Video Summary
The Skoda Enyaq is based on the same platform as the Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron.It’s boxy, tall, and has business-class legroom in the back.
The car starts at a lower price, making it one of the cheapest big family EVs.
The top-of-the-range model is fitted with a big battery, 200 horsepower motor, and 21-inch rims, costing £45,400.
Designers played with the ruler.
It's tall, offers a lot of glass with good visibility, and can fit larger people.
There's a lot of fake grill.
Both the 60 and 80 models refer to battery size in kilowatt hours.
The usable capacity is lower; the base is 55 kWh with a best range of 200 miles; the larger 77 kWh one takes the car to over 250 miles.
This is on the lower side compared to the extended range Ford Mustang Mach-E and Tesla Model Y that can go another 100 miles.
The charging port is easy to find, located on the side.
The car only charges at 50 kW DC, but it can be upgraded to 125kW fast charging for an added cost.
The ride is practical, with a lot of space and storage, but lacks 7 seats like Kodiaq models.
The main touchscreen is easy to use, even if it makes the center dash hard to keep clean.
The gimmicks are sensible, including a hidden ice scraper and umbrellas, and headrests with fold-out pillows.
The heaviest car on its platform, it weighs 2121kg, a bit heavier than claimed with its optional extras.
The motor is serene on a motorway. The designers must have taken what they learned from their refined cruisers and put it in this new EV.
Driving controls and the ride itself are forgettable.
But overall, the ride has more features on the options sheet like the Audi Q4 e-tron.
Naught to 60 is around 7.8 sec. which makes it quicker than the ID.4.
According to WLTP laboratory testing, range is 330 miles. In practice, it will be more like 240-250 miles.
This a good, well-packed, well-built sensible family automobile.
The car is not sexy; it is the equivalent of the bum bag.
It is easier to get along with than cars sharing its platform.
It’s unofficially a class leader.
It’s an unassuming white good that might turn people off from buying it.
