Škoda has opened orders for the new SportLine variant of its Enyaq iV electric SUV.

Priced from £39,900 (incl. the Plug-in Grant), the SportLine joins the 60 Nav and 80 models in the brand’s launch line-up.

As with the Enyaq iV 80 (priced from £35,950 incl. the grant), it combines a 204hp motor on the rear axle with an 82kWh battery but it also gets a sports chassis set-up as standard, including lower ride height. The Enyaq iV SportLine also comes with Drive Mode Select and progressive steering as standard while Dynamic Chassis Control is available as an option.

Top speed is electronically limited to 99mph while the Enyaq iV SportLine can accelerate from 0-62mph in 8.5 seconds. It can cover up to 327 miles on the WLTP combined cycle; down slightly from the 333 for the Enyaq iV 80.

Bespoke design features include a black finish for details such as the grille, window frames, roof rails and rear bumper diffuser. Side skirts are now body-coloured and the SportLine gets full LED Matrix headlights as standard.

The interior adds in a black trim as well as unique black sports seats in alcantara/leather, aluminium pedals and a three-spoke multifunction leather sports steering wheel.

The Enyaq iV Sportline is available to order now, with deliveries expected in the summer.
