Updated Skoda Enyaq teased ahead of Wednesday reveal
Czech firm’s all-electric family SUV is getting a mid-life refresh with new styling and technology
It’s Skoda’s 130th birthday this year and as part of the celebrations, the company is giving its all-electric Enyaq a facelift, adopting the brand’s latest ‘Modern Solid’ styling language and elements seen on the new Skoda Elroq in the process.
Skoda has released some sketches in the build up to the new-look Enyaq’s reveal and the latest round gives us a sneak peek of the car’s heavily revised front end, which will be sported by both the standard Enyaq SUV and the more rakish Enyaq Coupé.
Scheduled to be unveiled on Wednesday 8 January, the refreshed Enyaq’s biggest design change will be a new, much slimmer and illuminated ‘Tech-Deck Face’ grille panel that’ll replace the current design, which is very tall and closely resembles those seen on Skoda’s combustion-engine models, such as the Superb and Kodiaq.
A recent glimpse of the Enyaq’s front-end shows us the new headlight signature undisguised. The new daytime running light design will wrap around onto the front wings (also as on the Elroq) and swap the traditional Skoda emblem on the nose for simple lettering and a redesigned bumper that incorporates matrix LED headlights.
Skoda’s sales and marketing boss Martin Jahn told Auto Express last year: “When Enyaq was introduced a couple years ago, the majority of our customers were still more traditional. Now we are moving into the more progressive customers that we need for this new phase, and the new design for the car.”
As well as giving the Enyaq a fresh look, Skoda says the new front end has improved airflow, which in turn has increased the car’s range. The changes have also made the Enyaq Coupe the most aerodynamic model in the brand’s line-up. Elsewhere, there will be new dark chrome accents and an Olive Green paint option exclusive to the Enyaq. Plus we’ve been told to expect updates to the powertrains, interior materials and software.
More than 200,000 Enyaqs have been delivered since the highly rated family SUV was launched back in 2020, making it the fourth best-selling EV in Europe. In fact, in October 2024 the Enyaq was the most popular electric car on the continent.
Three more Skoda EVs still to come
Looking further ahead, the all-new, hugely important Skoda Epiq will arrive in 2026, the brand has confirmed. A concept model was unveiled last year, which also employed the ‘Modern Solid’ design language, and should be a very close representation of the final production version. It’s most likely to be revealed in early 2026, and is set to cost around 25,000 Euros (around £21,000 at the current exchange rate).
Then, by the end of 2026 or early in 2027, Skoda’s seven-seat, flagship electric SUV should have been unveiled. The design will be based on the Vision 7S concept from 2022 that introduced us to the ‘Modern Solid’ philosophy, and previewed the future Peugeot E-5008 rival. The name of this model is still under wraps, however.
Finally, Skoda is still working on a pure-electric estate car, which at 4.6 metres long will serve as the zero-emissions alternative to the trusty Octavia Estate. But Auto Express understands it will no longer be arriving in 2026 as originally planned, and is now more likely to hit the streets in 2027 or possibly 2028.
