2025 Skoda Enyaq - Introduction
Although this is officially a facelift of 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 aerodynamic.
As you can see, the Enyaq looks quite a bit like another new electric Škoda - the Elroq. 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!
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.

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.
Range, Battery and Charging
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.
Now, let’s get into the charging stuff. The Enyaq 60 can peak at 165 kW, allowing you to go from 10 to 80% charge in 24 minutes.
The Enyaq 85 and 85x take it up a notch, peaking at 175 kW and achieving that same 10 to 80% charge in about 28 minutes. And if you’re plugging in at home or slower public points; all models can take up to 11 kW AC charging as standard. Useful if you use kerbside chargers or destination chargers.
One feature I really like is the battery preconditioning. This clever tech heats the battery before rapid charging, resulting in a much higher charging speed. I’ve tested it in the ID.3, and it works brilliantly! You can even manually activate it without having to plug your planned charging stop into the built-in navigation system - and it tells you what charging speed you can expect to get.
Skoda has introduced bidirectional DC charging capability (V2H) to the updated Enyaq 85 and 85x, allowing owners to use their car’s battery as a home energy storage unit. With the right setup – a compatible DC wallbox and, optionally, a home battery system – users can control energy flow to and from the car. That means tapping into cheaper electricity rates, reducing reliance on the grid, or even keeping the lights on during a power cut.
The downside? At present, there are no commercially available V2H home chargers on the market. Top remedy this, Skoda is developing its own bidirectional DC wallbox, designed to make the most of this new tech. It’s part of the brand’s wider push to integrate electric vehicles more seamlessly into everyday energy use – and potentially save drivers money in the process. Although we don't have a specific date for this being available, Skoda assures us that it is set to be introduced early next year.
Practicality and Boot Space
There’s tons of space in the back seats - just as there was before. Plus there are two, new high power USB-C ports to keep all those devices powered up. If you don‘t have kids, trust me when I tell you what a joy those are to have in a family car.
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. 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.

Interior, Design/Styling and Technology
Inside, the new Skoda Enyaq is as lovely as it always has been. I’ve spent time recently in the Volkswagen ID4 and Cupra Born, but I really do think that the Enyaq feels classier, and has better 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.
Motors, Performance and Handling
Alright, so we’ve covered all the subtle refinements — let’s get to the fun bit. How does it actually drive?
I got to have a go in the Enyaq 85, meaning bigger battery, bigger range – if also the most expensive model! It feels really smooth. Even by electric car standards, you notice it as soon as you drive off, how slick it all feels, and how natural all the control weights feel. The steering is surprisingly light and easy to manage, but still has good weight and confidence to it - I really like it. It’s ‘just so’, if you know what I mean.
The 85 model comes with 282 bhp, which is more than enough for everyday driving. It’s got plenty of shove when you need it, too. It’ll do 6.7 seconds 0-62mph, which feels almost a bit incongruous for such a big SUV, so I reckon the more modest models will be absolutely fine. That said, it still feels more composed than crazy, more business class than boy racer.
Or, if 6.7 seconds doesn’t sound like enough, there’s the all-wheel-drive vRS version with 335 bhp and a 0-62 mph time of 5.5 seconds. That is seriously rapid for a large family SUV.
As for comfort? Blimey, the Enyaq is so good for comfort! In fact, when we first set off, my cameraman Ed was in the back assembling the camera gear and I was effectively his chauffeur. And you know what? This car felt right for that role. Plush. Regal. Like I should have had a cap and white gloves on.
That ride quality is this car’s secret weapon. It soaks up bumps like a luxury limo. Refinement is great, too; wind noise is brilliantly well suppressed, not too much road noise. It’s just great.
Running Costs and Pricing
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, the entry-level 63kWh SE L costs £39,000, but the mid-spec 82kWh Skoda Enyaq Edition that we reckon is a bit of a sweet spot comes in at £44,300. The top-spec, AWD Enyaq Sportline comes in at £48,750. That's all very competitive with rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 5, VW ID.4 and Ford Explorer, and you can also get 0% interest finance deals already, which is great news. For the space, comfort and equipment, the new Skoda Enyaq seems better value than ever.
2025 Skoda Enyaq - Verdict
So, there we have it - the facelifted Skoda Enyaq. I don’t know about you, but I think Skoda has done a great job here. It’s not always easy applying a new look 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. If comfort, refinement, and ease of use are at the top of your wish list, this car delivers in spades. Check it out for yourself! Click here to book a test drive at your nearest Skoda retailer.
