SNEAK PEEK - NEW ŠKODA ENYAQ - IS IT STILL THE BEST EV ŠKODA MAKE?

EV Channels Review

The Škoda Enyaq receives a mid-life facelift that aims to keep it competitive against newer rivals, including its own smaller sibling, the Kamiq. The exterior styling is updated with a new 'Tech Deck' face, featuring a sleeker grille and optional illuminated accents, along with dark chrome trim and improved aerodynamics (Cd down to 0.245 for the SUV). Inside, the Enyaq maintains its practical strengths, offering ample rear space and a generous 585-liter boot (570L in the Coupe). Key interior updates include a standard 13-inch infotainment system, three-zone climate control, heated seats, and a heated steering wheel, all contributing to a more premium feel. Sustainability is a strong focus, with recycled materials and eco-friendly leather tanning processes highlighted. The reviewer notes the continued excellent build quality, surpassing even Audi in some aspects. Powertrain options are revised, with the old '50' model replaced by a '60' (59 kWh usable, up to 268 miles range) and an '85' (77 kWh usable, up to 365 miles range for RWD, 334 miles for AWD). Charging speeds are also adjusted, with the 85x (dual motor AWD) capable of 175 kW. While the reviewer praises the practicality, interior upgrades, and continued strong value proposition, they express minor disappointment with the small cup holders. The Enyaq remains a highly recommended family EV, offering a compelling blend of practicality, quality, and technology.
