SKODA ENYAQ receives exciting update: more range and new design!

The Czech Volkswagen subsidiary, Skoda, has announced a comprehensive update of your electric SUV ENYAQ. By the end of 2024, over 250,000 units of the model including the coupé variant have already been delivered. The internal competition in the electrical segment continues to grow, in particular through the ELROQ and EPIQ models already presented. Despite the new competitors, the drive technology of the ENYAQ remains based on the proven VW kit MEB, and the motorization and the battery capacity will remain largely unchanged.

The performance of the models is determined as follows: The Enyaq 85 offers an output of 210 kW with a net battery capacity of 77 kWh. The ENYAQ 60 has an output of 150 kW and a net battery capacity of 59 kWh. The area increase of the enyaq deserves special attention, which is now up to 586 kilometers for the SUV and over 596 kilometers for the coupé (both in version 85). There are ranges of 437 kilometers (SUV) and 446 kilometers (coupé) for the ENYAQ 60. The all-wheel drive version 85x can cover up to 549 kilometers (SUV) and 558 kilometers (coupé). Coupé models in particular benefit from a range of around ten kilometers higher, which is due to optimized aerodynamics. In addition, the front section was modernized in the style of the Skoda design language, whereby the radiator grille is now made narrower.

Details on battery technology

Another aspect of the electric vehicle is the innovative battery production at Skoda, as on skoda-storyboard.com . The aluminum shell plays a central role in the production of the batteries. This is prepared in a special area, and most work steps are carried out using robots, with manual support at certain stations. The aluminum shell, which comes from a supplier, is equipped with various components, including connections, seals, plugs and screw sockets. An external heat protection that runs through the middle of the shell protects the battery from waste heat.

After assembly, the batteries run through strict tests. A robot ensures that the cover is freed from contaminants. The process of the "marriage" describes the inserting of the assembled battery modules in the case, which is also robotic. The screwing of the shell and the modules includes the final assembly, whereby a special solution is used to check the correct number of screws. After visual control, in which the connections are marked, the module is connected to the control unit and the battery is ready for sealing.
