It may seem incredible, but the ŠKODA ENYAQ iV FestEVal can transform itself from comfortable, fully-electric SUV to stylish camping unit in the blink of an eye! The ENYAQ iV has won awards from both What Car? and Auto Trader this year for best value electric car. Now it sees a version which transforms into an adaptable boot-based camping unit for those festival trips and outdoor adventures.
An innovative boot-based camping unit, the EGOE ‘box’, is one of the first of its size and fits perfectly into the ENYAQ iV’s spacious 585-litre boot. It effortlessly slides out of the boot of the car on the campsite and has an integrated gas cooker, collapsible sink with tap and hose, preparation area and ample storage.
The flexibility and design of the unit allows the rear seats to still be used on the move, and when parked up at the campsite, it provides one of two sleeping areas in the ENYAQ iV 80 FestEVal – one of the only electric cars with room for up to four people to sleep.
The double bed frame can be put together in minutes, extending across the folded rear seats. The mattress cushions store on top of the box and provide comfortable in-car accommodation for two.
The second sleeping space is in the streamlined roof tent. The easy-to-use accommodation is accessed through a ladder that is stored inside the tent box when closed. The tent itself can be set up and taken down in a matter of minutes and has netting inside for storage, a solar-powered fan and an integrated torch for enhanced comfort and convenience. It offers spacious sleeping room for two people.
Space-saving camping chairs and a table can be set up and collapsed within seconds, ready for use as soon as campers arrive onsite. After the festival music has stopped onstage, you can continue the party through the ENYAQ iV’s eight-speaker sound system, while interior ambient lighting provides additional atmosphere into the evenings.
The ŠKODA ENYAQ iV 80 has a class-leading interior with up to 585 litres of boot space (1,710 litres with the rear seats folded) and up to 338 miles of range between charges. The 82kWh battery pack can be charged a speeds of up to 135kW, with 80% charge possible in under 30 minutes - a great car for all-electric road trips.
The ENYAQ iV uses a brake energy recuperation system that harnesses energy normally lost under braking and deceleration to increase the electric range. The level of regeneration can be adjusted using the paddles on the steering wheel, with 3 levels to choose from when the dedicated B-mode is chosen via the gear selector.
State-of-the-art connectivity is controlled using a 13" touchscreen infotainment system, supported by a digital instrument cluster ahead of the driver. The digital experience is enhanced by a head-up display that features augmented reality, making life on the move as easy and safe as possible.
A permanent internet connection lets you make use of a wi-fi connection for up to eight devices, while in everyday driving makes sure all information and systems are up to date. Drivers can also make use of a connected app to schedule and control charging and cabin pre-conditioning – making the beginning of every journey a comfortable one whatever the weather. ŠKODA’s Air Care system makes sure the air inside the cabin of the ENYAQ iV is as clean and pure as possible.
