Skoda Auto had released the details of the upcoming Skoda Enyaq electric SUV earlier this year in May along with some images of its camouflaged test mule. Now the Czech brand is set to unveil the electric SUV on September 1 this year and has released its teaser images ahead of its launch. As we have known, the Skoda Enyaq will incorporate elements form other models in the family for instance the signature LED daytime running lamps (DRLs) and outline of the grille. That said, the teaser image suggests that it is expected to showcase the brand's new design direction as well. The silhouette image shows a tapering roofline and rising beltline that bring in a very contemporary and sporty appeal in the design.
