New versions of the Skoda Enyaq iV electric SUV will receive a raft of upgrades, including new infotainment functions and revamped software designed to maximise the range of the battery.
The updates will be part of the 2023 model year package for the Czech machine, which is now available to order. They are enabled by the use of the latest v3.2 version of the MEB platform software used on the machine.
Notably, the machine will now be offered with two sizes of battery again, with the smaller Enyaq iV 60 – which has a range of 246 miles – back on sale. That will be offered alongside the Enyaq iV 80, which has an official range of up to 339 miles

Skoda claims that the upgrades for the new model year include improvements to the high-voltage battery management system of the Enyaq iV, which it says reudces the electrical losses from the battery helping to maximise range. That said, the official range of the cars has not changed.
The new operating system, which is shared with other VW Group models such as the Volkswagen ID 4, also includes the ability to accept over-the-air software updates in future. There have also been changes to the sat nav and the head-up display system, along with “visual improvements” to the heating and ventilation infotainment screens.

Prices for the Enyaq 60 iV now start from £38,480.
