NEW 2025 ŠKODA ENYAQ 85 REVIEW: THE BEST COUPE EV

EV Channels Review

Jasper reviews the facelifted Škoda Enyaq Coupé 85, highlighting its modern styling and enhanced value. He praises the new illuminated grille, tasteful LED lighting, and the 'modern solid' design language, noting its sturdy and sleek appearance. The interior, particularly the optional 'Lounge' trim with its suede microfiber and contrast stitching, is lauded for its premium feel and excellent material choices. Practicality is a strong suit, with a generous 570L boot that expands to over 1,600L when seats are folded, plus clever storage solutions. The driving experience is described as relaxing and comfortable, with well-damped suspension aided by the dynamic chassis control. While acknowledging its 2.2-ton weight, Jasper notes it handles well for its size. The real-world range is estimated at a respectable 295-300 miles, competitive within its segment. Criticisms include the lack of physical climate controls, the optional nature of many desirable features (leading to a significant price increase on the tested model), and slightly numb brake pedal feel due to strong regenerative braking. Despite these points, the Enyaq Coupé is recommended as an excellent all-round family EV, offering a solid ownership experience without needing the top-tier VRS trim.
