Introduction: Where Vision Meets Innovation
The future of electric mobility is no longer a distant dream—it’s here, and it wears a Skoda badge. The Skoda Enyaq iV, the Czech manufacturer’s first all-electric SUV built on Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, has been turning heads since its global debut. Now, with its latest 2025 upgrade, the Enyaq iV takes a massive step forward, blending sustainable driving, intelligent technology, and luxurious comfort like never before.

Signature LED Crystal Face
The first thing you’ll notice is the LED-illuminated Crystal Face grille, which lights up the Enyaq iV’s bold front fascia. Inspired by Czech glass artistry, it’s more than aesthetic—it symbolizes a fusion of tradition and innovation. The crystalline design is flanked by full LED Matrix headlights, offering adaptive illumination that adjusts to traffic and road conditions in real-time.
