Škoda has given its all-electric Enyaq SUV a mid-lift facelift, which includes more powerful powertrains with a longer battery range, as well as a refreshed exterior design.
Sporting similar front-end styling to that of the brand’s new Epiq and Elroq electric crossovers, the revised Enyaq has been given the marque’s new ‘Tech-Deck’ front fascia with a slimmer front grille and LED headlights, as well as a revised bumper design with new light units below the headlights.
Like Skoda’s other upcoming models, a Skoda wordmark replaces the brand’s winged arrow logo at the end of the bonnet. The same lettering appears across the car’s boot lid in the rear. The manufacturer says that the car’s altered face makes it more aerodynamic, which should provide a small boost to battery efficiency.
The powertrain line-up has seen some changes too. The lead-in 52kWh 168hp ’50’ variant has been removed from the range, with the 59kWh 204hp ’60’, which was axed last year, returning in its place.
Thie ’60’ can muster up to 268 miles of travel on a single charge, and can complete a 0-62mph sprint in 8.1 seconds. Using a rapid charging station that can handle speeds of up to 160kW, it can be charged from 10% to 80% battery in 24 minutes.
The the rear-wheel drive ’85’ and four-wheel drive ’85x’ still feature in the line-up, both with the same output of 286hp. The ’85’ provides the longest battery range of any Enyaq version, able to travel up to 359 miles between charges, while the ’85x’ has a reported range of 332 miles.
Both complete a 0-62mph run in 6.7 seconds – with a top speed of 111mph – and both can be charged at up to 175kW, recharging from 10% to 80% battery in 28 minutes.
Stepping inside, the Enyaq has been given a new steering wheel adorned with the Skoda lettering, which is now heated as standard, as well as a 13-inch infotainment screen that juts out of the dashboard. The standard spec also now includes three-zone climate control tech and heated front seats.
That sums up what we know about the facelifted Skoda Enyaq so far. UK pricing is yet to be announced, but the updated model’s pricing shouldn’t be much more than the current Enyaq pricing, which was reduced to just under £37k in July. We should learn more in the coming weeks, as the first deliveries of the updated Enyaq are scheduled to arrive in May.
The highest ranking Skoda in our Expert Rating Index, the Enyaq currently holds a New Car Expert Rating of A, with a score of 83%.
