Skoda has already teased the Enyaq iV, it's first all-electric vehicle, giving us a hint of its sharp design language. The Skoda Enyaq iV is based on the emotive design language we already seen on new-age Skoda models like the Scala, Kamiq and the new fourth-generation Octavia. Well we're finally going to see the car in the flesh tomorrow as it makes its global debut and we'll have some more details on exactly what it looks like.

The Enyaq iV features sculpted lines at just the right places and draws inspiration from Bohemian crystal art. The large wheels add to the muscle and the high ground clearance gives it a powerful stance. The front overhang is really short and the slanting roofline brings a sense of sportiness. The window too is fairly wide and that should make the cabin brighter and airy. The sleek taillights and tapering rear windscreen continue the sporty design at the rear as well. The Skoda Enyaq iV will incorporate elements from other models in the family for instance the signature LED daytime running lamps (DRLs) and outline of the grille.

Based on the MEB platform, it is 4648 mm long, 1,877 mm wide and 1,618 mm tall. Just to give you an idea, it's marginally smaller than the Skoda Kodiaq on sale in the Indian market while it is claimed to be more spacious on the inside as the battery pack will be integrated in the floor. On the inside, the Enyaq iV looks futuristic with elements like a massive 13-inch rectangular touchscreen taking centre-stage and the sleek instrument cluster looks modern as well. The contours and lines on the dashboard add a sense of edginess as well, making it look modern and contemporary. The company has confirmed that the feature list will also include a newly designed head-up display and augmented reality features while it uses natural and recycled materials inside the cabin, just like we saw on the Skoda Vision IN concept. The Enyaq iV will also offer a boot space of 585 litres. Interiors will be draped in soft touch materials and the seat covers are made of 40 per cent new wool and bear the Woolmark Company's seal. The remaining 60 per cent of the blend is polyester from recycled PET bottles.
