Video Summary

Here is the requested summary of the YouTube video:
- The Škoda Enyaq was the UK's best-selling EV in October 2023 and has shifted more than a quarter of a million units across Europe since its launch.
- It is currently Europe's fourth best-selling electric car.
- Although the latest version is officially called the Enyaq Facelift, its important changes focus on design and kit because technical parts were updated last year.
- It features "Modern Solid" design, with Skoda's new signature look, a "Tech Deck Face," which hides sensors and radars for driving assistance systems.
- The previous flying turkey head logo has been replaced by the word Škoda.
- The front-end has aerodynamic improvements: the gap between the bumper and grille has been reduced, and the air curtains altered to improve airflow. As a result, it’s the most aerodynamically efficient car Skoda makes.
- Because of all of the design changes, the facelift allows for longer range on a full charge.
- The entry-level Enyaq 60 has a range of 268 miles on a single charge, while the Enyaq 85 gives a range of 365 miles, provisionally.
- The Enyaq 60 can rapid-charge at speeds of up to 165 kW, and the Enyaq 85 peaks at 175 kW, making a 10-80% charge possible in under 30 minutes on both models.
- It offers impressive quality and usability.
- There are various design selections (different styles) called Loft, Suit, Lounge and Lodge.
- The interior is extremely comfortable. The driving position is perfect, even for drivers varying in height. The seats offer plenty of lumbar support.
- There are two USB-C ports for fast charging for rear-seat passengers.
- The battery is now pre-conditioned before leaving the house, or when arriving for charging, to maximise charging rate efficiency.
- The 13-inch infotainment screen is perfectly placed, and there’s also a secondary 5-inch display for the driver. A head-up display is available as an option.
- The infotainment system is more responsive. The touchscreen includes shortcuts, such as a heated steering wheel, which is now standard on every car.
- For models with large batteries, horsepower was bumped up to 282, and torque was bumped up to 545 Nm.
- The price is still being kept under wraps, but the 77-kWh model will be at around £44,500.
