Here, we’ll explain Skoda’s electrification plans including its current electric cars, and what the brand is doing in the future.

What electric cars does Skoda make now?
The only one currently on sale is the Enyaq (and its Enyaq Coupe derivative), which is a sharp-looking and practical crossover that fully utilises the VW Group MEB platform. It’s a car we rate highly for its practicality and smooth drive. The range also includes Skoda’s first electric vRS model.
In the past, Skoda also sold the Citigo iV – a small electric city car.
Skoda’s future EVs revealed
The range will start to expand in 2024. A new compact SUV named the Elroq (pictured above) will launch to replace the Karoq that year, measuring 4.5m long and featuring a ‘spacious, very practical interior,’ according to Skoda.
Then, the next new car (currently only codenamed ‘Small’) will arrive. This will be Skoda’s new EV supermini, utilising the MEB Entry platform like VW’s ID.2 and the Cupra UrbanRebel. Like VW, Skoda is targeting a €25k entry price for the model and says it’ll replace the Scala, and it will be built in a VW Group plant in Spain.
After that, Skoda says the Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe will be facelifted in 2025. The updated Enyaq will take design inspiration from the Vision 7S concept car (which we’ve driven for real), including its new ‘Modern Solid’ design philosophy. On top of that, Johannes Neft announced that the updated Enyaq would feature ‘enhanced battery pre-conditioning, an upgraded HMI and improved battery management.’
And it wouldn’t be Skoda without an estate in the line-up. Skoda has also confirmed that there will be an all-electric wagon (pictured above, nicknamed ‘Combi’) launching in 2026, and an all-electric model around the size of the Kodiaq SUV (pictured below) will arrive the same year. Skoda says this will be the production version of the Vision 7S.
