The updated Enyaq RS twins now showcase Skoda's latest design evolution, highlighted by the introduction of the 'Tech Deck' front end — a smoother, more closed-off fascia that improves aerodynamic efficiency. One of the key visual changes is the switch from the classic Skoda badge to a bold 'SKODA' lettering on the bonnet, lending a more modern and assertive presence.

Unique to the RS variants are restyled bumpers — the front sports a larger lower lip and aggressive side vents, while the rear gets a more sculpted diffuser-like element. These changes are more than skin deep; they also contribute to improved airflow around the body. New alloy wheels, optimized for aero performance, are offered in 20-inch size as standard, with larger 21-inch options available for those seeking a more performance-focused setup.

Under the skin, both RS models retain the dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration producing 335 bhp. Thanks to better aerodynamic tuning, the 0-100 kmph sprint now takes just 5.4 seconds — a slight improvement over the outgoing version. While the top speed remains unchanged at 180 kmph, the driving range has seen a meaningful jump.
A larger 84 kWh battery (up from 82 kWh) and a sleeker body shape allow the Enyaq RS to travel up to 562 km on a single charge, while the Coupe RS edges ahead with a claimed 568 km range. DC fast charging has also been upgraded, with both models now supporting 185 kW charging speeds — shaving two minutes off the previous 10-80 per cent charging time.

Inside, Skoda has preserved the familiar layout but refreshed the RS models with two exclusive interior themes: RS Lounge and RS Suite. The RS Lounge uses black suede-like microfibre across seats and trim with contrast stitching for a sporty feel, while the RS Suite features leatherette upholstery and adds ventilated front seats as standard.
The feature list has grown smarter too. A new suite of advanced driver-assistance systems (ADAS) brings in functions like remote-controlled parking and a memory-based parking assist, accessible via Skoda's connected smartphone app. The infotainment system now includes live hazard alerts through its navigation interface. Passengers will also appreciate the addition of ultra-fast 45W USB-C ports, front seat massage functions, and a gesture-controlled power tailgate — all included as standard.

Chandigarh administration expands electric vehicle incentives, increases quota for e-cars

1 2 Chandigarh: In a bid to jumpstart the city's sluggish EV adoption, the UT administration has rolled out fresh initiatives to reignite public interest. As part of the renewed push for e-mobility, the incentive framework under the Chandigarh Electric Vehicle Policy-2022 has been expanded, following a sharp decline in e-car registrations after the initial incentive quota was exhausted. Under the original policy, the first 2,000 electric four-wheelers registered in the city were eligible for incentives of up to Rs 1.5 lakh, calculated at Rs 5,000 per kWh of fixed battery capacity. This quota was exhausted in Nov 2023, after which the number of e-cars being registered dropped significantly. From Nov to March 2024, only around 200 e-cars were registered. In the first quarter of the current financial year, it is learnt that not a single e-car was registered out of the 1,188 EVs recorded. To address this, the UT Electric Vehicle Advisory Committee, in its meeting held on Thursday, decided to increase the quota by another 1,500 e-cars, making them eligible for incentives under the policy. The administration also confirmed that incentives for the 200 e-cars registered after the original quota was exhausted (applications for which were pending) will be released within 15 days.
