New Skoda Enyaq breaks cover with sharper looks, longer range and steeper pricing

• Mid-life update for Skoda Enyaq electric SUV
• New ‘Modern Solid’ styling inspired by Elroq
• Prices start from £39,000

After five years and over a quarter of a million sales, the Skoda Enyaq has received its first major update. It’s been given an all-new face, along with a gentle bump in range, to bring it up to date in an ever-growing landscape of electric SUVs. With those updates comes an increase in price, too, with prices now starting from £39,000 in the UK.

The Enyaq has been nothing short of a huge hit for Skoda. Its combination of space, range and affordability has won over vast numbers of EV buyers on our shores, which goes some way to explain why Skoda hasn’t tinkered too much with the Enyaq formula for this update. Things are largely the same under the skin, but let’s start with what’s new…

What’s new for the 2025 Skoda Enyaq?

The biggest change for the 2025 Skoda Enyaq is its looks. Stand it side by side with the outgoing model, and the new Enyaq wears completely different front-end styling. Skoda calls it the ‘Tech Deck’ face, which made its debut last year on the new Elroq SUV.

Most notably, the big faux grille is gone, pushing the Elroq visually closer to the electric Elroq instead of its petrol-powered models, like the Octavia, Superb and Kodiaq. It sports a slim, black mask that runs the width of the nose, housing the LED running lights, while the main headlight units sit separately below. You’ll also spot that the traditional bonnet badge has been replaced by ‘Skoda’ lettering, too.

While it’s all change up front, Skoda hasn’t deemed it necessary to fiddle around with the rest of the Enyaq. Both the regular Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe are unchanged from the side and the rear, beside a new grey colour for the lower bumpers and sills of the SUV. There are new alloy wheels to choose from, though, ranging from 19 to 21 inches.

That new front-end styling isn’t just for show – it’s there to improve the Enyaq’s aerodynamics, helping it to cut through the air more efficiently. Range has seen a handy boost as a result, without any changes to the battery or motors under the metalwork. 

What’s the range of the new Enyaq?

It’s a nice improvement here for the new Enyaq, no matter which model you pick. You have the choice of ‘60’ or ‘85’ battery options – the smallest ‘50’ battery has been axed – with capacities of 59kWh and 77kWh, respectively.

The entry-level Enyaq 60 will manage up to 268 miles on a charge, which represents a handy 19-mile improvement. Upgrading to the 85 battery sees this figure jump to 359 miles in the Enyaq SUV, or 365 miles in the sleeker Enyaq Coupe – both up by about 12 miles over the outgoing car.

Like before, a four-wheel drive Enyaq 85x model will be available, featuring an extra electric motor to power the front wheels. It’s rated for up to 332 miles of range (334 for the Enyaq Coupe), which is only marginally higher than before.

Anything else that’s new?

That’s about it for the new Enyaq. Charging speeds are a bit quicker than before, with both batteries now taking under 28 minutes to go from 10 to 80% using a rapid charger, and there’s some new standard kit, including heated front seats, tri-zone climate control and keyless entry. You still have to pay extra to have an energy-saving heat pump fitted.

The interior is essentially carried over like-for-like from the outgoing car, so you still get the same five-inch digital driver’s display and a 13-inch infotainment touchscreen. There are some minor updates to the upholstery options, with a greater focus on sustainable materials, but the layout is unchanged.

As the electric motors powering the Enyaq have been carried over, performance figures are largely the same as before. We suspect the sporty Enyaq vRS is in line to receive the new updates, but Skoda hasn’t given away any details yet.

How much does the new Skoda Enyaq cost?

Prices for the new Skoda Enyaq start from exactly £39,000 before options. On paper, that’s a noticeable jump from the outgoing car’s £36,970 price tag, but it’s worth remembering that the outgoing car – badged 50 – had a smaller 50kWh battery compared to the new 60 model’s 59kWh unit. Importantly, that entry-level model still sneaks under the £40,000 luxury car VED threshold.

‘SE L’ trim is the entry point to the range and it’s only available with the 60 battery. ‘Edition’ models cost an extra £1,100, and you’ll have to throw in another £4,200 on top of that if you want the larger 85 battery. Then there’s the Enyaq ‘SportLine’, only available with the four-wheel drive 85x battery and motor configuration. This model costs from £48,750.

The Skoda Enyaq Coupe starts from £46,200 in Edition trim, increasing to £50,560 for the SportLine 85x version.

All models will be available to order from March 6th 2025, with the first deliveries scheduled for late spring.
