The Enyaq has been Skoda’s main electric flagbearer for a while. But now that the smaller (and more affordable) Elroq has entered the scene, the Enyaq needed a bit of freshening up. Cue this updated version: a sleeker nose, improved aerodynamics, and some tweaks to the tech. It’s more of a tidy-up than a full makeover, but is it enough to keep buyers interested?

Performance

Mechanically, not much has changed. The entry-level Enyaq 60 is powered by a 62kWh battery paired with a 201hp motor. Step up to the 85 or 85x, and you get an 82kWh pack (77kWh usable) with power climbing to 286hp.

The difference lies in the setup. The 85 is rear-wheel drive, while the 85x adds an extra motor for all-wheel traction. Both are brisk off the line, faster than most drivers will ever need, and they deliver that instant electric surge that makes everyday driving feel effortless. Sporty? Not really. But competent, smooth, and reassuring? Absolutely.

Range and Charging

The Enyaq 60 will officially cover up to 430km between charges, but the bigger battery versions are more appealing. Both the 85 and 85x use the 82kWh unit, though their charging capabilities differ slightly.

The 85x can accept up to 175kW DC, while the 85 caps out at 135kW. In real-world terms, both will get you from 10–80% in about half an hour. AC charging at 11kW is standard, making kerbside or workplace top-ups simple, and a full home charge on a wallbox overnight is an easy fit with daily life.

As for range, the rear-driven 85 SUV promises around 575km, with the Coupe variant squeezing out a little more at 587km.

Design and Interior

Most of the visual changes happen at the front: a slimmer grille, sharper lighting design, and an aero-friendly bumper borrowed from the Elroq. The body is slightly larger too, helping to set it apart from its little sibling.

Inside, the story is more familiar. Skoda has kept things simple, with new trim options and some shortcut buttons added to the infotainment system for quicker access. The touchscreen still isn’t perfect, stylish but not the easiest to use on the move, but it’s more intuitive than before.

Practicality is still a win for the Enyaq. The SUV body shape offers more headroom and a bigger boot (585 litres, or 1,710 with the seats folded), while the Coupe trades a little space for better aerodynamics and a fraction more range. Either way, you’re not short on room. And the usual Skoda touches, like the in-door umbrella, wireless charging bay, and ticket clip, keep daily life stress-free.

Cost Considerations

Prices start at €43,060 for the Enyaq 60, while the 85 is just a small step up, making it the sweet spot of the range. That places it a touch higher than the Elroq, but still competitive given the size difference. It’s not quite as cheap as VW’s ID.4, which sneaks in under €37,000, but Skoda does load the Enyaq with plenty of kit.

Standard features include heated seats and steering wheel, three-zone climate control, keyless entry, a digital cockpit, and a huge central touchscreen. Sportline models add larger alloys, sportier styling, and more tech for those wanting a sharper look.

Verdict

This refresh hasn’t reinvented the Enyaq, but that’s no bad thing. It still drives well, looks smarter than before, and offers strong value against its rivals. With the Elroq snapping at its heels, the Enyaq needed to raise its game, and while the updates are subtle, they’re enough to keep it firmly in the conversation as one of the most complete electric SUVs you can buy.
