The electric Skoda Aniak begins its official journey in Israel.
This is a crossover that sits on a dedicated electric platform of the Volkswagen Group, one that also serves other brands of the concern.
The cognac is actually the first of its kind to come to Israel.
The exterior design is modern, and still conveys the solidity that characterizes the company.
When it comes to size - the dimensions of the cognac are a few inches smaller than the familiar Skoda Kodiak.

In the first phase, the Iviac IV80 comes to Israel, equipped with an engine and rear-wheel drive, a power of 204 hp and an 82 kWh battery.
The clear strength here refers to the range of travel, with the declared figure standing at 517 km.
When it comes to performance in the Skoda, they declare acceleration to 100 km / h in 8.7 seconds on the way to the maximum speed (160 km / h) that is electronically limited.
The cognac will be offered here in six different finish levels, with the entry-level version coming with a rather attractive price tag, NIS 190,000.
It features a handsome amenity list and offers, among other things, 19-inch rims, a multimedia screen, split climate control, keyless entry, a digital dial and a driver's seat with electric adjustment.
When it comes to advanced safety equipment, you can find here (and all other levels of finish) independent braking capability, adaptive cruise control, correction of deviation from the lane, warning of vehicles in the dead area, parking sensors and more.
The other versions of the equipment offer more options and more cost, with the most expensive version ('Sportline' NIS 261,000) also adding sporty touches outside the car and in the cabin.
