New Skoda Enyaq Laurin & Klement 2026: Electric Luxury to Challenge the Tesla Model Y

The Czech SUV dresses up in style with a more exclusive and high-tech version. The new Skoda Enyaq Laurin & Klement 2026 targets the premium segment head-on, taking on rivals like the Tesla Model Y and the Mercedes-Benz EQC.

The Skoda Enyaq gets sophisticated to conquer the premium market

Skoda refuses to be left behind in the race for the most refined electric SUV. Its new Enyaq 2026 arrives with the Laurin & Klement trim, a historic name that has always represented the pinnacle of Skoda luxury. Measuring 4.65 meters in length, it slots just below models such as the BMW iX3 or the Mercedes-Benz EQC, but its true goal is clear: to steal customers from the Tesla Model Y, particularly its most affordable version.

More exclusivity: design, materials, and technology

The Skoda Enyaq Laurin & Klement will be available in both standard and Coupé body styles, standing out with premium details such as Matrix LED headlights, 21-inch anthracite alloy wheels, special badging, and an illuminated front grille. Inside, craftsmanship takes center stage with beige leather upholstery, electric, heated, and ventilated seats with massage and memory functions, a CANTON sound system, and a three-zone climate control setup — all tailored to take on the German premium trio.

High-end features with a technological soul

The Enyaq L&K 2026 comes loaded with advanced features: Head-up Display, 360º panoramic vision, hands-free electric tailgate, adaptive DCC suspension, progressive steering, and semi-autonomous driving capability. It even includes a standard heat pump to improve efficiency in cold climates — something many electric rivals lack. Skoda’s attention to detail also extends to rear side airbags and an electric tow hitch, underlining its commitment to comfort and safety.

Power, range, and prices that aim high

Under the hood, the Enyaq Laurin & Klement 2026 features a 210 kW (286 hp) electric motor, available in rear-wheel drive (Enyaq 85) and all-wheel drive (Enyaq 85x) variants. In its standard form, it offers up to 560 km of range (WLTP), or 528 km in AWD configuration — impressive figures for a mid-size SUV of its class.

Premium price… or a real threat to the Tesla Model Y?

Prices for the Skoda Enyaq Laurin & Klement 2026 start at €58,900, rising to €61,350 for the 4×4 version and €63,850 for the Coupé AWD, even surpassing the RS 340 hp performance model. With this version, Skoda sends a clear message: it’s ready to compete directly with Tesla, BMW, and Mercedes, proving that luxury can also have a Czech accent — and that electric refinement doesn’t have to come with a six-figure price tag.
