Skoda has updated its popular electric SUVs, Elroq and Enyaq, for the 2026 model year. Both models get practical improvements, like a frunk and bidirectional charging, as well as a completely revamped infotainment system. The updated Elroq and Enyaq will launch in mid-2026.
The Skoda Enyaq was one of the most popular electric SUVs in Europe before being overtaken by its little brother, the Elroq, launched in early 2025. Both models are based on VW’s MEB platform and share many parts. This means Skoda could give both electric SUVs a comprehensive update to make life on board easier.
New Android infotainment
To start with, the Skoda Enyaq and Elroq are getting an all-new infotainment system, based on Android. This system has been making its way into most MEB models, including the updated Cupra Born, and offers a more intuitive layout and the ability to install third-party apps.
The built-in navigation system now also supports Powerpass, Skoda’s charging service, including pricing and charging-station availability.
Along with the new digital experience, the MySkoda app has also been updated with more functions. It shows more driving data, including energy consumption, and can now also be used as a digital key. Owners can also share their vehicle key through the Apple and Google Wallet.
Frunk, V2L, and one-pedal driving
But perhaps more importantly, the Skoda Elroq and Enyaq for 2026 are also more practical than ever. Under the hood, there’s now a 21-liter frunk, which opens via gas struts for easy access. Inside, the wireless charger for your phone now fast-charges up to 25 W.
Both models now also support V2L (vehicle-to-load) via a standard 230-V socket in the trunk or an adapter for the charging port. Finally, drivers can now enjoy one-pedal driving thanks to a second level of brake regen in the ‘B’ driving mode, which brings the car to a complete stop when you release the accelerator.
Improved safety systems and a new entry-level LFP battery
In addition to technological changes, hardware improvements are also planned for the 2026 Skoda Enyaq and Elroq. Both models get extra corner radars on the front and rear bumpers, improving Travel Assist 3.0 and Crossroad Assist.
Plus, a new interior camera (which becomes mandatory in the EU from this summer) monitors driver attention via eye tracking.
Finally, the Skoda Elroq and Enyaq 60 base models get a new LFP battery. It’s the same unit introduced recently in the Ford Explorer and Capri, with a net capacity of 58 kWh.
It offers slightly less capacity and charging speed than the old NMC unit, but should last longer and is cheaper to boot. But we’ll have to see whether that also translates into lower starting prices for Skoda’s electric SUVs.
