The Skoda Enyaq iV 80 was the first version of Skoda’s all-new electric model. The Enyaq iV quickly caught on and even supplanted the Volkswagen ID.3 and ID.4 in the sales statistics. The number of variants has now been expanded, and smaller battery packs are available. In this episode of ‘coming so far’ we hit 80, because we have the best idea of the practical range. This variant was tested in different periods.
An EV performs best when temperatures are around 20 degrees Celsius. Consumption will then be the lowest and the range thus the greatest. We also saw that in the first comparative test with the Skoda Enyaq iV 80. In April, it recorded a neat 18.5 kWh per 100 kilometers. A decent value for an electric car of this size. In the week that we drove the Enyaq iV 80 for the test, in which a Mercedes EQB also participated, it was 20 degrees. With a range in practice of 416 kilometers, the car was still well below the promised 537 kilometers, but in the test the Skoda also drove a lot of highway kilometers.
How was that in November? The temperature of 11 degrees certainly had an effect on the performance of the 80 kWh battery pack and consumption increased to 20.0 kWh per 100 kilometers. Then the range is still 314 kilometers.
The same Skoda Enyaq iV 80 that took part in the November test against the Kia EV6 and Polestar 2 Dual Motor, we also drove in the coldest period of the winter 2021/2021, which was the lowest result to date. Fully loaded, the on-board computer indicates a range between 330 and 340 km, it should be noted that the car is on 20-inch wheels with Michelin Alpin winter tires. The car usually drives 70 km on the highway, but always starts with a cold battery. The Enyaq also does not have the option to preheat it when you are at the charging station. You can of course keep the interior pleasantly warm.
In the user reviews on this site we see more reviews about the Enyaq iV 60 with the smaller battery pack. We do not include this in this ‘coming so far’, but we read in this reviewer about the first period until May 2021: “Up to now I have an average consumption of 19 kWh per 100 kilometers on almost 2000 km. There is certainly some play and fast acceleration, so this will decrease in the future. I usually charge the Enyaq to 90 percent, and then the range is just under 400 kilometers.” He wrote his last update on January 22, 2022, and thus he has a good picture of the consumption over the first 20,000 kilometers, with an average of 17.5 kWh/100 km in the summer and an average of 22 kWh/100 km in the winter.
Another ’80s driver’ notes 24 to 25 kWh per 100 kilometers on a cold winter morning and then 300 kilometers on a full battery charge is the maximum.
As mentioned, most Skoda Enyaq iV reviewers drive a 60, and there are a lot of user reviews, if you also drive an 80, then write a review.
