Over two months after electric SUV's sibling.

The Enyag iV will come in five variants: 50, 60, 80, 80X and a performance-oriented vRS variant. Each variant features different powertrain configurations with different states of tune, battery capacities and drivetrains. Here's a detailed look at them:

Skoda Enyaq	50	60	80	80X	vRS
Power	148PS	179PS	204PS	265PS	305PS
Drivetrain	Rear-wheel drive	Rear-wheel drive	Rear-wheel drive	All-wheel drive	All-wheel drive
Battery size	52kWh	58kWh	77kWh	77kWh	77kWh
Range (WLTP claimed)	340km	390km	500km	460km	460km

The range-topping vRS is naturally the fastest with a 0-100kmph sprint time of 6.2 seconds and a max speed of 180kmph. But this performance comes at the cost of efficiency as the 80 variant offers 40km more range in a single charge, at 500km.

Speaking of charge, the Enyaq's battery pack also supports fast-charging up to 125kW, juicing up the crossover from 0-80 percent in just 40 minutes. All variants have an electric motor at the rear axle with all-wheel-drive variants benefitting from another electric motor at the front axle.

While the prototype teased is shod in heavy camouflage, we can tell that the Enyag iV's overall silhouette looks more like a crossover than an SUV. It also sports some traditional Skoda bits such as the butterfly grille, sleek headlamps and C-shaped tail lamps. Interior details are yet to be revealed, but Skoda has mentioned that the Enyaq iV will feature a 13-inch central touchscreen with connected car technology, a heads-up display, and 585-litres of boot space.

Expect the Skoda Enyaq iV to launch in the international market by the end of this year. There's no word on whether the electric crossover will make it to Indian shores, but it is likely to happen in the near future.
