Škoda has taken the next step in its EV strategy with the launch of the new Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe. Headlining the improvements are the brand’s ‘Modern Solid’ design language, a signature Skoda trait. Optimised aerodynamics deliver an improved range with the car’s carbon footprint also lightened thanks to greater use of sustainable materials while offering an extensive range of standard equipment. Digital capabilities and assistance systems have also been improved! Orders for the new Enyaq are now open in several European markets with prices starting at around €44,000.
The new Škoda Enyaq stands out with its distinctive shape and clean lines. Featuring a glossy black ‘Tech-Deck’ Face, a striking ‘Light Band’, Škoda lettering on the bonnet in ‘Unique Dark Chrome’, and the exclusive ‘Olibo Green’ colour, it embodies the brand’s ‘Modern Solid’ design language. The new Enyaq also offers a wide range of alloy wheels, from 19 to 21 inches, and boasts excellent aerodynamics, with drag coefficients of 0.245 for the Enyaq and 0.225 for the Enyaq Coupé.
The range is now available with two battery sizes and three powertrain options, delivering outputs from 150 kW to 210 kW. The top tier Enyaq 85x features an additional electric motor on the front axle, providing all wheel drive capability. With an extended range of more than 590 kilometres, it is perfectly suited for long-distance journeys. Rapid charging at DC fast-charging stations is now supported, achieving a charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 28 minutes or fewer, thanks to a maximum charging rate of 175 kW.
As before, interior space is ample with a generous luggage capacity. Its interiors are characterised by timeless designs, intuitive controls, and enhanced standard equipment. The redesigned steering wheel now features Škoda lettering in place of the brand logo. A 5-inch ‘Digital Cockpit’ comes as standard, with an optional head-up display featuring augmented reality available. The ‘Design Selections’ prioritise sustainability, using innovative, durable, and practical materials. Additionally, the new Enyaq introduces several ‘Simply Clever’ details to the series, including a QR code in the boot.
The redesigned MyŠkoda app introduces several enhancements to make life with the Enyaq more convenient, including new functions for electric vehicles such as ‘Predictive Maintenance’. ‘Powerpass’ is now fully integrated into the app. Additional digital features, accessible via the MyŠkoda app on a smartphone, simplify parking and vehicle access, while updates to the infotainment system further enhance the user experience. Moreover, the list of standard assistance systems has been expanded to include ‘Side Assist’ and ‘Crew Protect Assist’.
