Technically, the Skoda Enyaq is predicated on the modular electrical system (MEB) and is carefully associated to the VW ID.4. Each had been just lately transformed to the brand new 210 kW rear engine. Nevertheless, a facelift is anticipated for 2025, which may already be seen within the first prototypes. The check automobiles are being examined within the Austrian Alps. Beneath we examine the present Enyaq (as a traditional SUV) with the images of the corresponding prototype:
The automobile seems to get minor modifications to the entrance bumper and air intakes. As an alternative of the radiator grille, which can be out there in an illuminated model, there may also be a “Tech Deck”, first seen within the seven-seat research Imaginative and prescient 7S. The radiator fins are changed by darkish glass, behind which the car sensors are hidden. The brand new “T” formed mild signature can’t be seen within the photos, nonetheless, on the entrance or rear.
Did Skoda trick the lights so cleverly? We do not rule it out, as a result of the brand new T-look would make sense: Firstly, there are corresponding trade rumors and secondly, it will be unusual to offer the Enyaq an insignificant change when it will get you look model new on the similar time.

The motors used are more likely to proceed because the aforementioned everlasting magnet 210 kW axle-parallel machine with round 550 Nm (APP550) on the rear and the well-known AKA150 motor from Magna on the entrance axle.

The automobile can be more likely to have a bigger battery with 79 as an alternative of 77 kWh and a charging time on the DC column that’s two minutes shorter. The cockpit must also be revised and connectivity needs to be improved. All of this could assist Enyaq preserve its good place within the gross sales statistics.
