Skoda Auto has reached a significant milestone in its e-mobility strategy, announcing the production of 200,000 units of the Enyaq and Enyaq Coupé models. The 200,000th vehicle, a white Enyaq Coupé Sportline, rolled off the production line on 16 February. The Enyaq line continues to evolve with enhancements in the current model year, including more powerful and efficient drivetrains, increased range, faster charging, and new software with an upgraded user interface.
Looking forward, Skoda Auto plans to reinforce its commitment to e-mobility with the world premiere of the new Elroq later this year. The Elroq, an all-electric compact SUV, will kick off an ambitious campaign that will see the introduction of six new electric models over the coming years, completing Skoda’s fully electric lineup.

Andreas Dick, Skoda Auto Board Member for Production and Logistics, commented on the milestone, stating, “The Enyaq has been at the forefront of our e-mobility campaign, and its success demonstrates that we are on the right path with our strategy. Last year, it was the fourth best-selling electric vehicle series in Europe, achieving a record-breaking global sales figure of 81,700 units, a 52.1% increase over 2022. This achievement underscores our commitment to expanding our electric vehicle range to a total of six new models in the coming years.”
The Enyaq, Skoda Auto’s first model series based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB), led to a 32 million euro investment to convert and adapt the production line at its main plant in Mladá Boleslav to produce both MEB and combustion engine-based MQB models. The Enyaq’s success extends beyond its emissions-free operation, as it is also delivered to customers with a carbon-neutral balance sheet.

In the Czech Republic, the Enyaq and Enyaq Coupé have captured a quarter of the electric vehicle market share, making it the most popular electric series domestically. It also leads in Slovakia with over 17% market share and ranks as the second top-selling BEV in Estonia, Finland, Austria, and Switzerland.
The 2024 model year introduces significant upgrades, with the Enyaq 85, 85x, and RS models featuring more powerful and efficient electric motors on the rear axle, along with a new software version that brings a more intuitive user interface. These enhancements, along with other technical advancements, improve range, optimize charging efficiency, and enable battery pre-heating for better performance with DC chargers. The Enyaq family offers a maximum range of over 560 kilometers for the SUV version and more than 570 kilometers for the Coupé version, with reduced charging times from 10 to 80% in under 30 minutes for both variants.
Skoda Auto is committed to advancing its e-mobility strategy, investing 5.6 billion euros by 2027. The company has also increased its MEB battery production capacity to 1,500 units daily by setting up a new production line in December 2023. With the launch of the all-electric Elroq, Skoda will expand its BEV portfolio as it enters the crucial battery-electric compact SUV segment.
