Skoda Enyaq Review 2026: Prices, specs & verdict

What is the Skoda Enyaq?

The electric Enyaq SUV is one of Skoda’s best-selling cars. Over 300,000 have been sold since it first went on sale in 2021, which makes the Enyaq rather important in the world of family cars.

Using the same platform as the Audi Q4 e-tron and Volkswagen ID.4, the Enyaq has a proven mechanical backbone. It also has universal appeal, thanks to its wide choice of powertrains and trim levels that include the sporty vRS model.

The Skoda Enyaq received a significant mid-life update in 2025, with a sleeker appearance and higher levels of standard equipment. However, with the Renault Scenic, Volvo EX40 and Kia EV5 all vying for the number one spot, the Enyaq needs to be at the top of its game to compete with the best in class.

Should you choose the Skoda Enyaq as your next electric family car? Read our in-depth review to find out.

Verdict: is the Skoda Enyaq a good car?

Designed for the hustle and bustle of family life, the Skoda Enyaq is a versatile electric SUV that offers decent comfort and practicality. It provides strong value too, with a good range between charges. Some rivals have better interiors and sharper handling, but the Enyaq is a good all-rounder. We rate the 80 model as the best in the line-up.

Pricing, specs & rivals

After electric car grant deductions. you’ll pay £38,020 to get the entry-level Enyaq 60 with the 62kWh battery and £40,560 for the Enyaq 80 with the bigger 82kWh battery.

That’s competitive against the Kia EV5, Renault Scenic and Vauxhall Grandland. But the Enyaq but can’t match the Ford Explorer on price, which is available for under £34,000 with the EV car grant.

The Enyaq line-up starts with SE L trim, which gets a reasonable amount of equipment as standard with 19in wheels, LED lighting, heated front seats and a 13in touchscreen infotainment system. You also get all-round parking sensors, a rear-view camera and wireless charging for your phone.

The Enyaq 60 in Edition trim starts at £39,120, while the 80 version is £44,755. Edition spec adds upgraded LED headlights with automatic range control, animated rear LED indicators, electronic front seats with memory and massage functions, plus blinds for the rear windows.

Sportline spec is only available with the Enyaq 80. It pushes the prices up to £47,705 and includes 20in wheels, sports suspension, Sportline bumpers with gloss black lettering and sports seats. You also get a head-up driver’s display, aluminium pedals and a Canton sound system.

The all-wheel drive Enyaq 80x is only available in Sportline trim and starts at £49,205.

The range-topping vRS takes the Enyaq to the max on performance. It gets more power, four-wheel drive and the highest level of standard equipment. You’ll need to part with £52,405 to get behind the wheel of one.

The hot hatch inspired Enyaq vRS features sporty bodystyling, leather sports seats with heating and massage functions. You also get adaptive suspension that allows you to electronically adjust the ride and handling characteristics.

Rivals

The Skoda Enyaq competes with many high accomplished electric family SUVs, which includes the excellent Renault Scenic and impressive Kia EV5.

You may also want to consider the Vauxhall Grandland Electric, Ford Explorer, Toyota bZ4X Touring, Peugeot e-3008 and Volkswagen ID.4.

Skoda Enyaq Interior comfort, quality & technology

If you are looking for a comfortable and spacious electric family SUV, the Skoda Enyaq is unlikely to disappoint. The fit and finish of the cabin is good with lots of high quality and soft-touch materials. It doesn’t quite match the excellent Renault Scenic, but it’s better than both the ID.4 and Ford Explorer.

The layout of the cabin is fairly minimalist; we’d prefer more physical buttons and dials as too many of the important in-car functions are operated via the 13in touchscreen. This means the screen needs to be prodded a few times to access the heating or ventilation controls.

The simple design is only interrupted by a small row of buttons below the screen to access the drive modes, driver assist functions and de-misting the windscreen.

There are lots of buttons and controls on the steering wheel, which streamlines some in-car functions – such as changing a radio station, skipping a music track or adjusting the audio volume.

The driving position is excellent, thanks to the elevated seating position that provides a good view of the road; however, the side pillars are on the thick side which means you need to peer around them to spot oncoming cars when navigating a roundabout or junction.

You do get parking sensors and a rear-view camera as standard on all versions of the Enyaq, which means guiding the car into a narrow space is a simple task.

All versions of the Enyaq get supportive and comfortable seats too, with a good range of adjustment that includes lumbar support.

We’d recommend getting the Edition model or better as this includes electric front seats with a memory function – handy if you share your car with a family member or partner.

Infotainment, sat-nav, stereo and connectivity

The quality of the tech in the Enyaq is decent for the price you pay, but the 5in digital driver’s display looks very small and feels dated compared to key rivals.

All versions of the Enyaq get a 13in infotainment screen, that’s mounted high up on the dashboard. It’s easy enough to read, with quick screen changes and lots of large icons that are easy to prod with a finger when on the move.

Built-in navigation is fitted as standard too, you also get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto connectivity that lets you mirror your mobile phone’s display and access its apps on the 13in screen.

A wireless charging pad is located on the centre console, allowing you to charge your phone without worrying about plugging it in. You also get two USB-C ports in the front and two more in the rear for charging tablets, phones or other mobile devices.

How practical is the Skoda Enyaq

The Skoda Enyaq is 1,879mm wide (not including mirrors) and 4,558mm long. This makes it 88mm shorter than the Renault Scenic and 52mm smaller than the Kia EV5.

Despite its compact dimensions, there is no shortage of passenger or storage space. This makes the Enyaq a good option for families with tall teenagers who need lots of head and legroom.  

There is lots of space in the front too, with generous amounts of head and shoulder space, which means you won’t brush elbows with the driver.

The rear seats can’t be reclined or slid forwards/backwards, but you do get a flat rear floor to ensure your third passenger in the middle rear seat can travel with a reasonable amount of legroom.

The rear doors have a wide opening, with two Isofix anchor points on the outer rear seats. The high door frame makes it easy to lift a bulky child seat in/out of the car without catching the seat on the bodywork.

Storage and boot space

In our opinion, Skoda is one of the best carmakers when it comes to boot space and storage. The Enyaq is no exception, its 585-litre boot is one of the largest in the mid-size electric family car class.

The Enyaq’s boot is larger than the EV5, Scenic, Grandland and Explorer. The square shape also makes it easy to use all of the load space available, especially when it comes to fitting suitcases and a child's buggy.

You can pay extra to add cargo nets and an adjustable boot floor, with the latter fitted as standard on Sportline and vRS models.

The cabin gets lots of smart storage points. For example, the large door pockets have a felt lining, which prevent things from rattling around. The centre console also has two large cup holders, along with a compartment for loose change and a huge tray.

Our only criticism is the small glovebox and the fact the rear seats have a 60/40 split - the Scenic has a 40/20/40 spilt that makes it easier to carry bulky items and people at the same time.

Performance & drive: What is the Skoda Enyaq like on the road?

The Skoda Enyaq range starts with the 60 model which develops 190hp and covers 0-62mph in 8.3 seconds. The 80 variant gets more power (286hp), which lowers the sprint to 62mph to 6.4 seconds.

Both the 60 and 80 versions of the Enyaq use rear-wheel drive but Skoda offers an all-wheel drive model with the 85x getting an additional front motor and 199hp.

If you want your Enyaq with more performance, you’ll want the vRS version with 340hp and a 0-62mph of 5.2 seconds. This model also gets all-wheel drive, sports suspension and dynamic chassis control.

In our opinion, the Enyaq 80 is the best all-rounder. Performance is swift but smooth, which means power delivery is refined and predictable in all weather conditions. The brake pedal is also nicely weighted, which makes it easy to judge the level of force you need to adjust your speed.

The Enyaq 60 is generally fine, its 190hp is sufficient for everyday use, but it does feel slower than its 0-62mph time suggests. This means you need to work the electric motor hard when climbing to motorway speeds.

Power, 0-62mph times 

• Skoda Enyaq: 60 / 8.3 seconds
• Skoda Enyaq: 80 / 6.4 seconds
• Skoda Enyaq: 80x / 6.1 seconds
• Skoda Enyaq: vRS / 5.2 seconds

Ride and handling

For the main versions of the Enyaq, comfort and refinement are impressive across the board. The steering has a natural feel with good levels of weighting, while the suspension copes with most lumps and bumps in the road.

Dynamic chassis control is available as an optional extra as part of the Maxx Package, but we don’t think the 60 or 80 need it. For the best ride comfort, we’d recommend sticking with 19in wheels too, which are standard on SE L and Edition trims.

Things become a little bumpier over potholes and rough road surfaces on Sportline and vRS spec, but the handling is notably better with more grip, steering feel and feedback through the pedals.

No matter which spec you choose, the Enyaq is excellent on the motorway with a rooted feel that even heavy crosswinds struggle to disrupt.

Noise and refinement

The Enyaq is smooth, quiet and refined at motorway speeds. We’d argue the Scenic is smoother over rough roads at lower speeds, but Skoda’s electric family SUV does a good enough job of isolating its occupants from road and wind noise.

Things become a little less hushed as you increase the wheel sizes, but even on the largest 21in tyres the Enyaq is more refined than the ID.4 and Ford Explorer.

Euro NCAP: is the Skoda Enyaq a safe car?

The Skoda Enyaq received a maximum five-star Euro NCAP rating when it was tested in 2025. Adult protection was rated at an impressive 90% while child occupant safety was rated at 87%.

In addition to its good protection rating, the Enyaq gets lots of safety tech fitted as standard. This includes an emergency system that stops the car at a junction if it thinks you are going to turn into the direction of oncoming traffic.

The door mirrors also get blind spot motoring while front and rear parking sensors are fitted as standard on all versions of the Enyaq, along with a rear-view camera.   

Charging, range and running costs

Most drivers will choose the Skoda Enyaq with either the 63kWh or 82kWh battery, offering a maximum range of 282 and 373 miles respectively.

For us, the 82kWh version is the best by far. It gives the Enyaq excellent range for the price you pay, although the maximum range drops to 368 miles if you specify the 20in wheels due to the increased rolling resistance.

Both the 85x and vRS use a dual motor for the all-wheel drive system which cuts the official range to a respective 357 and 347 miles.

Unlike some of its rivals, the Enyaq doesn’t get a heat pump fitted as standard, which means you’ll need to spend an extra £1,100 if you want to improve its efficiency in the colder weather.

Range on a charge (WLTP figures)

• Skoda Enyaq 60: 282 miles
• Skoda Enyaq 80: 373 miles
• Skoda Enyaq 85x: 357 miles
• Skoda Enyaq vRS: 347 miles

The Enyaq 60 has a maximum charging rate of 165kW which means it can charge to 80% in 26 minutes from a DC charger.

The 80 has a maximum rate of 135kW while the 85x charges at 170kW, both take 29 minutes to charge from 10-80% at a DC unit.

A full charge for the Enyaq 60 takes 10 hours while all other versions require 13 hours when plugged into a 7kW wallbox.

The Enyaq’s fast charging is better than both the Renault Scenic and Kia EV5, but broadly the same as the Toyota bZ4X Touring.

Charging speeds

• 7kW: 10-13 hrs (depending on trim)
• 11kW: 8 hr 15 mins
• 150kW DC (10 to 80% charge): 26-29 mins

How much does the Skoda Enyaq cost to insure?

The Skoda Enyaq insurance grouping is similar to the Renault Scenic with the 60 version starting in insurance group 25 while the 80 raises this to 32. The all-wheel drive 85x version begins in group 34 while the hot hatch rivalling Enyaq vRS is more expensive to insure in group 37.
