What stands out about the new all-electric ŠKODA ENYAQ iV when seen from outside? That was discussed by Alex Kersten, the automobile enthusiast and journalist, and head of ŠKODA’s exterior design Karl Neuhold. Neuhold draws attention to the body’s short overhangs, dynamic proportions and crystalline headlight details, as well as describing the design of the new 21 inch wheels and details enhancing the car’s outstanding aerodynamics.

Head of interior design at ŠKODA Petr Olah tells Alex that the car offers six interior design versions created by the designers to correspond to various lifestyles reflected in home interiors. Their conversation then moves on to the comfortable seats, new steering wheel design and distinctive dashboard that is as practical as it is striking:
