    The facelifted Skoda Enyaq RS is due to arrive in Australia imminently, and the hot mid-size electric SUV boasts a lower list price than the model it replaces, plus a more practical body style.

    The Enyaq RS SUV is priced at $75,490 before on-road costs, with the Enyaq Coupe RS priced at $76,490 before on-roads.

    They’re due here during the second quarter (April to June) of 2026.

    It’s not the cheapest the dual-motor all-wheel drive Enyaq RS has been here, with the final 30 units of the pre-update model sold at just $66,990 drive-away – a substantial reduction from the standard list price of $83,990 before on-road costs.

    The reduction in list price for the facelifted model comes despite the move to a larger 84kWh (79kWh usable) battery with a 185kW maximum DC fast-charge rate, up from 77kWh and 175kW respectively.

    Range for the ‘coupe’ is now 534km on the WLTP cycle, up from 530km. The more conventionally shaped SUV variant doesn’t go as far between charges, with 523km of WLTP range.

    Outputs are unchanged at 250kW and 545Nm, and likewise the claimed 0-100km/h time remains 5.4 seconds. The AC charge rate also remains at 11kW.
