Skoda Enyaq 85 Sportline 2026 review: snapshot

The Skoda Enyaq Coupe 85 Sportline for 2026 continues from the original, pre-facelift version released in Australia in September, 2024, introducing a new look as well as a second body style that should appeal to family-orientated consumers – a more-practical SUV wagon shape.

Like the base 60 Select, both versions are only available with a rear-mounted electric motor driving the rear wheels.

Starting from $59,990 before on-road costs, the new 85 Sportline SUV wagon is competing head-on with the likes of the BYD Sealion 7, Kia EV5 and Tesla Model Y.

It also lines up against closely-related cousins within the Volkswagen Group riding on the same 'MEB' platform – the VW ID.4, Cupra Tavascan and Audi Q4 e-tron. Going for the Enyaq Coupe 85 Sportline from $65,990 means you’ll need to fork out another $6000.

Unlike the base 60 Select, the 85 Sportline scores a larger battery at 82kWh for more WLTP range and stronger performance from its electric motor.

The 85 Sportline shares the entry-level Enyaq’s advanced driver-assist systems (ADAS) technologies like autonomous emergency braking (AEB) and adaptive cruise control are included.

There are also seven airbags, a reversing camera, a 13-inch touchscreen display with wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto, a wireless charger, digital radio, heated front seats, three-zone climate control, a powered tailgate, charging cables, a seven-year warranty and an umbrella.

Then the 85 Select brings matrix LED headlights, leather with synthetic-suede trim, powered, heated and massaging front seats, heated rear seats, regenerative-braking paddles on the steering wheel, 20-inch wheels and more.

For goodies like a surround camera view, a head-up display, premium audio, adaptive dampers and 21-inch alloys, you’ll need the Ultimate pack as a $5000 option.

Note that the Enyaq Coupe 85 Sportline adds a glass roof, but the SUV wagon buyer must fork out another $2000 for a panoramic sunroof with sunshade.

Neither versions come with a spare wheel, sadly, just a tyre-repair kit.

The 85 Sportline’s electric motor delivers a healthy 210kW of power and 545Nm of torque, propelling it from zero to 100km/h in 6.7 seconds on the way to a 180km/h top speed. Underneath is MacPherson-strut suspension up front and a multi-link rear end.

The combined energy consumption figure is 15.9kWh/100km on average for the 85 Sportline SUV wagon and 15.5kWh for the Coupe version, due to the latter’s superior aerodynamics. Their WLTP ranges differ as a result, coming in at 547km and 561km, respectively.

Charging to 100 per cent full using a normal power socket could take 40 hours, or about 12 hours with an optional 7.0kW Wallbox, while a 20-80 per cent top-up on a 50kW DC fast charger needs about 80 minutes, or half that with a 100kW charger.
