New Skoda Enyaq: starting at €42,000 in France?

The marketing of the Skoda Enyaq electric 2025, with a redesigned front end, has begun in Germany from €44,200.

With 250,000 units sold in Europe since its launch in 2020, the Skoda Enyaq is the embodiment of common sense. Why? Because it is built on the same electric platform as its Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron cousins, yet it far outsells them. So much so that the Czech manufacturer continues to introduce nearly annual updates.

The 2025 model year stands out immediately with a completely redesigned front for an aerodynamic profile of 0.245. An achievement for an SUV of this size. This also immediately benefits energy efficiency, as the ranges see a slight increase.

Thus, the entry-level Enyaq 60 range increases from 400 to 437 km in mixed WLTP cycle, a jump of 37 km. As for the more powerful Enyaq 85 and Enyaq 85X versions, the range rises from 570 to 586 km (+16 km) and from 528 to 549 km (+21 km), respectively.

Coming Soon in France

To avoid disappointment, Skoda is rolling out the launch of its new Enyaq across its various markets in Europe. Germany is already supplied, and France will follow very soon. The new Eco Bonus 2025 has complicated the final pricing considerations in France, especially with the €2,000 reduction in aid.

In Germany, where the eco bonus disappeared in 2024, the starting price for the Enyaq 60 is set at €44,400… before negotiations. More interestingly, applying the €2,000 bonus available to everyone in France would bring the price down to around €42,000. Overall, it’s still expensive compared to a Tesla Model Y Long Range Rear-Wheel Drive. But the monthly lease could drop directly to €199/month on a 48-month WLT lease with 40,000 km, with an initial payment of €6,880.

It is this indicator to watch, because buying an electric car doesn’t make much sense otherwise.

As a reminder, the Skoda Enyaq 60 features a 63 kWh battery (59 kWh net) and delivers 150 kW (204 horsepower) to the rear wheels. The trunk capacity is 585 liters (The Enyaq is smaller than a Tesla Model Y) and its charging power reaches 165 kW, allowing a 10-80% charge in 24 minutes. On a home socket, charging can go up to 11 kW in series.

Finally, what sets this Skoda apart from its American rival is its build quality. The interior materials are genuinely premium, and the bodywork and interior fittings are flawless. Don’t forget, though, that long miles with incessant squeaks quickly become maddening…

Then, it remains to be seen whether Skoda France will repeat its previous ultra-aggressive pricing on the Enyaq 60, which sometimes dropped to €30,410! This would guarantee success and send a strong signal to competitors.
