Škoda Shock! | New Enyaq is here, but is it still worth considering?| Electrifying

#skodaenyaq #skodaelectric #electriccars

If you're a regular follower of this channel or if you've listened to our weekly Kilowatt Half Hour podcast, you'll understand that there's one electric car that has actually ended up being the benchmark for quality, comfort and general excellence. It's not a Tesla, a BMW and even a Kia. It's … the Škoda .

And this right here is the facelifted variation that's about to go on sale at a Škoda dealership near you. The lovely people at Škoda invited us out to Prague to have a jolly excellent look around it. And choose if it's still going to be an electrifying.com favourite?

We're not the only ones who love the . It was the UK's very popular EV in October last year and Škoda has actually moved more than a quarter of a countless them across Europe considering that its launch. It is, at the time of recording, Europe's 4th very popular electrical cars and truck. Which can't all be down to Ginny constantly banging on about it.

Although this is officially called the Enyaq facelift, it's been an update of two halves, actually. This refresh generally concentrates on design and set, since all the crucial bits beneath were altered in 2015.

Škoda didn't make a song and dance about it at the time, however the changes were actually pretty significant – particularly to the huge battery 77kWh design, which is the one we buy most of in the UK.

When it was introduced, the standard Enyaq generated 201bhp and 310Nm torque. Last year, Škoda silently bumped that as much as 282bhp and 545Nm of torque. The change took nearly two seconds off the 0-62mph time and made the Enyaq a lot more enjoyable to drive.

Due to the fact that it was such a big upgrade, Škoda hasn't changed anything in the battery and motor departments for . Like before, you can choose in between the entry-level Enyaq 60 that comes with a 59kWh battery pack, and an Enyaq 85 which has a 77kWh pack. Oh, and you'll also be able to choose between SUV and Coupe body designs.

The only thing that has actually changed are the charging speeds. The Enyaq 60 can now fast charge at speeds of up to 165kW, while the Enyaq 85 peaks at 175kW. That implies that you'll have the ability to bag a 10-80% charge in under 30 minutes on both designs.

    Nice switches, black but not piano black. Nice looking car, inside and out. Wish more brands put as much effort into the little bits and pieces that are really useful.

    The interior on the car shown on the Review is very impressive.

    The car looks better than the first generation, where the front was a bit controversial. This design is nicer to look at. It’s just a shame that VW won’t let Skoda use the largest 91kWh(86 usable) battery for MEB platform cars, which is in the ID7 Pro S.

      I understand it would raise the price but it would be a nice option.

      I think this is more because the id7 has a longer platform and can fit an extra row of cells in.

      @@silverdragonslair That’s a real possibility, but it would also mean VW has made no progress and is getting behind with the MEB on the battery pack. If cars with similar wheelbase to the Enyaq from others can have bigger batteries. For example: Renault Scenic E-Tech 87kWh usable or Peugeot e-3008 96kWh usable.

    The new Enyaq 60 looks like a really good deal… 446km range (coupe) and 10-80% in 24 minutes. That’s plenty enough for anyone! If the price just ends up being good, then it should be a really big seller!

    Fab looking car and love the colour. I can’t believe how much better this is than the other VAG models – for me the best looking car on the MEB platform by a significant margin.

    Since its price is nearly identical to that of the Model Y, the lack of a heat pump leaves it at a significant disadvantage in competing with the Model Y in Nordic countries.

      At leasat in sweden skoda has offered it with heat pump as standard when I looked last time. Can’t look right now as all the outgoing cars are the bigger 85, all including heatpump

    We rented a Skoda Enyaq to drive around France, Belgium and Germany in Dec 2022. It was lovely. It wasn’t the sportiest EV I’ve ever driven, but it was exceptionally practical and we had no complaints in the 3 weeks we drove it.

      The updated power trains are considerably faster, I have 2024 one and the acceleration is crazy

    Awesome review. Electrifying is always informative and fun to watch. Slap a VW badge on this, build it in Chattanooga,TN and sell it in the US. The ID.4 is a snooze fest to look at. Thank goodness the Enyaq doesn’t have piano black and capacitive buttons.

    Great video! The only thing missing is that you also convert the estimated range to km. That way, all viewers can easily get an idea of the range. This is something I’ve really missed in all your videos. Thanks!

    This redesign, along with the recent tech and revised software upgrades, makes me feel like I could now consider an 85 LR spec, whereas I probably wouldn’t have done with the mk1!
