Batteries and powertrains: Long range and reduced charging times enhance customer experience

› Two battery sizes, three powertrain variants, outputs ranging from 150 kW to 210 kW***
› Top-of-the-range Škoda Enyaq 85x with additional front motor and all-wheel drive
› High charging rates of up to 175 kW at DC fast-charging stations; short charging times of 28 minutes or less
› Bidirectional charging available for the first time in an all-electric Škoda Enyaq
› Maximum range of more than 590 kilometres

Mladá Boleslav, 31 March 2025 – The new Škoda Enyaq is available with two battery sizes and three powertrain options, delivering outputs from 150 kW to 210 kW***. The top tier Enyaq 85x features an additional electric motor on the front axle, providing all wheel drive capability. With an extended range of more than 590 kilometres, it is perfectly suited for long-distance journeys. The new Enyaq also supports rapid charging at DC fast-charging stations, achieving a charge from 10 to 80 per cent in just 28 minutes or less, thanks to a maximum charging rate of 175 kW. Bidirectional charging is only available for battery versions 85 and 85x.

“I am pleased that we have further refined the distinctive character of our iconic all-electric SUV, the Enyaq. The new Tech-Deck Face, which has been introduced to this model, marks Škoda’s continued progress towards an increasingly electric future. Customers can choose from three different powertrains and two battery sizes. Improvements to the Enyaq’s aerodynamics further enhance its already excellent efficiency, enabling an extended range of more than 590 kilometres on the WLTP cycle and making the Enyaq an ideal choice for long‑distance travel.”

Johannes Neft, Škoda Auto Board Member for Technical Development

The Enyaq 60’s lithium-ion battery comprises nine modules, each with 12 battery cells, giving it a total gross capacity of 63 kWh. It is combined with a 150 kW synchronous electric motor with permanent magnets on the rear axle, which delivers a maximum torque of 310 Nm to the rear wheels. The top speed is 160 km/h. The Enyaq 85 variant also has an electric motor and rear-wheel drive but comes with a larger lithium-ion battery offering a gross capacity of 82 kWh. It consists of twelve modules, each with 16 battery cells. Its motor produces an output of 210 kW and a maximum torque of 545 Nm. The Enyaq 85x featuring a second, asynchronous electric motor on the front axle enabling all-wheel drive also comes with the larger battery consisting of twelve modules, each with 24 battery cells. This all-wheel drive continuously adjusts the power transmitted to the front wheels, reducing energy consumption while enhancing directional stability. Both versions deliver a top speed of 180 km/h. All three powertrain options are available for the SUV version and the Coupé, as well as their Sportline variants.

All variants of the new Škoda Enyaq support high charging rates: up to 165 kW for the Enyaq 60 and a maximum of 175 kW for the Enyaq 85x. This means that the larger battery can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in 28 minutes at DC fast-charging stations; the Enyaq 60 in just 24 minutes. All models charge at up to 11 kW at AC charging stations. A new feature of the new Enyaq 85 and 85x models is bidirectional DC charging (V2H*). This function allows the Enyaq’s battery to double as a supplementary energy storage unit for the home. With a suitable DC wallbox** for bidirectional charging and, for example, a home battery storage system, users will be able to control the flow of electricity to and from the car according to their preferences – for example, based on current electricity prices, or in the event of a power cut.
* V2H (DC) – Allows electrical energy to be stored in the car’s high-voltage battery and subsequently fed into a home battery storage system, for example.
** Škoda Auto is currently working on providing its customers with a suitable DC wallbox enabling bidirectional functionality, as an additional step to make charging and energy usage as efficient as possible.

*** The maximum power is determined in accordance with UN-GTR.21. The maximum power is available when the high-voltage battery is at its highest possible state of charge (SoC) and operating within its optimal temperature range. The power available varies according to the driving scenario and is influenced by factors including the battery’s temperature, its SoC, and the physical ageing of the high-voltage battery.

The front axle of the new Enyaq is equipped with ventilated disc brakes and single-piston callipers for the Enyaq 60 and twin-piston callipers for the Enyaq 85 and Enyaq 85x, while the rear axle features drum brakes, ideal for electric vehicles that rely primarily on regenerative braking. Excellent handling is ensured by a MacPherson front suspension with lower triangular arms and a transverse torsion stabiliser, paired with a multi link suspension with five transverse arms and torsion stabiliser at the rear. Driving comfort can be further enhanced with DCC adaptive dampers or variable-ratio progressive steering. The DCC adaptive chassis adjusts the suspension responses based on road surface characteristics or driver preferences. Based on continuously monitored parameters such as wheel position and body roll, it automatically adjust the chassis characteristics. The DCC adaptive chassis offers three predefined settings: Normal, Comfort, and Sport. These are complemented by the Individual mode providing a choice of fifteen different chassis set-ups. Adaptive dampers can be ordered as part of the Maxx Package.
