The journalists of the Spanish edition km77 tested the handling of the first Skoda electric crossover, called the Enyaq iV, for the ability to overcome the so-called “elk test”. In this test, a high-speed maneuver is simulated to avoid a collision with some obstacle that suddenly appeared on the road. The result was disappointing: the Czech car "steers" badly.
The fuel-free SUV failed to pass the test at a reference speed of 77 km/h, but managed it only at 67 km/h. During one of the attempts, the car almost turned around at all, and the driver had to demonstrate his skills in getting it out of a skid. Thus, the Enyaq iV performed worse than the Dacia Spring (77 km/h), Tesla Model Y (75 km/h), Hyundai Kona Electric (74 km/h) and Mazda MX-30 (74 km/h) electrocrosses. .
It is worth noting that the test Enyaq iV in modification 60 is equipped with a 179-horsepower electric motor and a battery with a capacity of 58 kWh, the curb weight of the car is 1950 kg, which is moderate for an electric car. With a high degree of probability, the heavier all-wheel drive versions will perform even worse in this test. In defense of the electrocross, we can say that it was shod with Bridgestone Turanza Eco tires with a dimension of 235/50 R20 at the front and 255/45 R20 at the rear, and the “oak” tires of this Japanese company had previously let down not only the current Toyota RAV4 crossover in a similar test, but also light hatchback Volkswagen Golf.
