This is because they share the same platform and technologies.
The Enyaq was unveiled in Prague on September 1, last year. It is the first Skoda model that uses the Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric car platform. We are not surprised that the Czech SUV performed worse in the moose testing than its German counterpart.
We saw the following in June of this year: ID.4 passes the cones successfully In a test conducted by km77.com. According to the test pilot, the electric SUV felt predictable, but the stability control system didn’t always work properly. The same story applies to the Enyaq iV larger model, although the maximum speed is considerably lower.
The Czech SUV EV’s best speed without hitting the cones was 41.63 mph (67 kph), which is a very low result for an electric car. The vehicle is very similar to the ID.4, with the electronic stability controller braking a rearwheel to clear the cones. The car will oversteer after the second swerve.
The same behavior is more obvious and less predictable when the car attempts to accelerate at higher speeds. The ESC controls the car to stabilize it when it starts to oversteer. However, the pilot explains that the main problem is the Enyaq iV losing control towards the end.
The SUV EV’s tested model is one of the base models with a 58-kWh (usable), battery. In this configuration, the car weighs in at approximately 4,300 pounds (1.950 kg). The VW ID.4 with a similar specification is 4169 lbs (1891kg), but that seems to be enough weight to explain the performance gap.
