Cheaper entry price, Modern Solid styling, and new body shapes coincide with Skoda’s Enyaq facelift

Skoda has today revealed its new facelifted electric Enyaq mid-size SUV, which launches as part of a bold new pricing offensive and rollout of a new rear-drive 60 Select variant.

The ‘cheap’ variant will also be offered in the recently launched Elroq model as well.

The facelifted Enyaq benefits from a wealth of enhancements, with a significant ‘Modern Solid’ exterior restyle, new value focused powertrain, and crucially, sharper pricing.

External dimensions and wheelbase for the 2026 Enyaq are almost identical. The facelifted Enyaq measures 4658mm long, 1879mm wide, 1623mm tall, and drives on a 2766mm wheelbase.

Changes to the 2026 Enyaq sees a once coupe-only model range now offered predominantly with a wagon-bodied focus, while the sporty coupe body is now reserved for a range topping Coupe 85 Sportline and dual-motor RS variant, set for a Q2 2026 release

New to the Enyaq model range is a base-model ‘60 Select’ variant.

Powered by a 150kW/310Nm electric motor and 63kWh gross battery, the 60 Select is exclusively rear-wheel drive and starts at $54,990 drive-away. This base variant offers 19-inch wheels, a slightly reduced driving range and lower power output from the 85 Sportline.

The once base model Enyaq 85 Sportline now finds itself in the middle of the range. It’s powered by a 210kW/545Nm motor with an 82kWh gross battery and is priced from $63,990 drive away (DA). It gains 20-inch alloy wheels, matrix LED headlights, more power, and a greater driving range.

Topping the Enyaq model range (until the RS facelift arrives in Q2 2026) is the Coupe 85 Sportline, priced from $68,990 DA. That model gains Skoda’s ‘Ultimate pack’, which includes a 12-speaker Canton audio system and Dynamic Chassis Control adaptive suspension, as well as 21-inch wheels.

Skoda Enyaq 2026 vs rivals

Skoda originally debuted the Eynaq midsizer, its expected volume seller, in 60 Select trim when it launched in Europe. That strategy didn’t carry over to local markets, with Skoda Australia instead opting to launch with the now mid-spec 85 Sportline.

Introducing the 60 Select trim to Oz in the coming months gives Skoda a value-focused leg up on an increasingly competitive Australian midsize EV market. Adding the 60 Select trim to the Elroq small SUV reaps the same benefits – that model now starts from $49,990 driveaway.

The Enyaq’s cut driveaway pricing sees Skoda revisit the hotly contested midsize electric SUV market with a European built product which contends with conventionally inexpensive Chinese EV rivals.

Starting at $54,990 driveaway, the Enyaq undercuts the $54,990 BYD Sealion 7, $54,800 Xpeng G6 and $56,900 Zeekr X. Prices shown are before on-road costs.

Vitally, Skoda’s facelifted Enyaq medium SUV also outprices the $58,900 (before on roads) Tesla Model Y, which currently leads the Australian EV segment, as well as ‘traditional’ rivals like the $56,770 Kia EV5 and the Enyaq’s $59,990 sister car, the Volkswagen ID4.
