Skoda Enyaq iV vRS (2023) | Knowledgeable Ranking

Model reviewed: Coupé vRS
Score: 7 / 10
“It doesn’t feel fast, engaging or exciting enough to wear the vRS badge, and even with its extra standard equipment, it’s not worth the premium over lesser-powered derivatives of Skoda’s first bespoke EV.”

“The 80 is a better Enyaq, but if more performance and four-wheel drive are essential, the vRS delivers. In a way, it’s disappointing that the vRS feels more like a trim level than a dedicated performance version, but you can’t blame it for doing what it says on the tin.”

“It’s easy to feel a little down on the Skoda Enyaq Coupé iV vRS because it delivers neither the performance nor the handling engagement you might expect from a car from a sporty sub-brand. If a slightly faster Enyaq is what you’re after, though, it delivers.”

“In a strange way, the Skoda Enyaq vRS would have been better if it was worse. If Skoda’s engineers had placed less importance on the car’s maximum range and piled a whole lot more power into its electric powertrain, it would be infinitely more recommendable.”

“The vRS adds straight-line performance, but in truth it still doesn’t feel electrifyingly quick in the way a good EV should. We’re okay with it not being that exciting as vRS models have traditionally been about quantity not tactile quality, but it’s hard not to come to conclusion that our test car’s lairy green paint writes cheques it can’t quite cash.”

“The lack of noise in the Coupe vRS’s cabin does nothing to rectify the lack of driving thrill. We know such systems may not be for everyone, but we believe the electric vRS could benefit from some sounds being pumped into the cabin to add to the driving experience, like you’ll find in BMW’s latest EVs.”

“I’ve always had a soft spot for fast Skodas and I’m a huge fan of the Enyaq, so this is the perfect combination. I’ll admit, the price comes as a shock at first, but when you compare it to the mechanically-identical Volkswagen ID.5 GTX, the Skoda Enyaq Coupé vRS starts to look pretty good value.” (Ginny Buckley)

“Skoda’s first electric vRS model arrives with nearly 300bhp and a sharp coupe body, but it lacks that vRS character we’ve come to admire.”

“We really liked the standard Enyaq iV hatch when we tried it; all the car was lacking was a bit of visual pizzazz – a bit of ‘want one’ factor, which this Enyaq iV Coupe delivers with aplomb, especially in vRS form.”

“In short, the vRS isn’t much faster or much more enjoyable to drive than other, less expensive Enyaqs.”

“While it has the vRS badge, this Enyaq isn’t much quicker or sportier than most other electric SUVs out there, and in some cases slower. Think of it more as a sharpened up family hauler, though, and it is a pleasing thing to own and drive.”

“Perfectly brisk in a straight line, but arrive at a corner and it’s barely distinguishable from the standard car. Nor is there much in the way of steering feel, so instead of picking a line through a corner you just sort of bounce from one side of your lane to the other. Meh.”
