The Škoda Enyaq (originally introduced as Škoda Enyaq iV) is a battery electric compact crossover SUV manufactured by Škoda Auto. It was introduced in September 2020 in Prague,{{cite web |title=ŠKODA ENYAQ iV's world premiere on 1 September |url=https://www.skoda-storyboard.com/en/200722-skoda-enyaq-silhouette_/ |website=Škoda Storyboard |accessdate=5 August 2020}} while mass production commenced in November 2020. It utilizes the Volkswagen Group MEB platform, with the Volkswagen ID.4 being a sister model.
Name
The name is derived from the Irish name Enya, which originates from the Gaelic word ‘eithne’, meaning ‘essence, spirit or principle’. The Enyaq is the first model of a new naming convention within the Škoda's range where electric models' names will start with ‘E’.{{cite news|last1=Walker|first1=Steve|date=12 February 2020|title=Skoda Enyaq: new electric SUV gets a name|language=en|work=Auto Express|url=https://www.autoexpress.co.uk/skoda/109116/skoda-enyaq-new-electric-suv-gets-a-name|accessdate=13 February 2020}}{{cite news|last1=Binnie|first1=Adam|title=New Skoda electric SUV is called Enyaq|language=en|work=CAR Magazine|issue=12 February 2020|url=https://www.carmagazine.co.uk/car-news/first-official-pictures/skoda/enyaq/|accessdate=13 February 2020}}

Safety

{{blockquote|The ENYAQ iV has a speed assistance system as standard. This uses a camera and digital mapping to determine the local speed limit and the driver can choose to allow the system to adjust the speed automatically. A seatbelt reminder is standard for all seating positions. A fatigue-detection system monitors driver alertness but this is available as an option only and was not included in the assessment. Lane assistance warns the driver if the car is drifting out of lane and gently corrects the vehicle path. The system also intervenes more aggressively in some more critical situations. The AEB system performed well in tests of its response to other vehicles, with collisions avoided or mitigated in almost all scenarios.|EuroNCAP{{Cite web|url=https://cdn.euroncap.com/media/62593/euroncap-2021-%C5%A1koda-enyaq-iv-datasheet.pdf|title=Euro NCAP | 500 - Server Error}}}}
