What's New for 2025?

This shaves precious tenths off its acceleration time, making it even quicker off the line.

Design & Exterior

The Enyaq Coupe RS screams sporty intent with its sloping roofline and aggressive stance. Up front, the illuminated Crystal Face grille is often a signature RS touch, flanked by sharp Matrix LED headlights. Muscular haunches and large alloy wheels, typically 20 or 21-inch, fill the arches, while RS-specific bumpers and badging complete the look. It’s a sizeable machine, measuring 4660 mm in length, 1879 mm in width (excluding mirrors), and 1608 mm in height, ensuring it has serious road presence. It’s definitely a head-turner!

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Inside, the Enyaq Coupe RS treats its five occupants to a sporty yet premium cabin, often featuring sports seats with integrated headrests, plenty of Alcantara, and carbon-fibre-effect trim with contrasting stitching. While the sloping roofline looks ace, rear headroom is still decent. Tech-wise, a large central touchscreen (typically 13 inches) handles infotainment with standard Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, complemented by a digital driver’s display. Boot space is a generous 570 litres, expanding to a massive 1610 litres with the seats folded. Sadly, there's no frunk for your charging cables.

Performance & Driving Experience

This electric rocket will launch you from 0-100 km/h in a swift 5.5 seconds, thanks to its dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup pumping out a hefty 250 kW and 679 Nm of torque. The front gets an AC induction motor (IM), while the rear sports a permanent magnet synchronous motor (PMSM), delivering instant oomph. Expect a planted and engaging drive, especially with the RS-tuned suspension, though it remains comfortable for daily duties. Max speed is capped at 180 km/h. Multiple regenerative braking modes allow for efficient energy recovery.

Range, Battery & Charging

The Enyaq Coupe RS is powered by a 79 kWh usable battery pack, delivering a Green Cars Compare calculated real-world range of around 489 km – pretty solid for a performance EV. Energy consumption is rated at an efficient 6.19 km/kWh. For charging, its CCS Type 2 port supports AC charging up to 11 kW, meaning a full top-up takes around 7.5-8 hours overnight. When you’re on the go, DC fast charging maxes out at an impressive 185 kW, potentially juicing the battery from 10-80% in about 28 minutes.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Skoda doesn't skimp on safety, and the Enyaq range, including the Coupe RS, boasts a top-tier 5-star Euro NCAP rating. Standard kit usually includes Front Assist with pedestrian and cyclist detection, Lane Assist, and cruise control. For more advanced features, you'll often find packages offering Adaptive Cruise Control, Travel Assist (combining adaptive cruise and lane guidance), and Side Assist (blind-spot monitoring), with many of these systems standard on the top-spec RS trim, making this sporty SUV a safe bet for the family too.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

Crucially for an EV, the high-voltage battery in the Enyaq Coupe RS is covered for 8 years or 160,000 km, whichever comes first, usually guaranteeing at least 70% of its original capacity. Maintenance on EVs is generally lower than petrol cars, meaning less frequent servicing, typically focusing on brakes, tyres, and software checks. Reliability is generally strong for the MEB platform.
