Skoda Enyaq Coupe vRS 2023 extended evaluation

When we decided to run the Skoda Enyaq vRS as part of our long-term test fleet, we had a specific goal in mind: to determine if the vRS badge could make an electric car exciting. However, after spending some time with the Enyaq vRS, it became clear that the answer is no. Despite adding extra power, sporty styling elements, and vRS badges, the Enyaq vRS fails to deliver the same level of excitement and performance that Skoda's vRS line is known for.

But here's the thing - I don't really mind. While the Enyaq vRS may not be a thrilling performance EV, it is still a fantastic electric vehicle in its own right. When you remove the expectations created by the vRS badges, the Enyaq vRS shines as a practical and capable family crossover, delivering everything you would want from an electric vehicle.

Visually, the Enyaq vRS Coupe is quite striking. It stands out from its SUV sibling, resembling more of a slightly oversized saloon. The distinct design adds to its overall appeal and sets it apart from other vehicles in its class.
