To be introduced in early 2022, the Enyaq Coupe iV naturally gets a sloping roofline and a better drag coefficient (cd) of 0.247 than the regular Enyaq iV variant.
Measuring 4653 mm long , 1879 mm wide, up to 1622 mm tall and with a wheelbase of up to 2765 mm, the coupé is 4 mm longer than the Enyaq iV and 1 mm taller.
Riding on alloys wheels (19 to 21 inches) the EV can be equipped with full-LED Matrix headlights and full-LED rear lights, along with the the ‘Crystal Face’.
Inside, the ‘Design Selections’ (Loft, Lodge, ecoSuite) continue and the EV comes with features such as a 13-inch touchscreen, 5.3-inch digital instrument display, panoramic glass roof, ambient lighting, dual zone climate control, keyless go, navigation, driver-assistance systems and more.

The Enyaq Coupe iV 80 has a 150 kW (201 BHP) motor and the same torque figure as the 60 variant, but is hits 100 km/hr from nought 0.1 second faster.
Of course, it is the 80x with a 195 kW (261 BHP) electric motor that puts out 425 Nm which is the fastest of the lot. It can complete the 0-100 km/hr sprint in 7 seconds and should also offer plentiful grip.
All grades come with a single speed gearbox and the maximum speed of them all is 160 km/hr. While the speed of the EV is conservative, its weight is not, for it weighs between 2001 kg and 2361 kg.
