Škoda Reveals Most Powerful Enyaq Yet with New RS Models

Published on 12 May, 2025

All-electric performance meets everyday practicality in Škoda’s fastest and most advanced EVs to date

Overview

Škoda has completed its Enyaq line-up with two high-performance RS models: the Enyaq RS and Enyaq Coupé RS. Both variants deliver serious performance, everyday range, and a host of clever features — all wrapped up in Škoda’s new Modern Solid design language.

With dual motors, all-wheel drive, and a combined output of 250 kW (340 hp), these are now the brand’s fastest production cars — accelerating from 0–100 km/h in just 5.4 seconds. An 84 kWh battery (net 79 kWh) offers WLTP ranges of over 560 km for the RS and 570 km for the Coupé RS.

Charging is equally rapid, with 185 kW DC capability enabling a 10–80% top-up in just 26 minutes. New to this generation is bidirectional charging, which means the car can now feed energy back into your home — ideal for smart energy users.

Visually, both RS models feature Škoda’s new Tech-Deck Face, black RS trim, and large 21-inch alloy wheels. Matrix LED headlights, aerodynamic updates, and sport chassis tuning give the Enyaq RS a sharper and more confident look and feel.

Inside, the Enyaq RS brings upgraded RS Lounge and RS Suite interiors, with suede or leather sports seats, massage and memory functions, and contrast stitching. A 13-inch central display, 5-inch digital cockpit, and optional augmented reality head-up display bring the latest in digital tech. As always, Škoda adds its trademark Simply Clever features — including four USB-C ports, wireless charging, and an electric tailgate with virtual pedal.

On the safety front, you’ll find the full suite of advanced assistance systems, including Travel Assist, Emergency Assist, and Remote Park Assist, which lets you control parking from your smartphone using the MyŠkoda app.

These new models also mark a milestone in Škoda’s RS journey, which began 25 years ago with the Octavia RS and now continues into the EV era — with over 21,000 RS electric vehicles sold so far.

The new Enyaq RS and Enyaq Coupé RS are expected to arrive in Ireland this September, with final prices and specifications to be confirmed closer to launch.
