It’s no secret that Škoda based many cars off of concept ones. This is no exception.

„What do you mean?“

You know what I mean if you’ve ever looked up “Škoda concept cars” on the internet. A great example of it would be Vision C, which later became the Superb. This is no exception, because once again, what was Škoda’s focus, later became more real than someone imagined.

SUVs?

I’ve always imagined Škoda as a cheaper brand with sedans and hatchbacks in its menu. Never thought that Škoda would start to make SUVs, but I guess the Yeti was a clear sign I never noticed. But becides that, I really like Škoda’s direction and focus they’re going for. Result - Vision iV becoming the Enyaq. Not the first, not the least in Škoda’s SUV lineup.

Comparison

As you can see above, both of the cars look really simmilar. It’s a good thing, because Škoda had a stable platform to build the Enyaq on. It was like a copy-paste of the design, which by the way, I really love. I can’t say the same about the specs, because they shouldn’t be accurate for a concept of a car.

Downsides

Enyaq has delivered slightly less futuristic design than the Vision iV, unlike the other manufacturers’ cars (like Tesla with the Cybertruck) who try everything to make their cars look straight out of year 2050 or so. This Škoda’s design choice isn’t a bad thing, because when I look at some of the cars, I think: „That’s a little bit too much.“ But I like the concept look of this car more than the working model. Still, a pretty cool electric SUV, that I would mind taking a look at when buying a new car. „If it fits the needs, there is nothing to worry about“

Final words

I will rate this car at 3.5 stars. It wasn’t the same as its concept, with some slight downsides, but on the other hand, a nice hop on to the electric SUVs market. Here also comes Škoda’s style to make concept and mass-production variants almost the same, and I’m expecting a car to make more of a jump when being ported to a real and buyable product.
