Škoda Expands Enyaq Range with Affordable New Entry-Level Models in UK

Škoda has introduced two new entry-level electric vehicles (EVs) to its popular Enyaq SUV range in the United Kingdom (UK) dubbed the Enyaq 50 and Enyaq 50 Edition, which are now available to order.

Both new models are equipped with a 55 kWh battery pack, offering an estimated range of up to 234 miles for the Enyaq 50 and 232 miles for the Enyaq 50 Edition. The rear-mounted electric motor generates 170 horsepower and 310 Nm of torque, allowing the Enyaq to accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in 9.1 seconds, with a top speed of 99 mph.

Notably, both Enyaq 50 models offer a peak DC charging speed of 145 kW, a significant upgrade from the 120 kW of the outgoing Enyaq 60. As a result, this reduces the charging time to 80% from 35 to 25 minutes on a suitable DC rapid charger. For AC charging, the EV model maintains the 11 kW capability, with a full charge taking around five and a half hours.

For the Enyaq 50, the pricing starts at £36,970 ($47,736) and comes with 19-inch Proteus alloy wheels, Loft interior Design Selection, a 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system with navigation, and other safety features.

The Enyaq 50 Edition, priced from £38,585 ($49,822), adds full LED Matrix beam headlights, full LED rear lights, heated front seats and steering wheel, privacy glass, and additional safety features including Crew Protect Assist and extra airbags. It also includes tri-zone climate control, adaptive cruise control, and cooled wireless charging.

Interestingly, these new models replace the outgoing Enyaq 60 in the lineup, which now consists of the Enyaq 50, Enyaq 50 Edition, Enyaq 85 Edition, Enyaq 85x Sportline Plus, Enyaq 85 L&K, and the Enyaq vRS.

As part of the Volkswagen Group for 30 years, Škoda has been strengthening its position in the rapidly evolving EV market. With these new affordable options in the Enyaq lineup, Škoda is making major strides towards making its EV offerings more accessible to a broader buyer base in the UK.
