Skoda Enyaq Coupe Interior Layout & Technology
Skoda insists that practicality hasn't been harmed by the swoopy roofline – the boot is a mere 15 litres smaller (570 litres plays 585), and there's only a small difference in rear headroom thanks to the panoramic glass roof, which comes as standard. Generous.
It's standard Skoda fare inside the car, though with a bit of added glamour for this 'sporty' Coupe. You get the usual array of Simply Clever touches, which includes the umbrella in the driver's door and ice scraper squirrelled away in the tailgate.
What's the tech like?
Behind the steering wheel is a small 5in digital instrument panel which displays speed, charge, trip and adaptive cruise control info (not all at once), which is simple and clear to read. But the graphics aren't as slick as we've seen in rival cars.
In the centre of the dash lies the 13in touchscreen that mostly works well. At the top of the screen sits a row of customisable shortcuts (two taps is all it takes to turn off the pesky speed limit assist), while quick access to the climate controls/heated seats is via a permanently displayed band that runs across the bottom.
The Enyaq is the least affected by the VW Group's weird obsession with touchscreen controls, but you'll still prefer to use the steering wheel buttons/scrollers to change volume rather than the touch sensitive slider underneath the screen, for instance.
It does get a few physical buttons, but there's no apparent logic to those that Skoda has opted to keep: no direct climate controls, but rather a shortcut button that takes you to the right touchscreen sub-menu, as well as routes through to the safety assistance menus and parking help. Too many functions need you to delve into the touchscreen, if you ask us.

Honda Won't Like The Horsepower On This New VW GTI
Volkswagen is turning heads with its 2026 Golf GTI Edition 50 Volkswagen has revealed the 2026 Golf GTI Edition 50—and it more than gives Honda's Civic Type R a run for its money. The Golf GTI Edition 50 features 321 horsepower, six more than the Civic Type R and just seven less horsepower than a Golf R. This special edition Volkswagen also boasts 310 lb-ft of torque, matching the Civic Type R. While horsepower is an essential component of the Golf GTI Edition 50 and Civic Type R rivalry, it doesn't tell the whole story. Let's take a closer look at these two vehicles' performance to more clearly illustrate where each model stands. 0:04 / 0:09 Audi A5 replaces A4: So, what's changed? Watch More Performance spotlight: Golf GTI Edition 50 vs Civic Type R The Golf GTI Edition 50 is Volkswagen's fastest production Golf to date in track performance, completing the world-famous Nordschleife circuit in seven minutes and 46 seconds. However, the 2025 Civic Type R set a Nordschleife front-wheel drive (FWD) record with a lap time of seven minutes and 44.881 seconds. Honda's Civic Type R comes standard with high-performance summer tires providing excellent grip, but they're not the Golf GTI Edition 50's optional full semi-slicks. The GTI's semi-slick Bridgestone Potenza Race tires, combined with its available adapted suspension mounts, likely offer a higher ultimate grip threshold, especially in dry conditions. This Volkswagen's optional GTI-Performance package, which includes the Bridgestone Potenza Race tires, also comes with 19-inch Warmenau (associated with Volkswagen's R division) forged wheels and a lightweight R-Performance exhaust system with a rear titanium silencer. The Golf GTI Edition 50 further optimizes front grip and agility with stiffer springs, making for a more track-like ride feel, while the Civic Type R's adaptive damper system better balances daily and track driving. The Civic Type R's broader range of adjustability could've been the primary factor causing it to edge out the Golf GTI Edition 50 at Nordschleife, given the track's long, complex design. Golf GTI Edition 50 vs GR Corolla Toyota's GR Corolla is right in the hot hatch mix alongside models like the Civic Type R, but it offers less horsepower and torque than its Honda and Volkswagen competitors, with 300 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque. The GR Corolla also hasn't logged an official lap time at Nordschleife, but it offers standard AWD for those not interested in the Golf GTI Edition 50 and Civic Type R's FWD configuration. While pricing info hasn't yet been released for the Golf GTI Edition 50, the GR Corolla is a better bargain, starting at $40,055 compared to the Civic Type R's $47,045 base MSRP.

Volkswagen Golf GTI — Source: Volkswagen Final thoughts Production of the exclusive Volkswagen Golf GTI Edition 50 is scheduled to begin in Wolfsburg, Germany, at the end of 2025, with deliveries starting in early 2026. While the Civic Type R has Nordschleife lap bragging rights, the Golf GTI Edition 50's higher horsepower, near-equivalent track time, and optional performance package supply this Volkswagen with extra cachet, amplifying the models' rivalry. The Golf GTI Edition 50 also outperformed the Golf R 20th Anniversary edition's Nurburgring lap time of seven minutes and 47.31 seconds, Volkswagen's previous record production pace achieved in 2022.

Audi May Take Drastic Action To Dodge Tariffs
German Media Fears Massive Costs The ongoing uncertainty around how bad tariffs may get ahead of the July 9 deadline for agreement, for European automakers in particular, is no reason to stay idle. Regardless of what the final impact will be, tariffs aren't going anywhere anytime soon, and according to German magazine Der Spiegel, Audi is considering building a production facility somewhere in the southern U.S. to minimize the effects. But it's not an easy call to make. As noted by Automotive News, building a plant here would be 'the more expensive option out of a number of scenarios being considered, with company sources estimating costs of up to €4 billion (approximately $4.6 billion). So will it happen anyway? An Audi spokesperson has confirmed that the automaker intends to build its U.S. presence, but that's typical non-committal public relations speak. 0:04 / 0:09 Walmart is selling a 'heavy duty' $89 step ladder for $48, and shoppers say it's 'sturdy and secure' Watch More Audi Will Make A Decision This Year, Probably Source:'We are currently examining various scenarios for this. We are confident that we will make a decision this year in consultation with the [Volkswagen] Group on how this will look in concrete terms,' the spokesperson wrote in an email. Audi has been rumored to be examining the viability of a U.S. plant for several years, but up until now, the automaker has been performing relatively well in America, although Audi's 2024 sales showed a sharp year-on-year decline of 14%, indicating that changes must be made somewhere, regardless of current or future tariff measures. To help effect that change, Audi is working on a fresh new design language, and U.S. manufacturing (or at least assembly) may help future arrivals find broader appeal with competitive pricing. BMW has been producing cars in South Carolina since 1994, and in those 30-odd years, it's grown to become the largest automotive exporter by value in the U.S. Perhaps Audi would benefit from a similar approach. Where Audi Could Put Down Roots As part of the Volkswagen Group, Audi wouldn't necessarily have to start from scratch. The VW brand operates a plant in Chattanooga, Tennessee, where the ID.4 EV and the Atlas and Atlas Cross Sport SUVs are produced, and its Scout Motors brand is building one in Columbia, South Carolina. But that's it – Porsche won't be moving production to America because its sales volumes would not justify such extensive investment, and its customer base is not unused to absorbing exorbitant price increases. As we noted earlier, Audi hasn't made a decision yet because it's exploring other options. One of those reportedly is to negotiate a tariff import deal with the U.S. government, which compatriot automakers BMW, Mercedes-Benz, and VW are said to be collaboratively pursuing alongside the Ingolstadt-based manufacturer. BMW and Mercedes are the only exporters in this group, but all have made significant investments in the U.S. About the Author Sebastian Cenizo View Profile
