Kia EV5 vs Škoda Enyaq

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Kia EV5 has the higher published DC charging figure at 150 kW, which is roughly 11% higher than the Škoda Enyaq at 135 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Škoda Enyaq is listed at about 28 minutes, which is 2 minutes quicker than the Kia EV5 at 30 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Škoda Enyaq has a WLTP rated range of approximately 586 km, which is roughly 56 km more than the Kia EV5 at approximately 530 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Škoda Enyaq consumes 169 Wh/km, compared to 169 Wh/km for the Kia EV5. That means the Škoda Enyaq uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Škoda Enyaq has approximately 77 kWh of useable battery , while the Kia EV5 has approximately 78 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

The Kia EV5 has the higher published DC figure at up to 150 kW, but the Škoda Enyaq has the shorter published charge time at approximately 28 minutes versus approximately 30 minutes. On road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

Both cars have similar efficiency at 169 Wh/km, so daily charging costs should be comparable.

For maximum range between charges, the Škoda Enyaq has a WLTP rated range of approximately 586 km, which is roughly 56 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
