Skoda Enyaq

Škoda Enyaq at a glance

Concepts and launch

Škoda's road to the Enyaq began with the Vision E concept at Auto Shanghai in 2017. It had two motors with 225 kW combined and a claimed 500 km range. The Vision iV of March 2019 came closer to the final car: 225 kW, an 83 kWh battery and a 550-litre boot. Škoda's chief executive said the production exterior would be 92 to 95 percent identical.

The name Enyaq was announced in February 2020. It was the first Škoda name to follow the brand's "E" convention for electric models. The world premiere took place in Prague on 1 September 2020, and series production started on 25 November 2020. Customers in Scandinavia received the first cars in late April 2021, and Western and Central Europe followed in May. Since May 2022 Škoda has assembled the traction batteries itself, from LG Chem and CATL cells.

Versions, batteries and range

The 85 and 85x use the APP 550 motor, which raised output from 150 kW to 210 kW (286 PS) in 2024. The entry 50 reaches 160 km/h and the 85 180 km/h. AC charging runs at 7.2 kW in the smallest version and 11 kW in the others. Wikipedia gives two different ranges for some versions; the table uses its per-version values. Our power converter shows the outputs in PS or hp.

Enyaq Coupé, RS and Laurin & Klement

The Coupé was presented on 31 January 2022, and production began in Mladá Boleslav the following month. It is 4 mm shorter and 6 mm taller than the SUV. Its boot is smaller, at 570 to 1,610 litres. The Coupé RS came first, with 220 kW (299 PS), 460 Nm and 0–100 km/h in 6.5 seconds. It reaches 179 km/h and has a WLTP range of 497 km. In the UK the RS badge is written vRS. In 2022 the Coupé RS iV won a Goldenes Lenkrad award in the mid-size SUV class.

The SUV RS followed in October 2022. The top Laurin & Klement trim, announced on 17 March 2023, is available as the 85 and 85x. For the UK, Škoda added the Enyaq Cargo in July 2025. It has no rear seats but keeps its rear windows, and in 2025 the conversion cost £1,815 including VAT (about €2,100).

Facelift of 2025: Modern Solid

Škoda revealed the updated Enyaq on 8 January 2025. The front took the "Modern Solid" design of the smaller Škoda Elroq. A gloss-black panel now houses sensors and cameras, the Škoda name replaces the badge, and a light bar links the matrix LED headlights. At the rear, C-shaped LED lamps can play selectable animations. The body grew by about 1 cm (Coupé 5 mm), and the drag coefficient fell to 0.245 (Coupé 0.225).

Prices stayed at the level of the pre-facelift car, and the 2025 Enyaq 60 now has 150 kW instead of the original 132 kW. Standard equipment now includes heated front seats and steering wheel, keyless entry and three-zone climate control. The Enyaq 60 charges at up to 165 kW instead of 135 kW, and the large battery at up to 175 kW. A 10 to 80 percent charge takes 28 minutes or less.

Safety and sales

Euro NCAP tested an Enyaq iV 60 in spring 2021 and gave it five stars. Adult protection reached 94 percent, child protection 89, pedestrian protection 71 and the assistance systems 82 percent. Speed assistance, a seatbelt reminder, lane assistance and autonomous emergency braking are standard.

Škoda sold 79,500 Enyaqs worldwide in 2024. Germany registered 73,971 from launch to December 2024. The Enyaq was the third most registered electric car in Germany in 2023 and the second in 2024.
