What's New for 2025?

Design & Exterior

It’s a sizeable machine, measuring 4658 mm in length, 1879 mm in width (excluding mirrors), and 1623 mm in height. Sharp LED headlights come as standard, enhancing its modern look, while the optional "Crystal Face" – an illuminated grille – adds a serious touch of bling, especially at night. Expect smart alloy wheels to complete its premium, athletic posture on European roads.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the Enyaq Coupe 85, and you're greeted by a spacious, well-built cabin featuring Skoda's thoughtful "Design Selections" that offer various material finishes. It comfortably seats five, with surprisingly good headroom for rear passengers despite that coupe roof. Boot space is a very practical 570 litres, expanding to a cavernous 1610 litres when you fold the rear seats flat, though there's no frunk. Tech-wise, a crisp 13-inch central touchscreen and a digital driver display are standard, complete with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Performance & Driving Experience

The rear-wheel-drive Enyaq Coupe 85 is no slouch, thanks to its single Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor dishing out a healthy 210 kW and a robust 545 Nm of torque. This translates to a swift 0-100 km/h dash in just 6.7 seconds, with a top speed of 180 km/h. It’s a composed and comfortable cruiser, soaking up road imperfections well, but that new motor provides a satisfying punch when you ask for it. Adjustable regenerative braking, including a strong 'B' mode, allows for efficient driving and a near one-pedal experience.

Range, Battery & Charging

Under the floor, the Enyaq Coupe 85 houses a 77 kWh (usable) battery pack, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range of approximately 505 km, which is pretty solid. Its energy efficiency is rated at 6.56 km/kWh. For charging, it uses a CCS Type 2 port. At home or the office, the standard 11 kW on-board AC charger can replenish the battery in around 7-8 hours.

Powertrain components are covered under the main vehicle warranty.
