Skoda Enyaq SUV rivals
Overview
As successful as the Skoda Enyaq electric SUV has been for its maker, even netting the 2022 Parkers Car of the Year, 2025 brings another and more easily spotted update. Whereas the last tweak improved power and range, this one brings the looks into line with the smaller Elroq SUV, sprinkles on some new tech, and improves the infotainment system’s ease of use.
Don’t think the looks are just for show. Improved aerodynamics increases the driving range of all models despite battery capacity remaining the same. Rapid charging speeds are now usefully under 30 minutes for a 10-80% top-up on all models, and there’s more standard equipment, too.
The Enyaq remains a family-sized SUV shares a platform with the slightly shorter Volkswagen ID.4 but offers more space and keener pricing. The cars it’s up against include the bestselling Kia Niro EV, the Parkers award winning Renault Scenic, Nissan Ariya, Toyota bZ4x, and Tesla Model Y.
Given that it’s built for comfort rather than speed, you might come to the conclusion that it’s not good to drive – but you’d be wrong. Although the suspension is compliant, it steers precisely and grips strongly. While the Enyaq is not fast by EV standards, it is pleasingly quick in 85 guise.
Over the next few pages we’ll be thoroughly reviewing all aspects of the Skoda Enyaq iV and rating them in our verdict. Our scores will take into account the driving experience, how pleasant the interior is, the practicality on offer, what it was like to live with over six months, and how much it’ll cost you to run.
