One of the prominent carmakers, Skoda has launched a new range-topping L&K variant of the all-electric Envaq. The carmaker has tweaked several aspects of this latest model such as design, features and mechanicals. Moreover, Skoda has increased the power output as well as the driving range for enhanced convenience.
Exterior tweaks in Skoda Envaq
In terms of the exterior, Skoda has made several changes to the overall profile of the Envaq. For starters, the carmaker has added a new platinum grey accent on specific bumpers, diffusers and external ORVMs. And the grille of the car features the new crystal face illuminated by a standard LED setup. On the side, the side skirts of the car are body coloured with chrome work in window frames and roof rails.
However, the Skoda Envaq sits on the specific 20-inch alloys as the standard fitment. Customers can even opt for the bigger 21-inch alloys. The front wings of the car feature the L&K badge and Envaq badge on the tailgate.
Addition of new features
The L&K variant of the Skoda Envaq is equipped with the updated ME4 vehicle software. This results in the addition of the new pre-heating feature along with numerous improvements. The pre-heating feature cools down the temperature of the battery before the battery starts charging. This feature can be enabled either manually or automatically for the best battery health and reliability.
For enhanced comfort and design, Skoda offers the option of a new interior theme. The beige upholstery is standard in the L&K variant while the customers can opt for the black upholstery too. Meanwhile, the Envaq L&K gets new ventilated seats with a massage feature for the convenience of users. The carmaker also offers the new User Interface in the instrument cluster, heads-up display, and infotainment system of Envaq.
Mechanical Upgrades in Skoda Envaq
Skoda has unveiled the Envaq with a new battery pack and an extended driving range. The carmaker has increased the power output to 210kW and the driving range of up to 570 km. While the RWD Envaq does a 0-100km/h sprint in 6.7 seconds, the AWD variant hits the ton in just 6.6 seconds. However, the top speed of the new Skoda Envaq stands at 180km/h and 0-100 timing is faster than its previous version by 2 seconds.
Official Statement
Johannes Neft, Škoda Auto Board Member for Technical Development, says: “In the new Enyaq L&K, we are introducing several technical upgrades that will subsequently be used in the other models of this series, as well. The new, more powerful drivetrain generation will deliver a higher system output of 210 kW*. At the same time, we have been able to extend the maximum range to 570 km** on the WLTP cycle and keep the 10 to 80 per cent charging time under 30 minutes. Based on customer feedback, we added battery preheating management, which also uses navigation data. This function optimises the charging performance even in cold weather. Moreover, our new User Interface takes usability to a completely new level, making the operation of the vehicle even more intuitive.”
