This is the Skoda Vision iV, a new SUV concept that sits on the VW Group’s all-electric MEB platform. It was one of four VW Group cars at this year’s Geneva Motor Show to feature the platform, including the VW ID. Buggy and SEAT el-Born concepts.

The Vision iV concept follows on from the Czech firm’s Vision E concept from the 2017 Frankfurt Motor Show and, according to Skoda, offers a reliable indication of an upcoming all-electric production model, which will arrive in 2021.

Skoda Vision iV concept – powertrain and performance

The Vision iV concept is driven by two electric motors, one powering the front axle and one the rear, which combine to produce a total output of 302bhp. Skoda claims a 0–62mph time of 5.9 seconds, a 50–75mph time of less than four seconds and an electronically limited top speed of 112mph.

The motors are powered by a liquid-cooled 82kWh lithium-ion battery, mounted between the vehicle’s axles. Skoda says the battery pack offers up to 310 miles of range under the WLTP testing regime and can be charged to 80 per cent capacity in 30 minutes.

Design and technology

The coupe-SUV profile is rounded off with a number of trademark concept car design features, including electrically-operated doors bereft of handles, rear-view cameras in place of conventional wing mirrors, and huge 22-inch alloy wheels. The headlights are LED Matrix units.
