Skoda Enyaq iV

Leap into Emobility

The Czech-manufactured all-electric crossover Enyaq iV has arrived, sporting Skoda’s innovative emotive design style and just enough bling to make a statement—a faux-intake ‘crystal’ grille illuminated by 130 LEDs. The Enyaq covers a range of up to 500 km in five different power variants, depending on which of its three highly efficient battery sizes you choose. Plus, low rolling resistance tyres and outstanding aerodynamics add to the fun, sustainable driving. The Enyaq easily fits four six-foot adults, with plenty of space to put their things. In addition to an exclusive 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system, it also comes with more than a few of Skoda’s nifty signature features, like umbrellas in the front door and an ice-scraper inside the tailgate.

Nissan Ariya

The EV with a Japanese ‘soul’

A bold, diverse expression that goes against the common approach, the futuristic-looking Ariya is the stunning representation of Nissan's new electrified brand identity. The new all-electric crossover takes more than styling cues from Japanese tradition—it’s built on them. One example of Ariya’s philosophically-driven redesigns was reimagining and seamlessly-integrating the front grill like a 'shield' to provide a higher level of protection for its driver-assisted technology. The Ariya is available in 2WD and 4WD with a choice between 63 kWh and 87 kWh batteries—for a range of up to 482 km. The Ariya reflects its distinctive Japanese DNA in a simple yet powerfully modern way.
