The Enyaq L&K 85, in particular, introduces a 210-kilowatt (282-horsepower) powertrain. It's noteworthy that both the rear-wheel drive and all-wheel drive versions of this trim level boast the same maximum power output, indicating some software optimization to limit the performance of the dual-motor AWD variant. Previously, the Enyaq 80 featured a 150 kW (201 hp) motor.
Significantly, the Enyaq L&K comes equipped with a larger battery pack, enabling an extended driving range of up to 570 kilometers (354 miles) according to the WLTP cycle. This surpasses the previous Enyaq 80 version, which offered a range of 544 km (338 miles).
The enhancements made to the powertrain translate into improved acceleration, with the new rear-wheel drive Enyaq capable of reaching 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 6.7 seconds—a reduction of nearly two seconds.

Moreover, Skoda's EVs benefit from a battery preheating system that contributes to shorter charging times. It takes only 30 minutes to charge from 10 to 80 percent state of charge (SoC). The battery preheating function can be manually activated through the car's main infotainment display or automatically triggered based on data from the navigation system when the vehicle is en route to a fast-charging station.
The Enyaq Laurin & Klement boasts an extended list of standard features, including the distinctive Crystal Face grille illuminated by 131 LEDs, full LED matrix headlights, 20-inch wheels, leather upholstery, ventilated and massaging front seats, and L&K badging both inside and outside the vehicle. Additionally, it features Platinum Grey accents on the exterior and an updated user interface for the infotainment system with a revised menu structure.
Skoda plans to drop the "iV" suffix from the names of all its EVs following the launch of the Enyaq L&K trim level. The name of this variant pays homage to Skoda's founders, Václav Laurin and Václav Klement.
