The India-bound Skoda Enyaq electric SUV has achieved an impressive five-star rating from the Green NCAP, an independent program dedicated to evaluating the environmental impact of cars across Europe. Recently showcased at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo 2024 in India, the Enyaq is set to be launched here later this year. Let us look at the results of Skoda’s first all-electric SUV.
Scoring an average of 96 per cent, the Enyaq excels on various parameters, as per Green NCAP. It earned a perfect 10/10 score in the Clean Air Index due to its zero tailpipe emissions. On energy efficiency, it scored 9.4 points out of 10. As an all-electric vehicle, the Skoda Enyaq's greenhouse gas emissions are solely tied to its electricity supply. With low energy consumption and Europe's predominantly green electricity grid, it achieves a score of 9.6 points out of 10 in this aspect.
