Skoda Enyaq Review & Prices

The Skoda Enyaq is an electric family SUV that gets the important things just right. It’s spacious, comfortable and nice inside, with enough range to make longer trips straightforward - and it’s packed with family-friendly clever touches, too. It’s not much fun to drive, though, and the touchscreen controls make some simple jobs more complex than they need to be.

Think of the Enyaq like shopping online instead of heading into the weekend street market. You miss out on the food trucks and the chance to stumble across something interesting, but everything you actually need you get without much fuss. That’s very much the Enyaq’s approach to family motoring.

There’s plenty of competition for your driveway, including the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV5 and Renault Scenic E-Tech. The Tesla Model Y is a practical and long-ranged alternative, while the smaller Skoda Elroq is worth considering if you don’t need something quite so big.

The Enyaq is a handsome car, with a slim, glossy black panel across its nose. Skoda calls this the ‘Tech Deck’, and it gives it the same face as the smaller Elroq. Walk around the side and the Enyaq’s chunkier proportions become more obvious. The whole effect as smart rather than attention-seeking.

Inside, there’s a sweeping dashboard with attractive materials that make the Enyaq feel rather more upmarket than you might expect from a Skoda. The optional brown leather looks particularly good, and the overall finish is enough to make you question paying extra for an Audi Q4 e-tron. The large central screen looks impressive, too, though physical air-con controls would make it easier to use.

There’s loads of room front and back, so tall adults won’t feel short-changed no matter where they sit. Wide-opening rear doors make fitting a bulky child seat straightforward, while generous door bins and a deep centre console help contain the usual family clutter.

The Enyaq’s huge boot is another strength, and there’s a small compartment under the bonnet for items such as charging cables. One of the real draws of the Enyaq is the additional clever features - items like an umbrella concealed in the door, smartphone pockets on the seatbacks, an ice scraper built into the tailgate and even a funnel on the washer fluid tank to make filling it easier.

The entry-level Enyaq 60 offers a useful range for everyday journeys, but the rear-wheel drive 85 is the more appealing choice if you regularly travel long distances, with a range of up to 373 miles. There are also two four-wheel drive variants as well as the sporty vRS, though no Enyaq is much cop off-road.

All versions feel muscular enough that you’ll be comfortable joining faster traffic, and the car’s general vibe is neutrality rather than being entertaining. So there’s not much point spending more for extra performance.

It’s happier taking the strain out of everyday driving, with light steering and seriously comfortable suspension on a long drive. Only a bit of pitter-patter over rough surfaces in town spoils refinement.

Verdict

The Enyaq makes a convincing case as a family electric car, with a roomy cabin, generous boot and relaxed motorway manners. Its fiddly controls are a drawback and it’s no fun to drive on a country road, but neither of these traits spoils its everyday appeal. Choose carefully, though: the cheaper versions make more sense than an expensive, heavily optioned vRS.

The Skoda Enyaq starts at around £39,500, rising to roughly £52,500 for the vRS. Selected versions qualify for the £1,500 Electric Car Grant, bringing the cheapest model down to about £38,000 before any dealer discounts.

Before grants, that puts the Enyaq close to the Kia EV5 and below the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y. The Volkswagen ID4 starts for less, though, so the Skoda isn’t automatically the cheapest route into a roomy electric SUV.

SE L is well equipped, with heated front seats and steering wheel, wireless phone charging, three-zone climate control and an electric tailgate. It’s available with either the 60 or longer-range 85 powertrain; the latter starts at around £42,000.

Edition adds matrix LED headlights and an electric driver’s seat with massage. SportLine brings sportier styling, a head-up display, surround-view cameras and a Canton stereo, with rear- or four-wheel drive. The vRS adds stronger performance and adaptive suspension, but it’s a lot of money for an Enyaq.

Strong performance and comfortable at speed make the Enyaq great over long journeys, but it's not as much fun as a Tesla

In town 

Electric cars are generally at their best when driven around town, and so it is the case with the Skoda Enyaq. The motors are punchy, making light work of darting around, but the suspension is a bit jiggly over poor surfaces. Not unbearable, but not perfect.

The turning circle is tiny for a car of this size at just 9.3 metres (10.8m for all-wheel drive versions), and every car comes with front and rear parking sensors and a rear-view camera to help you squeeze it into spaces.

On the motorway

At higher speeds, the Enyaq becomes even smoother and proves a comfortable car to rack up big mileage in. Its cabin is eerily quiet, and there’s not much wind or road noise. You won’t have to raise your voice to make yourself heard, even if you are talking to someone in the back seats.

Acceleration is definitely more punchy if you choose the 85 or 85x over the 60, but the entry-level car is far from slow. If you do a lot of motorway miles, the 85’s bigger battery and longer range will appeal.

On a twisty road

This is a big and heavy car, and it’s hard to shake that feeling on a twisty road. It corners neatly and copes well, but doesn’t feel especially agile at higher speeds. If you want your Skoda to handle wintery conditions, consider the all-wheel drive 85x with its extra traction.

Lots of room with a large boot and a lot of space for passengers, but some practical features cost extra

It’s easy to get comfortable behind the wheel of the Skoda Enyaq. There’s a lot of head and legroom, so even very tall drivers will be fine. You get plenty of adjustment, too, so it’s easy to get close to the steering wheel with the seat set high enough for a good view out if you need to.

Every Enyaq comes with adjustable lumbar support. SE L has manually adjusted front seats, while Edition and above get an electrically adjustable driver’s seat.

There is a lot of storage around you. The door bins are huge and felt-lined to stop anything rattling around, plus extra space in the centre console and a sensibly-sized glovebox.

Space in the back seats 

Rear-seat passengers will be just as happy as those in the front. The huge cabin has lots of legroom and headroom, so a six-foot-tall passenger can travel behind an equally tall driver with room to spare.

Wide-opening doors and ISOFIX mounting points for the outer seats - plus one on the front passenger seat - mean even bulky rearward-facing child seats are easy to fit, while a flat floor helps carry three comfortably in the back. Rear USB-C charging ports are standard, so passengers can keep their phones topped up.

Boot space

The boot in the Skoda Enyaq is massive, with a capacity of 585 litres and a 21-litre 'frunk' ideal for cable storage. Still some way down on the Tesla Model Y, though, which has 854 and 117 litres respectively.

However, the Kia EV6 (490 litres), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (527 litres) and Volkswagen ID4 (543 litres) all lag behind.

With the rear seat down, there’s a slight step to the floor, but you can adjust the height of the boot floor, so long as you specify the optional Transport Package. This also includes levers on either side of the tailgate to fold the back seats down. There’s space under the floor to store the luggage cover when it’s not needed, so you won’t need to leave it behind.

Stylish and well designed make for an interesting cabin, but the most luxurious finishes add to the price

From the outside, the Enyaq is a bit ordinary. It’s not ugly, but nobody is going to walk into a lamppost when they pass one in the street, either.

Inside, it doesn’t follow Skoda’s usual interior design, in fact, it looks like nothing else the company makes.

To some eyes, the two-spoke steering wheel looks a bit like a clown’s face, but unless you find clowns creepy, it’s a smart design with proper buttons. It’s a three-spoke wheel if you go for the Sportline or vRS models.

Look through the wheel, and you’ll see a dinky instrument cluster. While the likes of Audi love to replace conventional dials with large screens that can be configured to show all sorts of info, Skoda has kept things simple and compact. You can still tweak the information the screen shows, and you quickly adapt to it.

All models get a 13.0-inch touchscreen display. That’s a serious size, and the screen is crisp and clear. However, it’s irritating that the aircon controls are on the screen rather than being kept separate, and the screen’s responses can be laggy. You can use voice commands through the Enyaq’s digital assistant, Laura, but in practice, it’s a bit hit and miss.

You can mirror your smartphone using Android Auto and Apple CarPlay, and there are USB-C ports to keep devices charged. Wireless charging is available on all but the most basic entry-level models.

The Enyaq 60 is the entry point to the range, while the 85 offers the longest distance between charges. The four-wheel-drive 85x and vRS sacrifice a little range for their extra traction and performance.

The 85 is the more useful choice for regular long journeys, although there’s little point paying for its bigger battery if most of your driving is local and you can charge at home.

The latest models take roughly half an hour for a 10–80% rapid charge in suitable conditions. That’s useful, although an Ioniq 5 or EV6 can spend less time plugged in when connected to a sufficiently powerful charger.

Selected Enyaqs qualify for the £1,500 Electric Car Grant. Company car drivers also benefit from a 4% benefit-in-kind rate in the 2026/27 tax year. First-year road tax is reasonable, but the vRS and some high-specced 85x versions do tip over the £50,000 threshold to pay the expensive car supplement in years two-six.

Skoda Enyaq Euro NCAP (2021): 5/5

Adult occupant: 94%
Child occupant: 89%
Vulnerable road users: 71%
Safety assist: 82%

The Skoda Enyaq scored five stars out of five from the Euro NCAP safety board, although the test has become stricter since its 2021 grading, which is worth keeping in mind if you’re comparing it with other cars. Every version gets front and side curtain airbags, though.

The latest infotainment system includes easy shortcuts to switch off some of the more irritating driver assistance systems, though the lane-keeping aids in particular are pretty unobtrusive so it won't be a scramble to turn these off at the start of every drive. Skoda's adaptive cruise control and lane-following is also very smooth and feels safe.

The Enyaq’s infotainment has been a source of frustration when we’ve tested it, with glitches and freezing fairly common issues, so it’s worth checking that any used example has the appropriate software updates.

Skoda finished 20th out of 30 manufacturers in the 2026 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey. That overall placing doesn’t tell the whole reliability story, though: it came eighth in the reliability category, with a score of 88.94%.

The standard warranty is shorter than Kia’s, Hyundai’s, or Tesla’s, and at three years and 60,000 miles it’s pretty much the bare minimum you can expect.
