Skoda eyes clean car rebate

Skoda New Zealand has announced the “Launch Edition” model of its Enyaq Sportline will qualify for a rebate under the government’s clean car discount.

Following strong interest from New Zealand buyers, the marque has set pricing for its first fully electric vehicle (EV) at a driveaway price of $79,990.

This qualifies the SUV for a rebate, but other models in the Enyaq’s local line-up – the SUV Sportline Max and Coupe Sportline Max – are priced at $84,990 and $89,990 respectively.

The Enyaq is one of three new all-electric vehicles being launched by Skoda over the next four years. 

Rodney Gillard, Skoda NZ general manager, says the company is delighted to see an increasing interest from consumers for EVs. 

“With the launch of the Enyaq range and the evolution of the Skoda brand to become more sustainable, we have seen real growth within the brand and one that Kiwis really seem to resonate with,” he adds. 

“We’re now thrilled to be able to offer our Enyaq ‘Launch Edition’ model that is eligible for the clean car rebate.”
