Skoda has started assembling the new Enyaq at its main plant in the Czech Republic. This marks a major step for the brand as it continues its push into the electric vehicle (EV) market. The Enyaq family is Skoda’s second model to feature the new ‘Modern Solid’ design, following the introduction of the all-new Elroq. With an average daily output of up to 300 units, the production facility is geared to meet rising demand for electric mobility.
Production
The new Enyaq is built on the modular electric toolkit (MEB) platform, the same architecture used across several Volkswagen Group electric models. The Czech plant now assembles the Enyaq alongside the Octavia and the fully electric Elroq. This makes it the first Volkswagen Group facility in Europe to manufacture both internal combustion engine (ICE) and battery electric vehicle (BEV) models on the same production line.
This approach allows for quick adjustments in production based on consumer demand. In addition to vehicle assembly, the facility also produces battery systems for MEB-based vehicles. These traction batteries are not only used in Skoda’s EVs but are also supplied to other Volkswagen Group brands.
Powertrain Options
The updated Skoda Enyaq comes with two battery sizes and three different powertrain configurations, catering to a range of driving preferences. The power outputs range from 204bhp to 286bhp, offering both rear-wheel and all-wheel drive options.
| Model | Battery Size | Power Output | Drivetrain |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enyaq 60 | Standard | 204bhp | RWD |
| Enyaq 85 | Larger | 286bhp | RWD |
| Enyaq 85x | Larger | 286bhp | AWD |
Driving Range
One of the biggest selling points of the new Enyaq is its impressive driving range. Skoda claims that the Enyaq Coupe can travel up to 587km on a single charge (WLTP), while the standard Enyaq model can reach up to 577km. These figures position the Enyaq as one of the most competitive EVs in its segment.
Future Outlook
With Skoda expanding its EV lineup, the Enyaq’s production signals the brand’s commitment to a greener future. The integration of ICE and BEV models in the same plant reflects the flexibility automakers need in today’s rapidly evolving automotive industry. As consumer demand shifts towards electric vehicles, Skoda is positioning itself as a key player in the transition.
