After a design sketch of the rear part of the updated Enyaq called the facelift, Skoda unveiled another teaser showing the front of the car. The updated Skoda Enyaq will follow the automaker’s new ‘Modern Solid’ design direction debuted on the Elroq EV. Some clues to this design concept, as well as details borrowed from the compact SUV, can be seen under the camouflage.
Changes on the Exterior of the Skoda Enyaq Facelift
Essentially, the Skoda Enyaq facelift brings key changes in design as well as technology and places emphasis on the newest design direction. Below are the key highlights:
Exterior Design Changes
Split Headlamp Setup: One significant change from the current crop of multi- commodity models is the teaching-learning face- lift’s split headlamp setup.
‘Tech Deck’ Panel: A novel grille incorporates four separated LED DRL elements on every side with a strip in the middle, dividing the light pattern.
LED Matrix Headlamps: Integrated lower on the bumper for a more contemporary look, referencing the design of the Elroq EV.
Rear Updates: Some changes are discreet, such as new trim inserts for the rear bumper and side skirts; dark chrome inserts.
New Logo: Symbol – while updating their branding, Skoda has gone from using a winged arrow as the figure of its logo, to a letter mark figure.
Lift and Drag
Improved Aerodynamics: Body fabrication for exterior styling leads to efficiency that results in increased ranged for electric automobiles.
Coupe Variant and Launch Time Line
Mirrored Updates: The Enyaq Coupe will follow the same path of updates as the SUV counterpart.
Launch Date: Each of these models is expected to be out before mid-2025.
Skoda Enyaq 80x Variant: Key Specifications
The one which has been spied testing in India is the Skoda Enyaq 80x and the car offers pretty sorted performance numbers and range. Below are the key details:
Engine & Transmission
Battery: With battery capacity of 77 kWh (net), the axle has WLTP range of up to 513 km.
Dual-Motor Setup: So, it incorporates one motor per axle; the total generating capacity amounts to 265 horsepower.
Acceleration: The 80x model is said to get to 100 km/h in 6.9 seconds.
Skoda Enyaq Launch in India: Facelift Likely on the Horizon
The Skoda Enyaq electric SUV was to be launched in India, and a made in India pre-facelift model could make an appearance at the Bharat Mobility Global Expo in January 2023. It has also been seen testing on Indian roads multiple times now.
If and when Skoda India decides to bring the Enyaq to the country, it could do so with the facelifted version since it probably won’t come with a pre-facelift version update and, in the best-case scenario, would arrive in the country in the next two years or so.
