comfy, quiet ride perfect for daily duties and long hauls, with smooth, predictable braking and easily adjustable regenerative braking modes to claw back some precious miles.

Range, Battery & Charging

Packing a 77 kWh usable battery, the Enyaq Coupe iV 80 boasts a Green Cars Compare estimated real-world range of 297 miles – pretty solid for getting you places. Efficiency is rated at 3.86 mi/kWh. At home, the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger can top it up fully in around 7 hours. On the road, it gulps down DC juice at up to 143 kW, meaning significant range can be added quickly. In Europe, it uses a CCS Type 2 port; a US version would likely sport CCS Type 1.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is a strong suit, with the Enyaq Coupe achieving a top 5-star rating from Euro NCAP. Official NHTSA ratings aren't available as it wasn't sold or tested in the US. You can expect a comprehensive suite of driver-assistance systems. Features often found on this trim level include adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, blind-spot monitoring, and front assist with emergency braking, many of which would likely be standard, reflecting its premium positioning within the Enyaq lineup.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

As the Enyaq Coupe iV 80 wasn't sold in the US, specific American warranty details don't apply. However, in its European markets, Skoda typically offers a competitive EV warranty, often including around 2 years for the vehicle and a robust 8 years or 100,000 miles for the battery pack, usually guaranteeing at least 70% capacity. Powertrain coverage generally aligns with the battery. Skoda's reliability is generally good within the VW Group, though US-specific maintenance perks wouldn't have been established.
