NEW SKODA ENYAQ REVIEW – BIG CHANGES FOR ELECTRIC SUV?

EV Channels Review

The Skoda Enyaq receives significant updates, enhancing an already strong electric SUV offering. Key improvements include increased power, faster charging capabilities for 85x and vRS models (now 175 kW), and a slightly extended official range of up to 348 miles for the 85 model. The interior sees minor tweaks, notably new shortcut buttons and an improved satnav with a useful pre-conditioning function, though climate controls remain on the touchscreen. Practicality remains a major strength, with vast interior space and a cavernous boot, though the lack of a front boot is noted. On the road, the 85 model offers a noticeable power boost, though accelerator response can be sensitive. Handling is described as tidy, predictable, and calm, with precise steering. Ride comfort is generally good, especially on 19-inch wheels, making it one of the most comfortable EVs for the money. The reviewer recommends the 85 trim for its balance of range and performance, while the 60 is a budget-friendly option for shorter journeys. The vRS is deemed too expensive and not engaging enough. Overall, the Enyaq is praised for its practicality, comfort, and value, solidifying its position as a top contender in the electric SUV market.
