Skoda Auto Volkswagen India has announced its participation at the Bharat Mobility Expo 2024, which is scheduled to take place from February 1-3, 2024. The brand claims that it will have a selection of cutting-edge ICE and EV models, and will include cars and SUVs from all the sub-brands, from VW and Skoda to Audi, Porsche and Lamborghini. We can confirm that Skoda’s Enyaq iV all-electric crossover will be a part of the company’s display at the event being held at Pragati Maidan, New Delhi.
First showcased in production form in September 2020, the all-electric Enyaq iV has also been spied testing in India. Skoda is expected to reveal prices for the electric crossover in March this year, marking the Czech brand’s entry into the Indian EV space. We will most likely get the range-topping Enyaq iV 80x, which comes with a 77kWh battery and dual motors (one on each axle, simulating AWD) that make 265hp. The battery pack is said to support 125kW DC fast charging, and can go 513km (WLTP) on a single charge.
The Enyaq iV is based on the VW Group’s born-electric MEB platform, which also underpins the Volkswagen ID 4 and Audi Q4 e-tron. The Skoda measures 4,648mm long and 1,877mm wide – it’s only slightly smaller than the Skoda Kodiaq, but it is strictly a two-row SUV.
Launched at the end of last year at a mouth-watering Rs 8.89 crore (ex-showroom, before options), the Lamborghini Revuelto will also be displayed at the Skoda Auto Volkswagen India pavilion. The 1,015hp V12 hybrid supercar is already sold out until 2026, and fresh orders are unlikely to be taken by the Italian marque. The plug-in hybrid system, which adds three electric motors – two at the front and one above the 8-speed dual-clutch gearbox – helps the 825hp, 6.5-litre V12 engine, together propelling the Revuelto to 100kph in 2.5 seconds, and going on to a top speed of 325kph.
