Skoda Enyaq RS is the most powerful car Skoda ever put into production, and the national campaign that went to air today would rather you didn’t reduce it to a 0-100 time.
The campaign started nationally on 22 September with digital and social placements. It’s called “How Should Fast Feel?”, and Skoda built it around an electric SUV that reaches 100km/h in 5.4 seconds.
Lucie Kuhn, Brand Director at Skoda, said, “Performance has always been an important part of the RS story, but it’s only one part of what defines an RS model. Performance should inspire confidence while remaining comfortable and enjoyable to use every day. That’s the idea behind this campaign and what makes the Enyaq RS such a compelling addition to the RS family.”
What Gets Skoda Enyaq RS to 100km/h in 5.4 Seconds
Skoda Enyaq RS has an impressive 250kW/545Nm, with a motor on each axle and adaptive chassis technology. The battery is 84kWh gross, 79kWh usable, and DC charging peaks at a modest 185kW. 10 to 80% takes around 26 minutes, just enough time for a coffee and pastry.

668km WLTP is the city cycle, but the combined WLTP is 523km for the SUV and 534km for the Coupe. So the headline is 145km of town driving ahead of the figure you’d plan a Hume Highway run around. Work the usable 79kWh against 523km and it comes out near 15kWh/100km, which is tidy going for 250kW.
The RS Badge Turns 50
RS began as competition equipment around 50 years ago. The 180 RS and the 200 RS came first, then the 130 RS. RS appeared on road cars later, through successive generations of Octavia RS and Kodiaq RS, which is where most of us know them.
Skoda Motorsport still operates one of the world’s most successful customer rally programmes, its Rally2 cars entered in championships around the world. That’s the thread the campaign pulls on, from a gravel stage in the 1970s to a silent family SUV with a plug.
Where Skoda Enyaq RS Fits in the RS Line-Up
Skoda Enyaq RS joins Octavia RS and Kodiaq RS, which gives Skoda 3 RS models in the local line-up. The SUV costs $75,490 plus on-roads, with $76,490 for the Coupe, so that slinky Coupe roofline costs $1,000. Skoda marked its best sales year here with a 7 year warranty promotion, something standard in other brands, and common in Chinese brands.
Things are still Tough for Skoda and VW Parent
Skoda sold 353 cars in August against 420 a year earlier, a 16% fall for the month and 0.3% of the market. Across the year it’s 2,751 against 2,902, down 5.2%. Skoda’s management have taken to calling a flat year a good result, with about 80 brands now chasing the same buyers.
Volkswagen, which owns Skoda, is having the worse end of it. VW sold 1,629 cars in August against 2,626 a year ago, down 38%, and its share of the month fell from 2.6% to 1.6%. Worldwide it’s no better, with deliveries off 6.3% in the first half, net profit down 36%, and 100,000 jobs going by 2030. Flat starts to look like a win against that.
August was also the biggest month electric cars ever had here, 27,089 of them across all reporting sources. That’s the market the Enyaq RS is selling into, one that is changing fast.
