Škoda Enyaq Coupe 85x

Overview

The 2025 Skoda Enyaq Coupe 85x is a seriously stylish electric SUV that blends a sleek, head-turning design with Skoda's trademark practicality. Launched in 2025, this all-wheel-drive variant hits the sweet spot for those wanting extra poke and all-weather grip. With a potent dual-motor setup, a generous 77 kWh usable battery, and a raft of tech, it’s a compelling family EV. In Europe, expect to see it priced from around €53,400 new, making it a strong contender. It's proudly built in the Czech Republic for the EU market.

What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the Enyaq lineup gets a proper pep-up, and the 85x trim is a key part of this refresh, effectively stepping in for older all-wheel-drive versions. The big news is under the skin: a more powerful and efficient rear motor, boosting overall performance to 210 kW. This means quicker sprints (0-100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds) and potentially even better real-world range. Skoda has also tweaked the battery pre-conditioning system, so you’ll be juicing up quicker at DC fast chargers, hitting up to 175 kW.

Design & Exterior

This ain't your grandad's Skoda! The Enyaq Coupe 85x flaunts a dramatically sloping roofline that screams 'look at me', especially with the optional illuminated 'Crystal Face' grille lighting up the night. Full LED Matrix headlights often come standard or are an easy tick on the options list, sharpening its gaze. It measures 4658 mm in length, 1879 mm in width (excluding mirrors), and stands 1621 mm tall. The 85x usually rolls on snazzy 19-inch or larger alloys, completing its athletic and sophisticated stance on the road.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the Enyaq Coupe 85x, and you're greeted by a cabin that feels both spacious and modern, with impressive material quality thanks to Skoda’s 'Design Selections'. Despite the coupe roof, there's ample room for its 5 occupants. Boot space is a very useful 570 litres, expanding to a cavernous 1610 litres with the rear seats folded flat – though there's no frunk. A large 13-inch central touchscreen running Skoda's latest infotainment, paired with a digital driver's display, keeps you connected with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Performance & Driving Experience

The Enyaq Coupe 85x packs a proper punch, thanks to its dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup. You get a combined 210 kW of power and a hefty 679 Nm of torque, rocketing this SUV from 0-100 km/h in a sprightly 6.7 seconds, topping out at 180 km/h. The front motor is an AC Induction Motor (IM) while the rear gets a Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor (PMSM), a combo that delivers instant shove. It’s not just quick; it’s also a smooth and composed cruiser, with confident handling and multiple regenerative braking modes.

Range, Battery & Charging

Under the floor, the Enyaq Coupe 85x houses a 77 kWh usable battery pack (82 kWh nominal). Green Cars Compare calculates a handy real-world range of around 474 km, with an efficiency of 6.16 km/kWh. For home charging, the standard 11 kW AC on-board charger will fill it up overnight. Out and about, it can guzzle electrons at up to 175 kW from a DC fast charger via its CCS Type 2 port, meaning a 10-80% top-up can be done in under 30 minutes. Battery pre-conditioning helps achieve these rapid speeds.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Safety is a top priority, and the Skoda Enyaq Coupe boasts an impressive 5-star Euro NCAP rating. The 85x trim comes loaded with essential kit like Front Assist with emergency braking, Lane Assist to keep you on the straight and narrow, and cruise control. For even more peace of mind, you can often spec advanced systems like Travel Assist for semi-autonomous driving, Side Assist (blind-spot monitoring), a 360-degree camera system, and intelligent Park Assist, usually bundled into neat option packages to keep you and yours safe.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Skoda typically offers a solid warranty package in Europe. Expect a basic vehicle warranty of 2 years with unlimited kilometres, often extendable for a fee, or some markets might offer up to 5 years/100,000-150,000km. The crucial high-voltage battery is generally covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first, with a guarantee against excessive degradation (usually 70% capacity). As an EV, maintenance is simpler than a combustion car, mainly focusing on tyres, brakes, and software updates, contributing to potentially lower running costs over its lifetime.
