The all-new Skoda Enyaq iV 80 (with a 82 kWh battery), the cousin of the Volkswagen ID.4, was just lately vary examined by Bjørn Nyland.

Because it seems, the Skoda Enyaq iV with 21″ wheels not solely seems superb, it is usually fairly environment friendly – particularly at freeway speeds.

Based on Bjørn Nyland, the vary at 90 km/h (56 mph) is 452 km (281 miles). That is almost 16% under the WLTP ranking of 536 km (333 miles) for probably the most environment friendly model with 19″ wheels (in keeping with the producer, the swap from 19″ to 21″ will increase power consumption by 3%). At 120 km/h (75 mph) the vary is 316 km (196 miles).

Outcomes at 90 km/h (56 mph):
