    If you’re a regular follower of this channel or if you’ve listened to our weekly Kilowatt Half Hour podcast, you’ll know that there’s one electric car that has become the benchmark for quality, comfort and general excellence. It’s not a Tesla, a BMW or even a Kia. It’s… the Škoda Enyaq.
    And this right here is the facelifted version that’s about to go on sale at a Škoda dealer near you. The lovely people at Škoda invited us out to Prague to have a jolly good look around it. And decide if it’s still going to be an electrifying.com favourite?
    We’re not the only ones who love the Enyaq. It was the UK’s best-selling EV in October last year and Škoda has shifted more than a quarter of a million of them across Europe since its launch. It is, at the time of recording, Europe’s fourth best-selling electric car. And that 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, really. This refresh mainly focuses on design and kit, because all the important bits underneath were changed last year.
    Škoda didn’t make a song and dance about it at the time, but the changes were actually pretty significant - especially to the big battery 77kWh model, which is the one we buy most of in the UK.
    When it was launched, the standard Enyaq generated 201bhp and 310Nm torque. Last year, Škoda quietly bumped that up to 282bhp and 545Nm of torque. The change took nearly two seconds off the 0-62mph time and made the Enyaq a lot more fun to drive.
    Because it was such a big update, Škoda hasn’t changed anything in the battery and motor departments for 2025. Like before, you can choose 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 styles.
    The only thing that has changed are the charging speeds. The Enyaq 60 can now rapid charge at speeds of up to 165kW, while the Enyaq 85 peaks at 175kW. That means that you’ll be able to bag a 10-80% charge in under 30 minutes on both models.
    To discover more, join Nicki as she takes you through all the key updates for the 2025 model. Has Škoda improved the Enyaq or taken it in the wrong direction? Let us know in the comments below.

Just an observation, many of my friends enjoy your channel and it’s come up in conversation a few times. Are you targeting the UK market only or the rest of the market in Europe..? If so can you please provide the relevant information, range, acceleration etc in both metric and imperial measurements. As the UK is the only country still using the imperial system across Europe it can only help you reach a wider market. Great review again thanks 🙏

    Skoda has improved so much that this car is now best in class with an interior bordering on perfection. In hindsight I should not have bought a Tesla half a year ago and waited for this. Not only because I think this is overall a better car but also because a certain Elon went from being a bit eccentric to carrying out acts of evil in the meantime. I'll be the first to admit that I experience some moral hangover from having supported that with our hard earned money (even if I didn't realize how unscrupulous he had become at the time).

    Previous model already had software 5.0, this seems to be 5.4 the toolbar and battery preheating aren't new. What's new is you can make a shortcut to disable all the annoying European regulation beeps (which you might not have in the UK), also you don't need to click OK everytime you start the car. One thing I think should be mentioned is that alot of the features in the infotainment are subscription based, by default you get almost everything for 3 years, some things like trafication are only 1 year free. I don't mind because I use android auto but that doesn't autopreheat to chargers or knows my battery levels.

    I agree Skoda are making the best use of the underlying VW platform of all the brands which use it. It looks to be a bit expensive and does not suit any of the three use cases in our household.

      ​@@akubel33t ... which nicely illustrates why leaving out the heat pump is so crazy. Used ones with a heat pump are always snapped up immediately, often for £2k+ more than the going rate for a similar spec without the heat pump. The same happens with Ioniq 5s and EV6s. It's time lease companies recognised this and reduced the lease costs with a heat pump. That would wake distribution up to the folly of leaving them out.

    Not only Skoda, but many other EV's - notably Kia/Hyundai - seem to be evolving at a terrific rate. Shame Skoda ditched the flying chicken badge.... I've sat in the previous Enyaq, and the space and quality is right up there....Skoda's interior design is way nicer than VW's.... In a fairly recent Auto Express back to back test between the Golf 1.5 Tsi Match, and the Octavia 1.5 Tsi SE Technology, the Octavia came out ahead of the Golf. Autp Express rated the Octavia as a more spacious, higher quality car than the Golf..... It was also cheaper than the Golf.

    I have the 2024 L&K (Delivered December) - It's a very good EV, drives nice, nimble for it's weight, quiet even at speed, spacious interior and boot- I do like it a lot, but it's not perfect, here's my take-aways.
    Brakes at low speed (example parking) are horribly noisy and grabby, enough to make people stop and think you've crashed/scratched it against another car or wall.
    Self adjusting speed has a tendency to misread speed signs meaning the car thinks you've gone from a 60 to a 30 and brakes heavily to slow to the new speed, then when it realises it's a stil a 60mph limit will accelerate as quickly as it braked - fortunately, this hasn't happened with another car immediately behind me.
    Rear view mirror sits too low down the windscreen and I can't understand why there's no holder in the roof for sunglasses - I really miss this.
    I have to say that the storage space under the center console is a clever attempt, but in the real world is an utterly useless space, who uses it and what for? It's not easy to bend down/lean in and grab stuff from it. Implementing improvements for this would be 'simply clever'.
    Same goes for the layout of center console, there's an opportunity to increase the size of the armrest and the storage for more convenience, important given that UK models have the fuse bow to thank for glove box that is compromised in size and practicality.
    The phone holder angle is too steep, additionally plugging into the 2x USBC in that area is a faff and poorly positioned in relation to the phone itself.
    Those cup holders are adjustable, meaning you can resize either the driver or passenger side for the larger flasks/Cups.
    Full electric seat is fantastic - supportive and comfortable - the L&K misses a trick by not having an extendable seat end for those with longer legs and under seat storage trays.
    The boot is massive, but the rear seats lean into the space at a very steep angle, meaning for a labrador sized dog there's a compromise in room (not unique to skoda, but consider that the Ioniq 5 has the best solution with adjustable rear seats).
    Subwoofer from canton sound system ruins the under boot floor storage as does the not having the Variable boot floor fitted as standard to the highest spec model.
    I write this because (even on this new model) the center console, glove box appear to be exactly the same and I suspect the boot will be too and we have the same software version so expect more of that.
    Exterior of the 2025 model is very nice indeed, a bit Peugeot-like, but that's not a bad thing and I like the positioning of the grill and sensor suite.
