Connectivity: new Digital Cockpit, 13-inch display and online services specific to all-electric vehicles

› State-of-the-art infotainment system and the largest screen of all ŠKODA models
› Many new functions backed by online data and remote vehicle access via the MyŠKODA app

Mladá Boleslav, 29 March 2021 – New display formats and online services specific to all‑electric vehicles define the ENYAQ iV’s advanced infotainment from the latest-generation Modular Infotainment Matrix technology. The control centre is the centrally positioned touchscreen which, at 13 inches, is the largest display in a ŠKODA. It can also be operated by gesture control and via the Laura digital voice assistant. The newly designed 5.3-inch Digital Cockpit clearly displays the most important information. The driver can choose between four different layouts, which can be operated intuitively using the multifunction steering wheel. A permanent internet connection enables the use of numerous innovative online services, many of which are specifically designed for electric vehicles, such as controlling battery charging or the interior’s air conditioning remotely via the MyŠKODA app.

The ŠKODA ENYAQ iV features two digital screens in new formats. The redesigned Digital Cockpit displays the most important information such as speed, driving data, navigation and active assistance systems, on a 5.3-inch screen. The driver uses the multifunction steering wheel to control numerous vehicle functions and assistance systems as well as to switch between the four different Digital Cockpit layouts. The optional head-up display projects additional information in clear view of the driver.

With an impressive screen size of 13 inches, the ENYAQ iV’s free-standing display is the largest in any current ŠKODA model. The layouts can be personalised and the touchscreen can be operated using a touch slider, multi-touch gestures, gesture control or the Laura digital voice assistant. She understands instructions in 15 languages, six of which she can even process in fluently spoken sentences. The ENYAQ iV’s infotainment system receives DAB digital radio as well as internet and hybrid radio as standard. A smartphone can be paired with the system without a cable using Wireless SmartLink, Android Auto, Apple CarPlay or MirrorLink™ and can be charged inductively when placed in the Phone Box. From the ENYAQ iV 60 upwards, an amplifier with 4 x 20 watts and eight speakers come as standard; the ENYAQ iV 50 has four speakers.

Thanks to a built-in eSIM, the ŠKODA ENYAQ iV comes with a permanent internet connection, giving users access to numerous functions that are backed by online data and allowing navigation maps or the system software to be updated remotely. Traffic information, for example, is based on real-time data obtained from the internet, as is the route planner of the optional navigation function. Some options in the comprehensive range of mobile online services available on ŠKODA Connect have been specifically designed to meet the requirements of electromobility. Using the MyŠKODA app or the web portal, the owner can remotely control battery charging, switch on the air conditioning before starting their journey or set corresponding schedules. Numerous other services will also be added remotely soon. The ENYAQ iV will be able to send messages to the user’s smartphone, for example, if it has been stolen, leaves a predefined area or is travelling faster than the speed limit set. In the future, Care Connect services will be able to diagnose or even rectify faults remotely in the event of problems with the vehicle. Services from the Infotainment Online area can assist with planning aspects concerning the range or display real-time traffic light changes along the route, for example, allowing the driver to take advantage of a ‘green wave’.
