Skoda Enyaq to get major upgrade in 2024

Published on 31 October, 2023

 Technical upgrades to increase range and power

Overview

Škoda's all-electric Enyaq line is getting a significant upgrade next year. This update includes some slight visual changes in line with Škoda's new brand identity along with new logos and lettering. Production of the new models starts in November, with vehicles hitting showrooms in early 2024.

Changes will not be just visual however, with the SUV and Coupé versions also receiving technical upgrades to increase range and power output. With new rear axle electric motors and improved battery management, the Enyaq will have a longer range and faster charging, offering an improved driving experience. To reflect these changes, the Enyaq 80 and Enyaq 80x will now be called the Enyaq 85 and Enyaq 85x.

The Enyaq 85 can travel up to 565 kilometers on a single charge and charge from 10% to 80% in just 28 minutes. The Coupe version now has a range of up to 576 kilometers. The electric motor on the rear axle of the Enyaq has increased its output to 210 kW, improving acceleration to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds.

The all-wheel drive Enyaq 85x also boasts an output of 210 kW and can reach 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds, with a range of up to 538 kilometers on a single charge.

The Enyaq RS, like the 85x, has optimized battery cell chemistry, improved thermal management, and higher charging power. It now offers 250 kW of power, accelerating to 100 km/h in just 5.5 seconds and providing a range of 541 kilometers (547 kilometers in the Coupe variant).

The Enyaq's infotainment system, including a new software update 4.0 with a redesigned user interface and new brand identity, is improved from the Enyaq 85 version. The virtual instrument panel and head-up display also receive new graphics.

Commenting on the new 2024 Enyaq model line-up Ray Leddy, Head of Marketing and Product said: "Since launch, the Enyaq has been a huge success for the brand in Ireland. The good news for customers in 2024 is that long lead times have been reduced significantly, and customer order times are now more reflective of other models in the Škoda range. Even better for customers is the fact that the pricing for the new more powerful and efficient Enyaq 85, 85x and RS models will not increase compared to original January pricing of 2023 model versions. I would urge customers to avoid delays and check out our stock locator on www.skoda.ie to avail of the very best Enyaq pricing and offers”
