Updated Skoda Enyaq to add more range in 2024

Skoda’s all-electric Enyaq line-up will receive an upgrade early next year. It will be the first enhancing since the Enyaq was launched here in early 2021.

The upgrades will include what Skoda describes as minor styling changes have been made to remain consistent with the brand’s new visual identity, including new logos and lettering, while the iV designation will be discontinued.

Production of the 2024 models will begin in early November with vehicles arriving in showrooms in early 2024.

In addition to visual changes, the Enyaq and its Coupe stablemate will receive a range of technical upgrades. Thanks to new rear axle electric motors and improved battery management, Skoda says the Enyaq will have increased range capacity and improved overall charging speed while delivering an even better driving experience.

In order to reflect the new performance designation, the Enyaq 80 and Enyaq 80x will become the Enyaq 85 and Enyaq 85x.

The Enyaq 85 promises it can travel up to 565 kilometres on a single charge (WLTP cycle ). Meanwhile, the battery can charge from 10 to 80 per cent capacity in just 28 minutes. This upgrade also applies to the Coupé version, which now has a claimed range of up to 576 kilometres.

Skoda says that the dynamics of the Enyaq have also improved, with the electric motor on the rear axle now having a maximum output of up to 210 kW, compared with 150 kW in the original version. The Enyaq 85 can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds, two seconds faster than before.

The all-wheel drive version Enyaq 85x also has a new output of 210 kW, an increase of 15 kW. The new model can reach 100 km/h in 6.6 seconds and can travel up to 538 kilometres on a single charge, according to Skoda.

Like the 85x version, the Enyaq RS now boasts optimised battery cell chemistry with improved thermal management and the option of higher maximum charging power. The Enyaq RS also benefits from a power boost, with drivers now having 250 kW at their disposal.

The range has increased to 541 kilometres or 547 kilometres in the Coupé variant.

Changes to the car’s infotainment system also apply from the Enyaq 85 version. This involves a new software update 4.0, with redesigned user interface and new brand identity. Practically, it is said to be more intuitive and user friendly. The virtual instrument panel and head-up display also receive new graphics.
