The exterior design has undergone a mid-cycle facelift, with a more minimalist approach replacing the previous &#8220;crystalline&#8221; design. The front of the car features sharper, black-backed headlamps and a smooth, closed-off grille. The Sportline trim adds a sporty touch, with 21-inch alloy wheels and a distinctive design language.<\/p>\n<p>Inside, the cabin is a blend of anthracite materials and accent lighting, with a deep instrument panel and a useful head-up display. The touchscreen is intuitive, and the navigation system is excellent, making it easy to plan charging stops and maximize the battery&#8217;s range. The Enyaq glides smoothly on the road, with plenty of grip and a hint of understeer when pushed too far. The regenerative braking system is effective, and the car feels planted and pleasant to drive.<\/p>\n<p>However, there were some issues with the user experience. The cupholders were poorly designed and couldn&#8217;t hold any of the test team&#8217;s drinks receptacles, and the home charging cable was faulty. The speaker system was also problematic, with a persistent buzzing noise that was distracting and annoying.<\/p>\n<p>Despite these issues, the Enyaq is a nice place to spend time, with a well-designed interior and exterior that feels in line with Skoda&#8217;s ethos of useful but not boring family cars. The car&#8217;s range anxiety was not a problem, even without a home charger, and the navigation system was excellent at planning charging stops. With a price tag of \u00a350,810, the Enyaq Sportline 85x is a competitive option in the electric SUV market.<\/p>\n<p>The Enyaq&#8217;s design team, led by Oliver Stefani, has done a great job of updating the car&#8217;s look and feel, while still maintaining Skoda&#8217;s distinctive design language. The car&#8217;s performance is impressive, with 286PS and 545Nm of torque, and a 0-62mph time of 6.6 seconds. The WLTP combined range of 332 miles is also impressive, making the Enyaq a viable option for those looking for a practical and stylish electric SUV.<\/p>\n<p>Overall, the Skoda Enyaq is a solid choice for those in the market for an electric SUV. While it may have some minor issues with the user experience, the car&#8217;s design, performance, and range make it a compelling option. With Skoda&#8217;s 125-year history of motorsport and 35 years with the Volkswagen Group, the Enyaq is a car that is sure to stand the test of time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The new Skoda Enyaq has been put to the test, and the results are impressive.
