Skoda Enyaq vRS Coupé review: Fast, practical and still hard to justify

The Skoda Enyaq vRS Coupé review paints the model as fast and practical, but notes that the coupé bodystyle, lack of zing, and high price limit its appeal. The piece argues that coupé SUVs, while attractive for their aesthetics and driving dynamics, often fail to justify their premium beside traditional SUVs. The Enyaq vRS Coupé, Skoda’s high-performance variant, receives praise for driving dynamics but must contend with the segment’s general drawbacks, including heavier weight and reduced cargo space. The review also notes how price can be a significant obstacle.

Additionally, the article emphasizes that buyers in this segment are typically four to five years younger than regular SUV buyers and that manufacturers can command higher prices. For example, BMW reportedly charges around $5,000 more for the X6 than the X5, illustrating the premium attached to SAC; the Enyaq vRS Coupé sits in a similar market position. The piece also highlights practical drawbacks, such as rear headroom and boot capacity, and questions whether the styling advantages compensate for the added cost and reduced practicality. In addition, the article notes that, while the Enyaq vRS Coupé offers strong performance, daily usability may be affected by lower cargo capacity and higher initial cost.
