Skoda introduces Elroq and Enyaq updates with V2L and digital features

Skoda presents updates for Elroq and Enyaq, adding V2L power supply, digital key access, improved infotainment and new driver assistance systems. Learn more.

Skoda is effectively turning its electric vehicles into mobile power sources: the updated Elroq and Enyaq can now supply energy to external devices — from laptops to coffee machines — directly from the car’s battery. This V2L capability becomes one of the defining features of the new model year, with production set to begin in mid-2026.

But the update is not limited to a single feature. The electric vehicles receive a whole set of improvements that affect everyday use. A new 21-litre front trunk appears under the bonnet, designed primarily for storing charging cables. It is a small but practical solution: cables no longer take up space in the main luggage compartment and are always easily accessible.

At the same time, Skoda is strengthening the digital side of its vehicles. The Elroq and Enyaq can now be unlocked and started using a smartphone, while the digital key can be shared with other users. Support for the Digital Key standard, developed by the Car Connectivity Consortium, is already widely used in the industry and implemented in millions of vehicles, which explains the choice of this solution.

The vehicle interface is also evolving. The updated infotainment system has been redesigned so that key functions — climate control, heating, navigation — are quicker and more intuitive to access. The Powerpass application is now integrated directly into the navigation system: it displays charging stations, allows filtering and managing preferences, including Plug & Charge. The network itself now includes around one million charging points, reflecting the rapid growth of EV infrastructure in Europe.

Driving experience is changing as well. The one-pedal driving mode now offers two levels of regenerative braking, with the stronger setting capable of bringing the vehicle to a complete stop without using the brake pedal. This approach is widely used in electric vehicles and helps return part of the energy back to the battery while reducing wear on the braking system.

The updates are complemented by new driver assistance systems. The Travel Assist 3.0 package features refined sensors and radars, as well as an interior camera that monitors driver attention. This is a further development of existing assistance systems, similar to those used by other manufacturers, where automation remains supportive and still requires driver control.

Attention has also been paid to everyday comfort. The cabin now includes more powerful wireless charging with Qi2 support and magnetic positioning, improving charging stability and ease of use. The vehicle has also improved its lighting logic, now distinguishing not only between day and night, but also twilight.

Most of these changes are directly linked to user feedback. As a result, the Elroq and Enyaq receive not just a single standout feature, but a comprehensive update — from charging and storage to interface and driver assistance systems. This reflects how electric vehicles are gradually becoming more versatile products, where not only battery specifications matter, but also everyday usability.
