Skoda Enyaq Coupe review
The Skoda Enyaq Coupe is a solid electric family car, but it’s hard to recommend it over the standard SUV
Our opinion on the Skoda Enyaq Coupe
The Skoda Enyaq Coupe as a standalone car remains very solid in a sea of excellent competition. Its slippery shape brings a slight improvement in efficiency over the standard SUV and the sporty design certainly gives it some extra kerb appeal, but as a rational choice the cheaper, standard Enyaq is a no-brainer.
About the Skoda Enyaq Coupe
Fashion can sometimes take precedent over function – as is the case with the burgeoning coupé-SUV sector. With these cars you often pay more for less space, gaining a sleeker roofline in the process. The Skoda Enyaq Coupe is no different, although it’s based on one of our favourite family electric cars. But is there any rational reason you’d pick the coupe over the more practical SUV?
It’s not only the full-size Enyaq the facelifted coupe model has to fight against. Now, there’s also the smaller Elroq to take into consideration, which comes with a bit less room but also a lower price tag and the option of the same 77kWh battery that’s available in the Enyaq Coupe.
The Enyaq Coupe took a year to launch after the Enyaq back in 2022, but by giving the svelte EV a facelift in 2025, Skoda wasted very little time breaking out the updates.

Cash £13,733We’ve tested the Enyaq Coupe in a variety of ways since it first arrived in the UK. Our web producer, Pete Baiden, spent six months with an Enyaq Coupe 85 as part of our long-term test fleet to assess its ability as a family car. Not only did he quickly become a big fan of this car’s styling, but Pete also found that the Coupe’s reduced practicality wasn’t as big a problem for as he first feared.
The Enyaq Coupe also faces some fierce automotive rivals, so we also put it up against a Kia EV6 in our real-world twin test. The Czech coupe saw off its Korean competitor thanks to refinement, interior space and general value for money.
Skoda Enyaq Coupe prices and latest deals
While the regular SUV starts from around £39,000, the Skoda Enyaq Coupe commands a substantial financial premium over its boxier counterpart. The Coupe line-up kicks off from around £46,200 for the entry-level 85 variant, and this number climbs all the way to nearly £54,000 for the performance-focused vRS.
By building your brand-new Skoda Enyaq Coupe through the Auto Express Buy a Car service, you can save an average of £3,600. You can also save up to 4,200 on the Skoda Enyaq vRS Coupe. We also have plenty of used Enyaq Coupes to choose from, as well as some highly tempting Skoda Enyaq Coupe leasing deals.
Performance & driving experience
Pros |
|
Cons |
|
As for the way the Enyaq Coupe drives, it’s behaves in a similar manner to the regular Enyaq. If you go in expecting a more dynamic drive, you’ll be a tad disappointed.
| Model | Power | 0-62mph | Top speed |
| Enyaq Coupe Edition 85 | 282bhp | 6.5 seconds | 111mph |
| Enyaq Coupe SportLine 85x | 282bhp | 6.5 seconds | 111mph |
| Enyaq Coupe vRS | 335bhp | 5.2 seconds | 111mph |
Performance, 0-60mph acceleration and top speed
Perhaps to highlight its sportier intent, the Enyaq Coupe starts with the more powerful 282bhp single motor set-up compared with the 201bhp single motor found in the regular Enyaq. This enables the Coupe to get from 0-62mph in a swift 6.5 seconds compared with 8.1 seconds for the normal Enyaq.
Total power for the dual-motor version doesn’t rise over the single-motor’s 282bhp, although the rear-motor’s 545Nm of torque is supplemented by another 134Nm on the front axle. So it’s a shame then that it’s actually no quicker than the single motor from 0-62mph. If you want that, then you’ll need to plump for the 335bhp vRS model, which will dispatch the same 0-62mph sprint in just 5.2 seconds.
Town driving, visibility and parking
The Enyaq Coupe is a big car, but we found it easy to place on all but the narrowest of streets in town. Parking is a similar story, although rear visibility is less ideal because the heavily raked rear window gives a letterbox-shaped portal to peer through. The C-pillars are chunky, too. Thankfully, a rear-view camera is standard fit, as are front and rear sensors.
The Enyaq has a one-pedal regenerative braking mode to help boost efficiency, and it's activated by selecting ‘B’ on the drive selector. Standard on SportLine and vRS models (optional as part of the Maxx package on Edition trim) is a three-spoke steering wheel with variable regenerative braking paddles that are mounted behind the steering wheel. These give a bit more control over the strength of the slowing force from the regenerative braking, although the level of brake regeneration reverts to nothing after you get back on the accelerator.
We’re not big fans of the feel of the brake pedal, which doesn’t seem perfectly calibrated – the initial response isn’t very strong, and it needs a hefty press to switch from regenerative to mechanical braking.
Country road driving and handling
The Skoda Enyaq Coupe is capable enough in bends for a family-oriented EV. You won’t exactly go hunting for Britain’s best driving roads, but it gives a good account of itself, with weighty steering no matter which driving mode you choose, and plenty of grip in all-wheel-drive configuration. The single-motor Enyaq has a nice feel to it, too, with a decidedly rear-driven bias.
Motorway driving and long-distance comfort
The Enyaq Coupé’s ability to dispatch potholes and drain covers (even on the largest wheel available) is amongst the best in its class, and this ride quality is apparent at any speed, whatever road surface you find yourself on. We wouldn’t bother with the £3,950 Maxx Package, which adds adaptive dampers along with a suite of driver-assistance technology.
As with most EVs, the powertrain is near silent in its operation. Wind and tyre noise do pick up a little at motorway speeds, but they’re nowhere near loud enough to cause a disturbance.
“I had expected this Coupe to be a bit harsh over lumps and bumps, but it really wasn’t noticeable. Everybody was comfortable throughout the journey, and we all arrived almost as fresh as when we’d left.” - Pete Baiden, web producer.
MPG & running costs
Pros |
|
Cons |
|
The Enyaq Coupe is actually the most aerodynamically efficient Skoda to date, with a coefficient of 0.229. Because of its slipperier shape compared to the standard SUV, the Coupe’s range figures are ever so slightly better.
Rather than offer a choice of 59kWh and 77kWh battery packs like the regular Enyaq, the Coupe only comes with the larger unit. The entry-level Edition 85 with its single-motor rear-wheel-drive configuration claims a maximum of 365 miles of range, and the dual-motor all-wheel drive SportLine 85x tops out at 336 miles on the WLTP combined cycle. The sportier vRS manages 347 miles on paper, which isn’t bad when considering this car’s increased power output, although it does have an ever so slightly larger 79kWh battery pack.
These figures are pretty accurate, too, because we found that our dual-motor SportLine would very nearly match Skoda’s claim of 3.9 miles per kWh around town, dropping to around 3.5 miles per kWh on a motorway cruise. It’s a shame the energy-saving heat pump is a £1,100 optional extra across the line-up, however.
Compared with the 350kW DC rapid-charging rate of the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, the Enyaq Coupe’s 175kW peak looks pretty average, though it will provide a 10 to 80 per cent top-up in 28 minutes. A six-metre mode 3 charging cable comes standard in the Enyaq Coupe, though the SportLine adds a boot net and cable bag to keep it tucked away tidily.
| Model | Battery size | Range | Insurance group |
| Enyaq Coupe Edition 85 | 77kWh | 365 miles | 34 |
| Enyaq Coupe SportLine 85x | 77kWh | 356 miles | 38 |
| Enyaq Coupe vRS | 79kWh | 347 miles | 39 |
Insurance groups
Sitting between insurance groups 34 and 39 (out of 50) means that covering the Enyaq Coupe won’t be the cheapest endeavour. The Enyaq SUV is a bit cheaper in some guises, as it starts from group 27 thanks to the 60 variant. If you’re eyeing up the Coupe’s competitors, the Volkswagen ID.5 ranges from group 27 to 39.
Tax
Every EV now qualifies for the standard rate of VED road tax, so owning an EV isn’t quite as inexpensive as it once was. However, company car drivers can still relish its a three per cent Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rating.
The Skoda Enyaq Coupe’s price premium compared to the SUV means every model surpasses the £40,000 luxury car tax threshold, so you’ll need to prepare for a combined annual total of £620 between years two and six after the car is first registered.
Depreciation
The Enyaq Coupe falls short of its chunkier twin when it comes to depreciation, as our expert data shows it’ll retain only 41 to 43 per cent of its initial value after three years or 36,000 miles, compared to the SUV’s 45 to 48 per cent. The closely related Volkswagen ID.5 manages to hold on to 45 to 49 per cent after the same period.
Interior, design & technology
Pros |
|
Cons |
|
You’ll notice that much of the Enyaq’s facelifted design has been focused on the front. To bring it closer to the Elroq, it sports the brand’s new Tech-Deck Face, which features a reshaped nose complete with thin LED headlights and illuminated strakes in the centre section. There’s also a restyled bumper, which aids the Enyaq Coupe’s aerodynamics.
The Coupe gets a huge panoramic glass roof as standard, which adds a touch more headroom all round, not that you’ll find it cramped – it feels every bit as roomy as the regular car, and more so than many rivals. The front seats are particularly comfortable, too, and look great in SportLine trim with microsuede and faux-leather upholstery.
Aside from the sporty touches, this trim also offers some useful features. The head-up display provides just enough information clearly without diverting your attention from the road ahead, and the ‘area-view’ exterior camera really did help us out in tight car parks.
Two solid colours are available on the Enyaq Coupe, along with a no-cost blue option and a grey that costs £680. There are also six metallic paint options, all priced at £680 - white, green, grey, silver, blue and pearl. Beyond this, there’s a red metallic priced at over £1,000. One of our test cars sported an Olive Green metallic, which looked especially good to our eyes.
Interior and dashboard design
The standard interior trim design in the Enyaq Coupe is called ‘Loft’, which utilises fabric and artificial leather upholstery; SportLine trim brings microfibre upholstery, red accents and faux carbon-fibre trim. Optional designs start with ‘Lounge’, which costs £1,300 and adds grey microsuede, faux leather and mint green accents. For £2,200, you can add Suite Cognac or Suite Black, which feature black or brown artificial leather.
If anything, we’d say the Skoda’s unique design touches make the Enyaq Coupe’s cabin a nicer place to be than the Volkswagen ID.5.
Materials and build quality
The interior quality in the Enyaq Coupe is excellent - as we’ve come to expect in large Skodas of late. We couldn’t find any loose bits of trim in the cabin, and things like the upholstery stitching and switchgear all felt like they should stand the test of time.
Regardless of options, the Enyaq feels very well put together, and it certainly lives up to VW Group’s generally strong reputation for quality.
Infotainment, sat-nav and stereo
No matter which Enyaq you buy, you’ll get a 13-inch touchscreen and a five-inch driver’s display. The driver’s screen does look a little buried within the dash - especially considering that many rivals offer a screen twice the size these days, but we can’t complain about how easy it is to use. It’s clear, concise and doesn’t distract you too much from the road ahead.
The larger central screen is the same size as in the pre-facelift car, but the Volkswagen Group (not just Skoda) recently introduced an upgraded operating system, so some menu tabs and the overall layout have been tweaked. However, it’s still quick to respond to inputs and supremely easy to get your head around, although we’d like physical switches for the climate and audio - something the latest Superb and Kodiaq come with. As before, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are standard fit across the range.
“If you haven’t been inside a Skoda in a while, you’ll be shocked at the quality of the Enyaq. It’s full of soft touch materials, and the large infotainment screen is a joy to use. The only slight gripe is the position of the physical buttons, as they become hidden and hard to use as soon as you put any sort of drink into the cup holders” - Pete Baiden, web producer.
Boot space & practicality
Pros |
|
Cons |
|
While the Enyaq SUV is slightly more practical than the Coupe on paper, the latter still offers enough space to comfortably take on family car duties.
Dimensions and size
The Enyaq Coupe is pretty much the same size as the Enyaq SUV, but the key difference between the two is boot space. The Enyaq is also longer, wider and taller than the closely-related Volkswagen ID.5.
| Dimensions comparison | |||
| Model | Skoda Enyaq Coupe | Volkswagen ID.5 | Ford Capri |
| Length | 4,658mm | 4,599mm | 4,634mm |
| Width | 2,148mm | 1,852mm | 1,872mm |
| Height | 1,623mm | 1,618mm | 1,626mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,766mm | 2,770mm | 2,760mm |
| Boot space | 570 litres | 549 litres | 572 litres |
Seats & passenger space
You’d be hard-pressed to spot any differences in interior space compared with the standard Enyaq SUV. Taller passengers may need to duck a little more when getting into the back, but once they’re inside, headroom shouldn’t be an issue, despite the Coupe’s sloping roofline reducing the amount of headroom a touch over the regular version. The rear seats are still roomy enough to accommodate a couple of six-foot adults, and there’s enough shoulder room for three people to sit side by side for a reasonable length of time.
We still love the helpful little touches that Skoda gives its cars under the ‘Simply Clever’ tagline. They include things such as foldable tray tables on the back of the front seats and double pockets for rear passengers’ smartphones, as well as umbrellas hidden inside the front doors and pull-up sun blinds in the rear doors. Like the regular Enyaq, the Coupe features a pair of Isofix child seat-mounting points on the outer rear seats.
Boot space
Although the Coupe’s shape brings benefits in terms of range, there’s a price to be paid in practicality. It’s the same story as before, with the Enyaq’s 585 litre capacity shrinking to a still impressive 570 litres with the rear seats up in the Coupe. We imagine the sloped roof of the Coupe will only really be a slight hindrance to big dogs who like to sit up in the boot, and on the odd occasion where you need to transport large pieces of furniture. Otherwise, the 1,610 litres of space with the seats down – compared with the SUV’s 1,740 litres – is excellent. Handily, those rear seats can be folded down from the boot, too.
The ‘Transport Package’ is a £300 option and, besides a charging cable bag, variable boot floor, rear-seat storage and boot netting, it also comes with dividers that fasten to the boot floor to stop luggage sliding around.
Towing
The two-wheel drive Enyaq Coupe models are rated to tow up to 1,000kg braked. However, upgrading to a four-wheel drive car boosts this to 1,800kg. An electronic retracting tow bar is available, but this is a £750 option.
In comparison, the standard Volkswagen ID.5s manages 1,000kg, while the GTX ups this to 1,400kg. All variants of the Ford Capri are rated for up to 1,200kg.
“I’m 5ft 10in tall, the average height of a male in the UK, and I can comfortably sit in the back seats with room to spare. My head is nowhere near the roof, it doesn’t feel claustrophobic and the full-glass panel helps the cabin feel light and airy throughout.” - Pete Baiden, web producer.
Reliability & safety
Pros |
|
Cons |
|
As a general rule, electric cars have fewer moving (and parts that wear) than their combustion-engined equivalents, so should in therory be less troublesome to own. The Enyaq SUV and Coupe both use the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform, which has been designed from the outset for EVs, and also serves as the underpinnings for models from Audi, Cupra and Volkswagen.
However, there’s still plenty of room for improvement with Skoda’s Driver Power scores. In the most recent best manufacturer rankings, the Czech brand only managed a 12th-place finish out of 31 carmakers. However, this was still a better result than Volkswagen, Audi, SEAT, and Cupra managed to achieve.
The Enyaq Coupe shares the regular SUV’s five-star Euro NCAP crash safety rating, and it also gets a solid amount of safety kit as standard with predictive adaptive cruise control, blind-spot detection, traffic-sign recognition, lane-keep assist, a rear-view camera and front and rear parking sensors. Remote park assist is included as part of the Maxx Package, and this can help you get into tight gaps more easily. Unlike the regular SUV, the Enyaq Coupe also comes with matrix LED headlights as standard, though the ‘area view’ exterior camera is only offered on the SportLine trim.
| Euro NCAP safety ratings | |
| Euro NCAP safety rating | Five stars (2025) |
| Adult occupant protection | 90% |
| Child occupant protection | 87% |
| Vulnerable road user protection | 77% |
| Safety assist | 78% |
Buying and owning
- Best buy: Skoda Enyaq Coupé Sportline 85x
The Enyaq Coupe is already pricier than the SUV, but we recommend investing in the four-wheel drive variant if you want the very best from this car. As well as improved towing capability and grip on the road, the 85x is fitted with a torquier dual-motor powertrain. Official battery range is less than the two-wheel drive models, but it still surpasses the 300-mile mark, which should be more than enough for most requirements. Sportline trim also brings in useful extra features such as a head-up display, an upgraded sound system and an area view camera.
Skoda Enyaq Coupe alternatives
With the regular Enyaq becoming quite a popular choice, it was only a matter of time before a coupe-SUV version arrived. Its main rivals include the similarly rakish Nissan Ariya, Peugeot E-3008 and Tesla Model Y, not to mention the closely related Volkswagen ID.5, Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron and Ford Capri.
The Enyaq Coupe will appeal to those looking for something a little more stylish than the handsome but sensible regular Enyaq, plus it offers a slightly longer electric driving range than its sibling because of its more slippery shape.
The Skoda will be a more useful day-to-day companion than the Ford Mustang Mach-E and Genesis GV60 due to its more spacious interior and larger boot. Those two rivals have a handy space under their bonnets for the charging cable, whereas the Enyaq Coupe has a cubby under the boot floor, but that isn't a make-or-break matter. The Tesla Model Y still remains the benchmark for charging on long trips, with an easier-to-use network of dedicated rapid chargers and even better electric efficiency.
Frequently Asked Questions
Like all Skodas, the Enyaq Coupe is covered by a three-year warranty. For the first two years, there’s no mileage limit, but for the third year of ownership you’re covered up to the 60,000-mile mark. There are extended warranties available, and the battery pack in the Enyaq is covered by a separate eight-year/100,000-mile warranty.
