Skoda comes with a smaller fully electric model under the Enyaq. In a sense, that can mean two things; it will be much smaller and much cheaper, or it will become a Volkswagen ID3 counterpart. The second seems to happen first.
This week, Seat announced that it is working on a compact and ‘affordable’ electric car that will be on the market in 2025. A car that is based on MEB and enters the range below the Cupra Born. Seat also reported that this model forms the basis for sister models within the Volkswagen Group, so you can probably expect it from Volkswagen as ID1 or ID2 and you can also count on a Skoda version. The latter is just a bit complicated. Skoda CEO Thomas Schäfer says according to Automotive News that there is indeed a compact electric car on offer under the Enyaq, but the car he is talking about would not be related to the Seat.
This may mean that a Skoda is on the way that you can consider as a sister model of the Volkswagen ID3. Schäfer did not want to go into this too deeply, according to the medium, and also not yet make any statements about how long the arrival of that car will still be delayed, but says that the model ‘has priority’. So that doesn’t seem like a matter of years anymore. Incidentally, this certainly does not exclude the possibility that in the long run another model will come under, which then does originate from the aforementioned Seat. We do not expect that car until 2025 at the earliest.
