The Škoda Enyaq has proven itself a popular choice for UK drivers seeking a practical, spacious, and affordable electric family car. Now, Škoda has sharpened the Enyaq’s appeal for businesses with several key refinements. From a sleeker design to enhanced software, these updates position the Enyaq as a compelling option for company car drivers and fleet managers alike.
Efficiency That Pays Off: Better Range and Lower Running Costs
The most immediately noticeable change is in the Enyaq’s aerodynamic efficiency. A streamlined front end with a slimmer “Tech-Deck” grille, refined air curtains, and redesigned aero wheels contribute to impressive drag coefficients – as low as 0.229Cd for the Coupé variant. This sleeker profile translates directly into real-world benefits: extended driving range before needing to recharge and reduced energy consumption per mile.
For fleets, lower energy use means substantial savings over time. And for drivers, it signifies fewer charging stops on long journeys, maximizing productivity and minimizing disruption. Official WLTP range figures highlight the Enyaq’s newfound efficiency. The top-tier Enyaq 85 SUV boasts up to 359 miles on a single charge, while the Coupé version stretches this even further to 365 miles. Even all-wheel-drive variants (85x) maintain impressive ranges of around 334 miles (SUV) and 336 miles (Coupé). The sporty vRS model is rated for up to 334 miles (SUV) and 342 miles (Coupé), offering a compelling combination of performance and range. Even the entry-level Enyaq 60, with its smaller battery, offers a respectable 269 miles – ample for most weekly commutes. The larger 85 battery capacity provides significant reassurance for drivers tackling longer distances or regional travel.
Adding to the appeal from a business perspective is the car’s zero-emission status. This means favorable Benefit-in-Kind (BiK) tax rates, making it an attractive proposition for company car drivers. Additionally, its brisk charging speeds and generous standard equipment contribute to lower whole-life costs, further enhancing its financial attractiveness compared to plug-in hybrid or diesel alternatives. The current BiK rate for the Enyaq stands at just 3% for 2025/26, increasing by a manageable 1% annually – significantly undercutting plug-in hybrids and diesel counterparts.
More Than Just Efficiency: Interior Refinements and User Experience
Beyond the tangible benefits of range and efficiency, Škoda has also focused on enhancing the Enyaq’s interior and user experience. The cabin features more sustainable materials and a refreshed design aesthetic that elevates the overall feeling of quality. This focus on comfort translates directly into driver satisfaction, which is vital for fleet management aiming to retain skilled personnel.
Importantly, the new Enyaq boasts a simplified and more intuitive infotainment system designed with usability in mind, especially while driving. Drivers can now access key functions with greater ease and efficiency, enhancing the overall drive experience.
The revised Škoda Enyaq delivers on multiple fronts crucial to business users: extending range for less cost-effective operation, creating a pleasant interior environment, and offering intuitive technology designed for everyday use.
