SKODA has announced that its range-topping Enyaq Coupe vRS will arrive in the UK in July with a £51,885 price tag. The first all-electric SKODA to wear the brand’s famous vRS badge will be available to order from 17 February. 

In terms of performance, battery and range, the vRS is fitted with a 77kWh battery pack and has a WLTP driving range of 309 miles. It features twin motors – one on either axle – that produce a combined power output of 295bhp. Maximum torque is rated at 460Nm. According to SKODA, that’s enough power to get the vRS from 0-62mph in 6.5 seconds.

Like other models in the range, the Enyaq vRS can be rapid DC charged at speeds of up to 135kW. This means an 80% charge can be achieved in around 36 minutes when connected to a 150kW charger or faster. On a standard 7.2kW home wallbox, a charge from empty to full will take around 13 hours.

To sharpen the driving experience, the vRS is equipped as standard with a sports chassis that is 15mm lower at the front and 10mm at the rear. Dynamic steering is also standard.

Design highlights include sports front and rear bumpers and gloss black surrounds for the grille, window trim and rear diffuser. Badges, tailgate lettering and the air curtain trim on the front apron are also finished in black, while the rear bumper adds a full-length red reflector – a design feature shared will all other SKODA vRS models. Like all Coupé models, the vRS is fitted with a full-length panoramic glass roof as standard.

The vRS comes with black 20-inch Taurus wheels as standard with 21-inch Vision wheels with an anthracite finish available as an option. Both feature aerodynamically optimised plastic Aero trims. Full LED matrix headlights and SKODA’s unusual Crystal Face (illuminated by 131 LEDs) complete the vRS model’s exterior design package. 

Inside, the vRS features what SKODA describes as a model-specific ‘Design Selection’ reserved for the sporting flagship of the range. In addition to black perforated leather sports seats (heated) with integrated headrests, grey piping and contrast stitching, the vRS features a leather multifunction sports steering wheel complete with vRS badge. 

vRS models will arrive in the UK in July with standard Coupe models expected to follow in August.
