The short version

For its first few years here the Škoda Enyaq was a single swoopy Coupé that opened near $70,000, and almost nobody noticed. The 2026 rework is a different beast entirely. There is a practical SUV wagon now, the entry price has dropped below $56,000, and the range runs from a frugal LFP-battery Select 60 all the way to a 250kW RS. It is the most convincing Škoda in years: a restrained, properly sorted European EV aimed pointily at buyers who find the Tesla Model Y and the Chinese newcomers a bit much. The catch is the options sheet, where one check box changes the car completely.

The full picture

Living with the Enyaq.

The MY27 Enyaq spans three grades on Volkswagen's MEB platform. The rear-drive Select 60 opens the range at $55,990 drive-away with a 140kW motor and a 61kWh LFP battery good for 431km WLTP. The rear-drive Sportline 85 steps up to 210kW, an 82kWh battery and 551km for $64,990. The all-wheel-drive RS tops it out at 250kW, 0 to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds and 546km, for $79,990. Every grade is available as the practical SUV wagon; the sleeker Coupé is a separate model.

The box that matters is Dynamic Chassis Control. Australian reviewers found the passive-suspension Sportline too firm without it, with noticeable head-shake over patched roads; with the adaptive DCC set-up the ride turns supple and composed. DCC is standard on the RS and a roughly $5,000 Ultimate-package option on the Sportline, and reviewers rate it close to essential. Budget for it, and the Sportline becomes the pick of the range.

Charging splits along battery lines. The Sportline and RS take DC at up to 165kW for a 10-to-80 per cent stop of around 29 minutes; the entry Select's LFP battery is capped at 105kW, though its smaller pack still fills in about 26 minutes. AC charging is 11kW across the board. None of it is class-leading in outright speed, but the Enyaq's real pitch is ownership: a seven-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty and unusually cheap servicing.

The honest read is a European EV that trades outright value for polish. It costs more than a BYD Sealion 7 or Kia EV5, and the Select charges slowly, but reviewers consistently rate its ride, finish and Australian-road tuning a clear step above the Chinese pack, and closer to an Audi Q4 e-tron it shares a platform with. If you want restrained styling, a genuine wagon boot and a car sorted for local roads, the Enyaq earns its premium.

250kW

The most powerful Škoda sold here

The dual-motor Enyaq RS is the most powerful production Škoda ever offered in Australia, yet reviewers praise it for composure over outright speed rather than headline numbers.

The range

Enyaq Range Walk

Three grades, all on the same MEB platform. The step up the range buys battery, power and drivetrain, but the single most important decision is whether the Sportline gets Dynamic Chassis Control.

  1. 01

    Enyaq Select 60

    Value buyers who charge mostly at home

    From $55,990

    The rear-drive entry Enyaq at $55,990 drive-away: a 140kW motor, a 61kWh LFP battery, 431km WLTP range, 19-inch wheels and the core cabin with a 13-inch touchscreen, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, heated front seats and tri-zone climate. The trade-off is slower 105kW DC charging.

  2. 02

    Enyaq Sportline 85

    Most buyers, once DCC is ticked

    From $64,990

    For $64,990 the volume grade adds a bigger 82kWh battery (551km), 210kW, faster 165kW DC charging, Sportline styling, sports seats, progressive steering and 20-inch wheels. Crucially, this is the grade where the roughly $5,000 Ultimate package adds the ride-transforming DCC, a head-up display and Canton audio.

  3. 03

    Enyaq RS

    Buyers who want performance and AWD as standard

    From $79,990

    The $79,990 flagship: 250kW all-wheel drive, 0 to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds, 546km range, standard DCC, ventilated front seats, a Canton system, matrix LED lighting and 21-inch wheels. Composed rather than savage, and the only Enyaq with dual motors.

The verdict

We would pick the Sportline 85, and we would tick the Ultimate package for its Dynamic Chassis Control, because without DCC the ride is the car's weakest point and with it the Enyaq becomes properly resolved. The Select 60 is the value play if a slower-charging LFP battery suits your driving, and the RS is the flagship. A Tesla Model Y goes further and charges faster for the money, but nothing in the class matches the Enyaq's European polish and ownership value.

Where it shines
  • Restrained, genuinely European styling and cabin finish
  • Broad range: a $55,990 LFP Select through to a 250kW RS
  • Composed, well-sorted ride when fitted with DCC
  • Seven-year/unlimited-km warranty and cheap servicing
  • Practical SUV wagon boot (585L)
  • Five-star ANCAP safety
Worth weighing up
  • The passive Sportline rides firm without the $5,000 DCC option
  • Entry Select's LFP battery charges slowly (105kW DC)
  • Pricier than BYD Sealion 7 and Kia EV5 rivals
  • 165kW peak DC charging is only mid-pack for 2026
The back story

Where the Enyaq has been.

Past generations. Context, not the car on sale today.

The Enyaq is Škoda's first bespoke electric car, revealed in late 2020 and built on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform alongside the VW ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron. It reached Australia late and in unusual form, and the 2026 facelift reshaped the range more than the car.

2024, Australian launch

Arrived here Coupé-only, with the 85 powertrain, opening near $70,000 before on-road costs. It was well-reviewed but niche, limited by a single swoopy body style and a high entry price.

2026, 'Modern Solid' facelift

A restyle plus a repositioning: a practical SUV wagon body was added, the entry price dropped below $56,000 with the new Select grade, and the dual-motor RS joined the range. For MY27 the Select adopted an LFP battery.
