Following the delayed Australian launch of the 2025 Skoda Enyaq in September, the Czech brand has just revealed a new look for its popular mid-size SUV.
At the front the makeover looks pretty significant, but around the rear and inside, the Enyaq just gets a minor nip and tuck. There’s more driving range, though, thanks to improved aerodynamics.
The minor updates are aimed at keeping Skoda’s Enyaq, which sells strongly in its home market, competitive with the Ford Mustang Mach-E, incoming Tesla Model Y 'Juniper' update and raft of Chinese rivals such as the Xpeng G6, Deepal S05, BYD Sealion 7 and more.
Full Australian details for the 2025 Skoda Enyaq facelift are yet to be confirmed but it will arrive in the third quarter of 2025.
The Enyaq ditches Skoda’s winged arrow logo on its bonnet in favour of ‘SKODA’ lettering above the new ‘Tech-Deck’ face, tying it in with the smaller Elroq. The crystal glowing grille is gone and the lights are slimmer.
Skoda says the tidier visage improves aero efficiency, the coupe version Australia receives gets its drag coefficient dropped from 0.240Cd to 0.229Cd — just below the Model Y (0.230Cd).
As a result, the rear-drive coupe we get in Australia scores a range boost from 561km to 596km from the same 77kWh (useable) lithium-ion battery pack. Skoda is yet to reveal details about a facelifted RS flagship version.
Fast-charging occurs at up to 175kW (DC) giving the Enyaq a 28-minute 10 to 80 per cent recuperation.
The motor configuration continues, with the MEB platform supporting a 210kW/545Nm rear-only motor and AWD available in non-RS guise in Europe.
Elsewhere, Skoda has ditched the entry-level small 52kWh battery grade, replacing it with the mid-size ‘60’ configuration.
Inside, there’s a new two-and-a-bit spoke steering wheel, which is heated as standard. The multimedia system gets upgraded graphics but still plays through a 13.0-inch touchscreen. Heated seats and tri-zone climate control — already standard in Oz — are now included.
Pricing is yet to be confirmed overseas, but an increase is expected. In Australia, the Enyaq Sportline RWD costs $69,990 while the more powerful RS coupe is $83,990, both before on-road costs. Skoda will bring the new-look Enyaq to Australia in Q3 this year.
