Škoda Auto has begun assembling its new full electric Enyaq at its main plant in Mladá Boleslav. Following the all-new Elroq, the Enyaq family is the Czech carmaker’s second production model to adopt the Modern Solid design language, which combines ‘robustness, functionality, and authenticity’. The new Enyaq also features enhanced aerodynamics for an extended range, sustainable materials in the interior and new digital features. The production line has an average daily output of up to 300 Enyaq family models.
Andreas Dick, Škoda Auto Board Member for production and logistics, said: “The start of production for the new Enyaq family is a very special moment for our production teams. As Škoda’s first MEB-based model, its predecessor marked a major milestone in manufacturing, laying the foundation for the processes we benefit from today.
“We extensively adapted our production facilities, enabling us to build both fully electric vehicles and the Octavia on a single production line. Producing the new Enyaq family at our main plant in Mladá Boleslav underscores our commitment to the Czech Republic. It reinforces our dedication to securing the long-term future of our sites while recognising our responsibility to further strengthen the country’s role as a key player in the European automotive industry.”
The new Enyaq, based on the modular electric toolkit (MEB), rolls off the ‘state of the art’ production line in Hall M13 at Škoda Auto’s Mladá Boleslav plant, alongside the Octavia and the all-new fully electric compact SUV, the Elroq. It is the first Volkswagen Group (VW) facility in Europe where ICE and BEV models are produced side by side, enabling a rapid adaptation to shifts in consumer demand.
In addition to assembling the new Elroq and updated Enyaq, the Mladá Boleslav plant also manufactures battery systems for these MEB-based vehicles. The traction batteries produced there are also installed in electric models from other VW brands.
The successor to Škoda’s first all-electric production model is available with two battery sizes and three powertrain options, delivering outputs between 204PS and 286PS (150kW and 210kW). The Enyaq 60 and Enyaq 85 feature a single electric motor and rear-wheel drive, while the Enyaq 85x adds a second electric motor at the front for all-wheel drive.
Thanks to a range of aerodynamic enhancements – including optimised air curtains, newly designed wheels, and a sealed gap between the radiator and grille – the new Enyaq achieves an impressive drag coefficient as low as 0.245 for the Enyaq and 0.229 for the Enyaq Coupé. This results in an extended range of up to 365 miles (WLTP) with the new Enyaq Coupé and up to 359 miles with the Enyaq.
