Skoda Enyaq iV
Weaknesses, engine ratings and buying advice
Engine Overview
The Skoda Enyaq iV is available with 3 engine variants — from 148 to 340 hp.
MEB platform motor with 150 kW peak power in the Enyaq iV 60/80 — the electric motor itself is considered robust, but the surrounding electronics (infotainment, software stack) cause frequent complaints. The early 2021 build series was affected by an HV battery service case involving LG Chem cells.
- !! HV battery service measure (LG Chem cells)
Voluntary service measure 93P7 (from Sep. 2022): individual LG Chem cells in model-year-2021 vehicles showed elevated self-discharge. Skoda inspects and replaces affected modules; no fire risk, but risk of premature capacity degradation.
Symptoms: Sudden power drop for 2–3 seconds, unexplained range loss, battery fault message on dashboard. - !! Software instability and system crashes from 10,000 km
Infotainment freezes, Travel Assist cuts out unexpectedly, state-of-charge display fails, online connection drops daily. Software updates often fix old bugs at the cost of introducing new ones. No cost under warranty, but significant loss of comfort.
Symptoms: Infotainment restart required, driver assistance systems report faults, range display missing, charge management via app not working. - ! Rear axle hum at 100–105 km/h from 30,000 km
Several Enyaq iV owners report a humming or droning noise from the rear axle at 100–105 km/h — likely reduction gear bearings or wheel bearings. Individual cases documented from as little as 7,500 km.
Symptoms: Steady hum or drone in the 100–110 km/h speed range, independent of road surface and weather, especially when coasting off throttle.
MEB platform dual-motor drivetrain in the Enyaq iV 80x/vRS with one electric motor per axle. Mechanically fundamentally sound; known weak points are software maturity, 12V electrical system and driveshafts.
- !! HV battery cell fault (service action 93P7) from 30,000 km
Premature failure of individual LG Chem battery cells leads to deactivation of the high-voltage battery. Skoda launched service action 93P7 for inspection and cell replacement where required. Mainly 2021 build year affected.
Symptoms: Sudden brief power loss (2–3 seconds no drive), HV battery warning, vehicle must be recovered - !! Software instability in driver assistance and infotainment from 10,000 km
The MEB operating system on early Enyaq generations suffers from buggy software: Travel Assist disables itself spontaneously, infotainment freezes, navigation responds sluggishly.
Symptoms: Travel Assist deactivates unexpectedly while driving, touchscreen freezes, navigation unresponsive, smartphone connectivity drops - !! 12V battery premature failure from 50,000 km
The 12V auxiliary battery on the MEB platform fails unusually early on a portion of the Enyaq fleet. Low voltage can result in no gear being selectable other than N.
Symptoms: No gear selectable after charging, 12V supply fault message, vehicle cannot be driven

Vehicle Weaknesses
| Weakness | Cost | |
|---|---|---|
| Travel Assist and driver assistance systems fail suddenly Travel Assist deactivates while driving without warning. In the worst case all driver assistance systems fail simultaneously: Lane Assist, blind-spot warning, FrontAssist and distance radar. Symptoms: Message 'Please drive carefully, driver assistance systems unavailable', dashboard shows multiple warning lights simultaneously, Travel Assist cancels regulation. from 25,000 km | Medium | |
| High-voltage battery: premature cell degradation (service campaign 93P7) Early 2021 model year vehicles show elevated cell degradation in the high-voltage battery. Skoda initiated service campaign 93P7 for proactive cell module replacement. Symptoms: Reduced range, 'Electronics problem' fault message, vehicle can no longer be charged, total HV battery failure. from 50,000 km | High | |
| MIB3 infotainment: crashes, freezes, malfunctions The MIB3 infotainment system is a persistent source of issues: touchscreen freezes, navigation responds sluggishly, system crashes while driving. Software updates sometimes introduce new faults. Symptoms: Black or frozen screen, 10-second restart required, navigation aborts, climate control and parking sensors unavailable. from 15,000 km | High | |
| OTA software updates introduce new faults Over-the-air updates have been repeatedly delayed and introduced new faults after installation: HUD failure, seat heating unavailable, lane-keeping assist requires double confirmation to deactivate. Symptoms: Head-up display not working after update, seat heating unresponsive, lane assist hard to deactivate, performance slowdown. from 20,000 km | Low | |
| AC and DC charging interruptions — vehicle does not charge through AC charging stops after a few minutes although charge limit and care mode are correctly configured. DC charging stops spontaneously before reaching full charge and unlocks the cable independently. Symptoms: Charging starts but stops after 5–20 minutes for no apparent reason, fault message at charge point, cable unlocks itself. from 20,000 km | High |
Test Reports
TÜV Report 2026
The Enyaq performs worse than average at its first MOT inspection. The main problem is the braking system, which leads to a significant fault finding on around one in ten vehicles.
2025-11ADAC breakdown statistics 2024
In the breakdown statistics the Enyaq presents a significantly better picture than at the MOT. The model stands out positively in the mid-size segment with low breakdown rates.
