Facelifted 2025 Skoda Enyaq Evokes a Sharper Look and Expanded Capabilities
The 2025 Skoda Enyaq carries forward its role as an electric SUV from the Volkswagen Group MEB platform—much like its sibling, the Volkswagen ID.4—but arrives this time with a fresh face, extended driving range, and a suite of thoughtful technology updates. Notable for its reimagined front-end styling and improved efficiency, this updated model seeks to build on the success of the outgoing version, which has found a strong following in European markets.
More Assertive Front Styling
Compared with the previous Enyaq, the 2025 model’s front-end design has undergone a clear transformation, swapping out the older recessed grille elements for a glossy black “Tech-Deck Face.” This slimmer assembly creates a smoother transition from the nose to the hood, and integrates sensors—such as those for radar and cameras—behind a preserved sleek panel. A new LED Light Band spans the vehicle’s width and pairs with stacked headlights for a more pronounced four-eye layout at night. Together, these cues highlight Skoda’s emerging design language while improving aerodynamics.
Powertrain Choices and Charging Times
Skoda offers the 2025 Enyaq in three powertrain variants, driven by two different battery sizes. The entry-level Enyaq 60 features a 63-kWh lithium-ion pack plus a single electric motor tuned for 150 kW (approximately 201 hp) and 229 lb-ft of torque. Those looking for more muscle can step into the Enyaq 85 or the all-wheel-drive Enyaq 85x, both of which use a larger 82-kWh battery and an output that can climb to around 210 kW (about 282 hp) with up to 402 lb-ft of torque. The base version tops out at roughly 99 mph, while the higher-output models can reach about 112 mph.
Charging speeds are robust: fast-charging stations supply up to 165 kW for the smaller battery and up to 175 kW for the larger one. This means the 82-kWh pack can jump from 10% to 80% capacity in under half an hour. Household or public AC stations can still replenish at up to 11 kW if faster DC rigs aren’t nearby.
Boosted Driving Range
Skoda pursued aerodynamic refinements to eke out more miles on a single charge. The 2025 Enyaq sports a drag coefficient of approximately 0.245 (down from before), and the coupe version manages an even slipperier 0.225. These modifications, alongside the upgraded battery packs, allow the rear-drive Enyaq 85 to achieve an estimated 590-plus kilometers (about 366-plus miles) in WLTP testing—ample range for extended trips.
Interior Comfort and Sustainable Touches
Despite its streamlined exterior, the Enyaq remains spacious inside, thanks in part to the MEB architecture and a 2,766-mm wheelbase. The trunk swallows a generous 585 liters (SUV form) or slightly less in the coupe version, still more than enough for typical family outings. Up front, all 2025 Enyaq models now come standard with a heated steering wheel, while the latest cabin layout includes a 5-inch digital driver’s display and a 13-inch central infotainment touchscreen. A head-up display with augmented reality can be added if you spring for an upper package.
Eco-minded buyers will notice a conscious move toward more sustainable materials. Certain interiors feature upholstery with recycled yarn and environmentally tanned leather. New Design Selections—names like Lodge and Lounge—seat passengers on microfibers or synthetic leathers with contrasting accent colors. Further up the range, you may find climate-controlled front seats and other upscale trimmings, but each model emphasizes a minimalist, practical layout that’s easy to live with.
Tech-Savvy Convenience
In addition to the large infotainment display, the 2025 Skoda Enyaq receives a refreshed smartphone app experience. The MySkoda app now integrates charging services and predictive maintenance alerts, which can flag the battery or brake pads for inspection before issues crop up. Drivers who opt for advanced parking packages gain access to Remote Park Assist, letting them park the vehicle while standing alongside it using their phone, as well as “trained” memory parking for repeated maneuvers into tight spaces at home or work.
A revised keyless entry suite simplifies everyday use: approach the vehicle, and it unlocks automatically at close range; walk away, and it locks. Meanwhile, standard safety systems grow more comprehensive with additions like Side Assist, Rear Traffic Alert, and multiple driver aids that assist with lane-keeping, traffic jams, and sudden emergency avoidance.
A Range of Trim Levels and Configurations
Shoppers can pick between a conventional SUV body style and a sloping coupe roofline, including the popular Sportline grade with blacked-out trim and larger alloy wheels. Prices in select European markets start around €44,000, but the available equipment and optional packages can shift that figure significantly. While exact details for every market may vary, the overarching theme is that the 2025 Enyaq is designed to give a broad set of buyers the chance to tailor their electric vehicle the way they like it.
Where It Stands
With a bold new nose, a welcoming cabin heavy on technology, and the underpinnings shared with the well-known ID.4, the 2025 Skoda Enyaq positions itself as a compelling option in a rapidly growing EV field. Its range improvements, faster charging, and refined design should keep it competitive among peers, and continued attention to sustainability and driver assistance systems suggests Skoda is eager to hold onto its spot near the top of the electric SUV market.
