Conservatives are attacking Ford’s Very Gay Raptor, but that hasn’t stopped Skoda from celebrating Pride Month with the all-new Enyaq Coupe Respectline.
Sporting an eye-catching appearance, the electric crossover celebrates “diversity, equity, fairness and inclusion, which are Skoda Auto’s core values.” While the messaging is clear, the model is notable for featuring a stylish exterior that “emphasizes the central idea of diversity through a colorful prism.”
While the wrap will likely draw the most attention, the model also sports a unique Crystal Face grille. It’s illuminated by 131 white and multicolored LEDs, although it comes off more gamer than anything else.

The expressive theme continues in the cabin with rainbow ambient lighting and matte white trim featuring colorful accents. They’re joined by “graphical embossing” on the seats and a three-spoke steering wheel with Respectline badging.
The one-off model was created by Skoda employees and will make its public debut at the Czech Philharmonic Orchestra’s Open Air concert on June 21. The crossover will then be displayed at the Pride Business Forum and the Prague Pride Festival, before hitting the road and going abroad to promote “respect for all people and the environment.”

While companies and brands such as Ford, Target, Kohl’s and Bud Light have come under fire for their support of the LGBTQ+ community, Skoda’s Martina Zimmermann said, “Having respect for one another and for each person’s uniqueness is the prerequisite for mutual understanding. It’s great that we have managed to incorporate these values into the Skoda Enyaq Coupe Respectline in collaboration with colleagues from other departments, and I hope that its message will reach as many people as possible.”
