2025 Skoda Enyaq - Introduction
Although this is officially called the Enyaq facelift, it’s been an update of two halves, really. This refresh mainly focuses on design and kit, because all the important bits underneath were changed last year. You can read all about the 2024 Skoda Enyaq in our full review, right here, but this new Enyaq gets the choice of 59- or 77kWh (usable capacity) batteries, with a WLTP range of 268- or 359 miles respectively, if you stick with the rear-wheel drive models that are expected to be the bigger sellers. The top-spec, four-wheel drive Enyaq 85x is only available with the bigger battery, and manages a range of 332 miles.
You can also go for the sleeker Skoda Enyaq Coupe, which gets the same powertrain options and nudges the WLTP range up by a few miles thanks to being a bit more slippery and aerodynamic.
Styling and dimensions
As you can see, the Enyaq looks quite a bit like another new electric Škoda - the Elroq - which we showed you last year. That’s because Skoda is introducing this new look, which it grandly calls “Modern Solid” to all its new cars. I'm not quite sure I understand the meaning of that, but the car looks cool so it doesn’t really matter!
It’s smart, and it looks the part, and the smaller, slicker-looking fascia is a neat way to hide the radar and sensors needed for the assistance systems. The flying turkey head badge has gone, too, replaced by neat and tidy Skoda lettering. The changes are more than just cosmetic, too. There are a number of aerodynamic improvements; the gap between the bumper and the grille has been reduced and the air curtains have been altered to improve air flow, making the new Enyaq more aerodynamically efficient - helping to eek that range up for this facelifted model, too.
The headlight set up is also new; you’ve now got the four-eyed look with Matrix beam units and secondary LEDs, all of which is linked by the light strip made up of vertical LED eye-lashes like the Elroq.
Obviously, the Enyaq has stayed much the same size as before, which means that it's just under 4.7m long; a very similar size to the VW ID.4 (which shares the same underpinnings), as well as the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, while alternatives like the Ford Explorer and Renault Scenic are a touch shorter.
Interior
Inside, well it’s as lovely as it always has been. I’ve spent time in the Volkswagen ID4 and Cupra Born, but they’re not a patch on the Enyaq in terms of quality and usability. It’s just a lovely place to spend time. So, what's new? Well, the steering wheel is new and has the Škoda word mark instead of the badge, which matches the bonnet. And it’s heated on all models now - which is great because I simply can’t live without a heated steering wheel.
As you may know, Škoda does things a bit differently when it comes to interiors. You can choose between what it calls ‘Design Selections’, all of which now major on sustainability while still looking very lovely.
The infotainment system has had a further tweak with some nice features added. The screen itself is 13-inches and, for me, perfectly placed, plus there’s 5.0-inch digital display ahead of the driver (none of this speedo on the central touchscreen stuff, as you get with the Tesla Model Y - another of the Enyaq's big rivals). Like before, there’s a head-up display available but it’s an option rather than standard, which is a shame.
On the main screen there’s a new top bar that houses the controls you tend you use the most. I’m pleased to see that battery pre-heating is one of them because that makes a big difference to the charging speeds you’ll get at a public charger. Just press this when you’re getting close to the charger and the battery will be at the perfect temperature to make the most of the new, faster charging speeds that the Enyaq gets. More manufacturers need to do this, as a lot offer pre-heating only if you have the charger on the nav in the car's native system... But most of us probably use Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, right? So having a manual pre-heat button that's easy to prod when you know you're fifteen minutes or so away from your charging destination is a great feature.
Skoda has also speeded up the time it takes to wake up, which is really good news. After you’ve logged in for the first time, you won’t need to authorise it every time you get in. Hurrah! Who ever thought that was a good idea in the first place?
The rest of the interior didn’t need changing, so I’m pleased to report that all the good bits are still here. The driving position is one of the best I’ve come across, and there’s tons of space in the back seats - just as there was before. I think the kids will be really happy with the amount of space on offer, plus there are two, new high power USB-C ports here to keep their devices powered up.
Boot space
Let's hear it for the colossal boot in the Enyaq! The SUV version offers 585 litres of space with the seats up (unchanged from before) and a whopping 1,710 litres with the back seats folded. The Coupe isn’t far behind, with 570- and 1,610 litres. That means that the Enyaq remains one of the best family SUVs out there for luggage space, which is no small incentive for a lot of family motorists. You can add a tow bar, too, which is useful for rear-mounted bike carriers - or you can tow a braked trailer of up to 1400kg.
Battery, charging and efficiency
We've already mentioned the 2025 Skoda Enyaq's two lithium-ion batteries of 59- or 77kWh (usable capacity) batteries, which deliver a WLTP range of 268- or 359 miles respectively if you stick with the rear-wheel drive models. That smaller battery is a touch bigger than it was before, which is useful... The cars are badged the Enyaq 60 and the Enyaq 85, I assume just to confuse us and everyone else, as those numbers don't. reflect the usable or total battery capacity that the car actually gets.
Anyway, there are improvements to the rapid charging, too. Rapid charging peaks at up to 175kW on every big battery Enyaq (previously it was only the four-wheel drive models that got this ultra-rapid charging). The Skoda Enyaq 60 gets a very decent 165kW peak rapid charging speed so, to be honest, you won't really see much of a difference between the two in real-world charging conditions. Both will deliver a 100 mile top-up in under 15 minutes, and a 10-80% top-up in roughly 25 minutes.
What is disappointing is that the Enyaq doesn't get bi-directional charging (like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Kia EV6). You have to pay a lot extra to get a heat pump (which will improve your winter range), too, which is really hard to accept given that more affordable alternatives like the Renault Scenic E-Tech get one as standard.
Price and equipment
The Enyaq has had a boost in standard equipment for this 2025 facelift. There will be three trims to choose from - SE L, Edition and Sportline - and even the entry-level car now gets three-zone climate control, blind spot warning, keyless entry and adaptive cruise control. Edition trim comes in both the SUV and Coupe body styles, and is also the cheapest trim you can have if you want the bigger battery, plus it adds bigger alloy wheels, LED Matrix headlights and style upgrades. The Enyaq Sportline is, predictably, the sportiest of the trim lineup with contrasting black style upgrades. It'll only be offered with the four-wheel drive models, complete with head-up display, progressive steering and sports suspension.
But how much does it cost?! Well, we'd love to know, too... Unfortunately Skoda hasn't confirmed this small detail just yet, but we're expecting the new Skoda Enyaq to maintain similar pricing, which would mean a starting price of around £37,000, although that may creep up a bit given the bigger battery. Price will probably top out at around £54,000.
2025 Skoda Enyaq - Verdict
So, there we have it - the facelifted Skoda Enyaq. I don’t know about you, but I think Škoda has done a great job here. It’s not always easy applying a new look to an existing model, but I think Skoda has got it right on this occasion. I do wish that the heat pump was standard, and that Skoda had managed to include vehicle-to-load charging. But with these latest updates, and those that made it into production last year, this is a hugely convincing package.
