New Skoda Electric SUV to be Called Skoda Enyaq

Electric cars are on the rise, and more and more car companies are launching solutions that customers want to see. They benefit the environment and are more cost-effective to run and maintain than the other options out there.

It’s an exciting time in the world of cars and vehicles for consumers all around the world. Skoda recently announced that their new electric vehicle would be called the Skoda Enyaq. You’re probably wondering where the name came from, what makes this vehicle unique, and how you can get your hands on one. Continue reading to get answers to all your questions and so you can determine if this is the right car for you.

The Meaning behind the Name

Newly-made hybrid vehicles and hybrid cars need a way to stand apart from the competition. One way car manufacturers can accomplish this goal is to put some meaning behind the name of their plug-in hybrids. Skoda wanted to make a vehicle that was not only stylish and unique but also to have a significant name. Therefore, they came up with the Enyaq, in which the ‘E’ is in reference to electro-mobility and the ‘Q’ characterising the final letter of Skoda’s successful SUV family. Derived from the Irish name ‘Enya,’ meaning ‘source of life,’ this is one name that is sure to stand out because of its deep-rooted meaning. It’s the start of a new era for both car manufacturers and consumers as the PHEV becomes more prominent and sought after.

Features to Note

People have spotted the Skoda Enyaq out test-driving, and you’ll be glad to hear it has the same underpinnings as the VW ID.3 and ID.4. It’s likely to be able to go more than 300 miles, which is a feature to note and admire. It’s the firm’s second electric model, and you’ll find it to be a comfortable mid-size SUV. From the exterior, the SUV will feature a swooping roofline with a small rear window in the rearmost C-pillar. The overall style and design include the front end sporting a large blanked-off grille, narrow swept-back headlights, and an angular looking front bumper. On the interior, you’ll find technology features such as a large central infotainment touch screen and a small digital instrument cluster.

Car Buying Tips

You can expect this new plug-in hybrid to go on sale at the beginning of 2021, so be on the lookout for it as you’re scoping out new cars. Perform research in advance, so you know what to expect and to be aware of when you’re viewing hybrid vehicles in person. It’s in your best interest to visit a car dealership or lot and take one of these electric vehicles out for a test drive. Get to know what makes it unique and how to best care for and maintain it. Check on and understand the battery life and have a budget in mind so that you aren’t tempted to overspend and can walk away with a vehicle you can afford. Consider the costs unique to owning an electric car and look over the warranty before making a purchase.
