Škoda has introduced two new entry-level Enyaq models, bringing the cheapest version down to £36,970 - £2,000 less than before. 

The new Enyaq 50 and Enyaq 50 Edition are fitted with a new 55kWh battery pack (52kWh net) that delivers up to 234 and 232 miles of range respectively on the WLTP cycle. The rear-mounted electric motor generates 170PS and 310Nm of torque and can accelerate the Enyaq from 0-62mph in 9.1 seconds.

In terms of charging, both Enyaq 50 models offer a peak DC charge speed of 145kW, which is actually faster than the 77kWh versions.  A charge to 80% on a suitable DC rapid charger will take around 25 minutes. A full charge on an 11kW AC connection will take around five hours and 30 minutes. As with all other Enyaq models, the new 50 variants come with an eight-year, 100,000 mile battery warranty.

The new Enyaq 50 models replace the outgoing Enyaq 60 models in the revised line-up. Both come equipped with 19-inch Proteus alloy wheels, Loft interior Design Selection, 13-inch touchscreen infotainment display with navigation and all of the  expected safety features. The posher Edition models add LED Matrix beam headlights and LED rear lights, heated front seats and steering wheel plus privacy glass. The Edition model also comes with an extra pack called Crew Protect Assist, which includes front and rear side airbags and a central interaction airbag as standard. Tri-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control and cooled wireless charging (15W) are also included in the Edition’s specification.

The revised Enyaq range now starts at £36,970 for the Enyaq 50, with the Enyaq 50 Edition priced at £38,585. Elsewhere, the line-up has been simplified and now features the Enyaq 85 Edition, Enyaq 85x Sportline Plus, Enyaq 85 L&K and the range-topping Enyaq vRS. All Enyaq 85 models are equipped with a larger 82kWh (77kWh net) battery pack.
