The first all-electric ŠKODA to wear the brand’s famous vRS badge will arrive in the UK in July, marking the start of an exciting new chapter in the vRS story. Following its world premiere last month, the ENYAQ Coupé iV vRS will be available to order from 17 February with on-the-road prices starting from £51,885.

Design highlights include sports front and rear bumpers and gloss black surrounds for the grille, window trim and rear diffuser. Badges, tailgate lettering and the air curtain trim on the front apron are also finished in black, while the rear bumper adds a full-length red reflector – a design feature shared will all other ŠKODA vRS models. Like all ENYAQ Coupé iV models, the vRS is fitted with a full-length panoramic glass roof as standard.

The ENYAQ Coupé iV vRS comes with black 20-inch Taurus wheels as standard with 21-inch Vision wheels with an anthracite finish available as an option. Both feature aerodynamically optimised plastic Aero trims. Full LED matrix headlights and Crystal Face (illuminated by 131 LEDs) complete the vRS model’s exterior design package.

Inside, the ENYAQ Coupé iV vRS features a model-specific Design Selection exclusively reserved for the sporting flagship of the range. In addition to black perforated leather sports seats (heated) with integrated headrests, grey piping and contrast stitching, the vRS features a leather multifunction sports steering wheel complete with vRS badge. The dashboard is upholstered in a leather-look material to match the seats, and is edged with contrast stitching. The standard equipment includes carbon effect inserts on the dashboard and door trim and aluminium pedals, plus LED ambient lighting and an electrically operated boot with virtual pedal.

In terms of performance, battery and range, the ENYAQ Coupé iV vRS is fitted with an 82kWh (77kWh net) battery pack and has a WLTP driving range of 309 miles. The vRS is equipped with twin motors – one on either axle – that produce a combined power output of 299PS. Maximum torque is rated at 460Nm. The ENYAQ Coupé iV vRS is capable of completing the 0-62mph sprint in just 6.5 seconds and has a top speed of 111mph.

The ENYAQ Coupé iV vRS can be rapid DC charged at speeds of up to 135kW via a CCS connector. This means an 80% charge can be achieved is as little as 36 minutes when connected to a 150kW charger or faster. On a standard 7.2kW home wallbox, a charge from empty to full will take around 13 hours.

To further enhance the ENYAQ’s responsive driving experience, the Coupé iV vRS is equipped as standard with a sports chassis that is 15mm lower at the front and 10mm at the rear. Dynamic steering is also standard on vRS models.

Order books for the ENYAQ Coupé iV vRS will open on 17 February, with the first UK deliveries expected by the end of July. Further derivatives of the ENYAQ Coupé iV will follow after the market introduction of the vRS model.

So, if they are saying it's only a 5 month delivery time for the vRS, it means that everyone else who is waiting for their "normal" Enyaq will be pushed back even further.😡

They are able to make different models at the same time. But they need to make room for the more than one model if they are going to keep the momentum up.

I appreciate that, it’s just blooming frustrating that I ordered mine in January & was told that it should be approx 41 weeks to delivery but to expect that to extend to 52 & then ŠKODA are releasing a new model & saying it should have a 20 week delivery time.

I'd go for the coupe if it was available in lower trims. The standard Enyaq we have is great, but really the coupe just looks a lot better imho. Too bad it is only the highest trim that you can buy (?). Suppose volumes of that won't break the bank? But as the cheaper versions will hit the market it might be an option to change to it?

I agree and I really don't see the point of the Enyaq vRS. Even though these cars seem quick off the mark they are not by any stretch, performance cars due to their excessive weight.
The Enyaq, regardless of shape is much more suited to comfort than performance and would be much better if the highest spec was an L&K model. I would imagine all other models (Loft, Suite etc) will eventually become available on the coupe as well and this will be the more popular choice due to the looks.
Unless Skoda release an Enyaq with 400bhp+ and a very fancy AWD system that copes well with this power, the vRS is no more than a badge. But then again, Ford called its electric a Mustang :o

I'm sure the Skoda press release said that the Enyaq Coupe is available in 60, 80 and 80x in normal, Sportline and vRS versions. vRS is only available in Coupe not SUV though.

Why have they done this - they can't delivery on the orders they already have!

But they're quite happy to take your deposit and hang on to that for several months...

For the same reason Sony, Jaguar, HP, Toshiba and all the other companies struggling to manufacture things due to a shortage of semiconductors caused by COVID affecting workers. If nobody ordered their products they’d go out of business. They can’t tell when supplies will increase - it could be in a few months, it could be in a year. If you don’t release interesting new products, people will go elsewhere.
