Skoda Enyaq Review & Prices

The Skoda Enyaq is pretty much like all other modern Skodas — it’s more stylish and handsome than you might expect, big, practical, and comfortable inside. It’s not very exciting, however. Think of it like shopping online rather than submitting to the hustle and bustle of going into town; it’s the safe, sensible option (but you miss out on the street food).

Then again, if you’re shopping for a solid and reliable family car, with the benefit of low-cost, no-emissions electric running, then there’s a lot to recommend about the Enyaq. It offers consistently affordable prices through Carwow Leasey and overall offers such tremendous value that it won the Smart Spender category of the 2026 Carwow Car of the Year Awards.

This isn’t the only electric family SUV you might want to consider, though, with the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, and Renault Scenic E-Tech all very much in the Skoda’s ballpark.

It’s a handsome thing, the Enyaq. The recently added ‘Tech Deck’ face (which replaced the older look, with its big grille) makes the Enyaq easy to confuse with the smaller Elroq from the front, but it’s much chunkier and bigger when you look down the sides.

It’s bigger than the Elroq inside as well, with a big swoopy dashboard featuring a large 13.0-inch infotainment touchscreen, and there’s some optional gorgeous saddle-brown leather which Skoda calls ‘Cognac. The tech is a bit fiddly — Skoda seems to be constantly trying to improve the way the big touchscreen works, and there aren’t enough physical buttons — but overall fit and finish is very good, and is almost enough to make you question the need to upgrade to the mechanically similar Audi Q4 e-tron.

There’s lots of space in the cabin, especially in the roomy back seats, and the Enyaq’s massive 585 litre boot dwarfs most other electric SUVs in the same price band with the exception of the Tesla Model Y and the new MG S6 EV (and the Skoda lacks the front-boot of those cars too).

As well as the infotainment updates, Skoda has been gently massaging its batteries to extract more and more range, so even the basic 59kWh battery in the entry-level Enyaq 60 model now offers up to 269 miles on one charge. The more popular choice is the bigger 77kWh battery though, with a more powerful 286hp rear-mounted electric motor, which offers up to 359 miles of range. You can go for four-wheel drive too — there’s an Enyaq 85x model which oddly has the same overall total of 286hp as the single-motor versions, or there’s the 240hp twin-motor vRS, which is the sporty option.

The Enyaq also charges up a little faster than before, with the vRS model capable of charging at up to 185kW on DC power, while the lesser versions can manage between 160kW and 175kW. That’s not exceptional — try the 250kW of a Tesla or Hyundai’s 350kW — but it’s enough that you shouldn’t have to kill too much time at a charging point.

With that 286hp, the Enyaq feels pretty muscular in its performance. It’s no Tesla Model Y in that respect, but it’s more than quick enough for most people, and actually the more powerful vRS model doesn’t feel like a massive step up from the standard Enyaq.

That said, it’s not the most fun thing to point down a twisty road, because the steering is light and there’s not a huge amount of grip from the tyres – the Ford Mustang Mach-e is a better bet for that.

The Enyaq is much better around town, where the suspension deals well with bumps in the road and the punchy motors make it easy to nip into gaps in traffic. Motorway driving is quiet and relaxing, too.

So, this isn’t a car to set your pulse racing, but if you want a car that does all the day-to-day family stuff well without a fuss, it’s an excellent option. The increased range of the latest models only adds to the appeal. Oddly, neither — standard nor vRS — is what you’d call fun to drive. The Enyaq feels solid and stable on the road, but it’s not a driver’s machine.

The Enyaq is better around town, where its ride comfort over bumps is exceptionally good, and the accurate steering and fast motor response make nipping into gaps pretty easy. It’s a truly relaxing car to drive on the motorway too, and still holds on to decent range at higher speeds.

Verdict

The Enyaq isn’t a car that’ll have you on the phone to your cardiologist, worrying about an elevated heart rate (not even, sadly, the supposedly sporty vRS). But it is a hugely sensible family-friendly EV SUV, with lots of space, excellent quality, solid range, and (mostly) affordable pricing.

The Skoda Enyaq is pretty well-priced, if not bargain basement. There’s little price gap between the Enyaq and its biggest competition, the Hyundai Ioniq 5, but it’s worth noting that the new Kia EV5 is actually slightly better priced and offers more range in its cheapest form.

The mechanically similar Volkswagen ID4 is also cheaper than the Skoda, although the Enyaq is better equipped as standard. The Tesla Model Y is more in its entry-level guise, although again it offers more range than the cheapest Skoda. Beware the options list, too – some of the packs are pretty pricey, and you can’t always have certain items as individual options.

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, and only the entry-level version goes without 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 mean even bulky rearward-facing child seats are easy to fit, while a flat floor helps carry three comfortably in the back. It’s just a shame that you have to pay extra for USB charging so rear-seat passengers can keep their phones topped up.

Boot space

The boot in the Skoda Enyaq is massive, with a capacity of 585 litres. Still some way down on the Tesla Model Y, though, which has a total of 971 litres if you include the ‘frunk’, making use of the space under the bonnet for extra storage, which the Enyaq doesn’t have.

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 vRS.

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.

There are two battery options with the Skoda Enyaq. The 60 has a 59kWh battery and can go up to 269 miles in the entry-level trim. Step up to the 85 and you get a bigger 77kWh battery that can go up to 359 miles on a charge. There's also a four-wheel drive version, called 85x, though you lose some range with a quoted of 334 miles.

Some models of the Enyaq do qualify for the Government’s £1,500 EV car grant, and there are tax breaks to make owning one more appealing. You’ll only pay £10 for your first year of vehicle excise duty road tax, but electric cars can no longer avoid the standard rate of tax in years two-to-six.

If you are thinking of the Enyaq as a company car, the tax breaks are rather more generous.

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 biggest issue we’ve heard of with the Enyaq is the glitchy infotainment system, but otherwise, it should be hassle-free. If you do have a problem, the car comes with a three-year, 60,000-mile warranty. The battery is covered for eight years and 100,000 miles.

Skoda finished 20th out of 31 car brands in the 2026 Driver Power owner satisfaction survey, which is a shame given its legacy for building dependable cars.
