Skoda Enyaq - more power in the new year
Around four years after the start of production, Skoda is refreshing the Enyaq. The vehicles have undergone some technical changes in particular; visually, the changes are only minimal.
Skoda has revised the Enyaq. The electric crossover and its coupé offshoot have been given more power and range, as well as new software and a new infotainment system in the more powerful variants. The refreshed models can be recognized by minimal visual changes and their new name without the previous iV suffix. They are available in the Sportline, RS and, for the first time, the luxury L&K versions. Prices start at 44,200 euros.
The basic Enyaq 60 version with 132 kW/180 hp is only available as a hatchback and has a 58.0 kWh battery installed. It comes with a heat pump, reversing camera, front and rear parking sensors and a navigation system as standard.
The manufacturer gives a combined range of 398 kilometers. The Enyaq 85, which is also available as a coupé, is a step above. With 210 kW/286 hp, it delivers 60 kW/82 hp more than the previous Enyaq iV 80. With its revised electric motor, the 2.3-tonner reaches 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds and now only stops at 180 km/h instead of 160 km/h.
Maximum ranges of 563 and 536 kilometers
The equally powerful 85x has one engine at the front and one at the rear and therefore also all-wheel drive; it accelerates a tenth of a second faster and is just as quick. The maximum ranges are specified as 563 and 536 kilometers. Both versions are equipped with the 77 kWh battery and the 85x can now be charged with up to 175 kW instead of the previous 135 kW.
As before, the base prices are 48,900 and 51,150 euros (Coupé: 51,150 and 53,400 euros). Those opting for the new, most luxuriously equipped 85x L&K version will be able to get their hands on it from 61,250 euros - the illuminated radiator grille known as the "Crystal Face" is then already included.
Preheated battery
You have to invest at least 61,050 euros for the Enyaq RS. The all-wheel-drive model now has 250 kW/340 hp and also charges eight minutes faster. Zero to one hundred is achieved in five and a half seconds, the SUV version can now travel 537 kilometers on a single charge according to the WLTP standard, the coupé 543 kilometers.
Helpful: Enyaq 85, 85x and RS can now preheat the battery. Either automatically by entering an HPC charger as the navigation destination or manually.
A new generation of software provides a new user interface for the infotainment display, the digital instrument cluster and the head-up display, but only in the higher-priced 85, 85x and RS variants. It should be more intuitive to use than before and offer easier access to the desired functions. The screen offers one control surface each for apps, vehicle settings and the restyled home screen, as well as freely assignable favorite buttons.
