Skoda Australia will introduce the Enyaq battery electric vehicle (BEV) to Australia in July 2024.
The range will include the Enyaq 85 (formerly the 80) and be topped by the latest Enyaq RS – the most powerful vehicle ever offered from the VW-owned, Czech brand.
The upgraded Enyaq RS debuts in Europe in both five-door SUV and SUV Coupe body styles with the 82kWh battery, dual-motor, all-wheel-drive set-up delivering 250kW, a driving range of 547km (WLTP) and a 0-100km/h sprint time of 5.5 seconds.
The Enyaq 85 brings 210kW of power, with up to 576km of driving range (WLTP) on a single charge, rear-wheel drive and a 0-100km/h time of 6.7sec.
Skoda says the upgraded Enyaq boasts more advanced electric motors, batteries and thermal management – such as the ability to pre-heat the battery – and deliver an increased charging speed and better overall driving experience. Charging for both models offers a peak capacity of up to 175kW, allowing a recharge time
from 10 to 80 per cent to 28 minutes.
Skoda adds that the Enyaq for Australia will also include software version 4.0 that brings a completely redesigned user interface with a more intuitive design that makes it easier to control the car’s functions. The virtual instrument panel and head-up display also receive new graphics, and the voice assistant is improved.
