Having been a badge snob all my life, its rather refreshing to think that the 3 cars I desire most are a Skoda, a Kia and a Hyundai.

@Hhhh22222-w 2 года назад

@TD1237 2 года назад

I actually grew up loving Hyundai, because the Tiburon was just a gorgeous car. Nowadays my favourites are probably Hyundai, Kia, BMW, Genesis and Aston Martin (design-wise, not that I'll ever own one lol).

@RichardOzanne 2 года назад

Ditto. Coming from Volvo, VW, Porsche etc, I was a bit of a badge snob too. For my next car I was looking at Hyundai, Kia and Skoda EVs. I like the Skoda but the Kia's 7 year warranty won the day.

@ISuperTed 2 года назад

Nice car (I test drove one a while ago) but the car you have here must be pushing £45K with all those options on-board and in Eco-Suite spec. I really liked it when I drove it but financially it didn’t make sense on my company car scheme as surprisingly an Audi Q4 at a similar spec to here was cheaper to lease so I ordered one. I do think though in lower specs it’s good value when compared to other EV’s.

@blckbldng 2 года назад

Audi has better residual value. Thats why lease is cheaper.

I have had this car for six months (IV60) with the black .leather interior and its fab. It's costing me on average £3 to £5 per week in fuel compared to £35 per week in my previous petrol car. Charging is a doddle, drive during the day and stick it on charge 2 or 3 times a week while you sleep for 1 to 4 hours on the Octopus energy cheap rate, get up unplug and go. Takes 2 minutes to pug in and same to plug out. Would I go back to my 2019 plate BMW, nope. I have the pod point charger and you can Programme it to charge when you want or you can tell the car when to accept the charge. The heater is warm within a minute as there is no engine to warm up or you can simply go on the Skoda app and ask it to heat or cool the vehicle or defrost the windows. Love it.

@allistersly834 2 года назад

We have had our 60 for 4 months, great car quality of the ride and finish is excellent. However the range is appalling . Skoda say about 255 range for real world and we get about 150/160. We use it to do school run local runs and commuting so not fast driving, but still rubbish range. Skoda say its because of the winter, but last time i looked we live in UK not Scandinavia so the winters are not that bad, it will be interesting to see if with summer air conditioning it is still as bad! We probably would n't have chosen the Skoda if we had known the range was that bad. Is it the same in the other VW EV's.

@alanwayte432 2 года назад

@nonyanks2510 2 года назад

@Petelmrg 2 года назад

We started to look at this but speccing it is a right pain - and also a pain to the wallet - 100kw charging as an 'extra'? The dealer was an idiot so we didn't bother in the end!

@TomaszJakubKusienicki 2 года назад

The problem with enyaq is not the starting price but how much you have to pay for all the options you need, you should have mentioned the price of the car you are showing us too.

@davidholden2658 2 года назад

I agree, Skoda seem to be going down the Audi route where everything is an optional extra.

@johnmckay1423 2 года назад

Agree on telling actual price for version tested. Skoda's price strategy is partly driven by the EV incentive payment: keep the list price below £35k and get the grant then pay for the extras. Usually annoys me but makes sense in this specific market.

@andimcgaw 2 года назад

Back in 1983 myself and 4 other friends clubbed together and bought our first car which was a Skoda. Fond memories

@oscanil 2 года назад

Thanks for setting up this test Rory, looking forward to see your results down the line. Especially how you find the infotainment system. I've seen loads of clips showing how glitchy and unresponsive the display can be. Is Skoda taking care of that? Does it have OTA? A software issue is generally better than a hardware issue I guess, less hassle to fix.

@Mister_H 2 года назад

If you want to encourage people to take the EV plunge, then it would make a lot more sense to have the entry level model as your long term car.

@magnustan841 2 года назад

It’s already great value, 31k is almost what you pay for a Nissan Leaf with less range. So you get more space and range for your money.

@simonwillgress 2 года назад

But the base model has less range and I’m sure Škoda want positive press. It’s marketing, but you are absolutely right, I have bought the new MGZS which is affordable orable and has decent range.

@Brian-om2hh 2 года назад

Rory won't be able to choose the spec. The manufacturer simply puts a car up to test. Test it or don't test it. It's then up to the reviewer.

@johndoh5182 2 года назад

It wouldn't make sense is they had to buy the vehicle to do it. You can assume this is a loaner, and the company wanted this model to be the loaner.

@SDK2006b 2 года назад

Buying a new car in 2021 is going to cost, especially an EV.

@@GeoffBarlow I agree, but that generates a couple of problems which are prevalent today, 1, people enjoy cars that they can’t afford meaning they are financially stretched, and 2, no one now needs the intelligence to look after the mechanics of the vehicle they have.

@GeoffBarlow 2 года назад

@johnmckay1423 2 года назад

@@GeoffBarlow I've always let someone else take the depreciation hit and then bought for cash and run the car until it's dead. I now have a leased EV - instead of paying >£200 month to a petrol company I'm spending it on a lease. Overall monthly cost is lower and I'm driving a new electric car. I have the luxury of of road parking (so not the experience everyone would have, but something 70% of car owners have) and to my surprise have spent less time charging my car than I used to spend filling with petrol. Even away from home, I usually charge it when I'm doing something else - four mid-journey charges so far in 23,000 miles and 20 months.

@HairyCheese 2 года назад

@MiniEggs1999 2 года назад

I love the tan interior, so much better than the chocolate brown they used to do. I would be interested to know how durable it is. How good are the cooled seats. Also how reliable is the wireless Apple Carplay and the infotainment in general. Does it for instance suffer from the Apple Maps turn direction on the driver display bug that I experienced in a Polo recently where if you make a wrong turn it says recalculating and gets stuck and never recovers until you cancel and start navigation again (main display ok)

@lukerabin5079 2 года назад

Skoda used to have the big claim to fame of more qualified engineers operating the line than any other brand in Europe. No idea if it’s true, but given the unemployment levels in the Czech Republic, it’s not hard to imagine.

@davidsommen1324 2 года назад

Definitely do a head-to-head with the E-GMP cars (IONIQ5/EV6), also taking into account the charging speeds and roadtripping capabilities. On paper the latter seem to have the edge with the faster charging, but I'd like to know more about the real world difference and what the Enyaq might have as advantages they don't, in terms of reliability, practicality, comfort, etc.

@tebitan3780 2 года назад

Well, I test drove the Enyaq and the Ioniq 5 and the Ioniq 5 won out for me in everything. Comfort, space, tech, driving. Only thing the boot of the Enyaq seemed slightly bigger. Anyway the Enyaq IV 80 was for me a total no go.

What I miss in most car reviews is, if the car can could store 3 child seats on the backseat. I know most people don't have three kids, but still. This would be very handy information for people who do, and are in search for a new car just like me. A car where you could place 3 child seats in is hard to find. Could you test this?

@SuperMauricem 2 года назад

Skoda is no longer the “joke” vehicle and is shaking off that stigma of previous poorly built models nicely with the help of the parent company VW. This appears to be a really good alternative to others on the market but for me the price point still needs to come down to align with similar petrol vehicles

@Brian-om2hh 2 года назад

Far from a joke these days Maurice. I've owned 4 Skodas in the last 20 years. Every bit as solid and well built as a VW... And yes, at the moment prices are a little higher than petrol or diesel equivalents, but the savings on running costs over, say, 3 or 4 years will make that difference up - and probably more - easily......

let's be clear about it...if Enyaq would have 2.0 TDI fitted instead of electric engine it would be the best seller for VW Group :-)...beautiful car...even tough ID 4, Q4 and Enyaq are essentially the same car underneath, Enyaq looks the best in my opinion...

@SurfarenTM 2 года назад

Please test everything related to charging very thoroughly. Many car channels still haven't learned that charging can be a very different experience from filling up a petrol car. As potential buyers we want to know more than just theoretical charging speed and how long it takes to get to 80% (on paper). Will the car help me find a decent charging site that actually works, has enough juice and isn't the most expensive in the country? Does the car estimate range properly? Does it precondition the battery before arriving to a fast charging station? Will it piss me off by not managing to start charging 4 times out of 10? Etcetera. We don't all want to watch Bjorn Nyland to get this info.

@mistertee5000 2 года назад

One of the best looking EVs out there. I wish VW would launch Skoda (and also Cupra) in North America.

@Brian-om2hh 2 года назад

Start demanding they do just that, and you never know, it could just happen...... They already have a servicing/spares network in place - VW.... Skoda, Cupra and Seat all use VW engines, gearboxes and other components.... In fact I once removed the Skoda badge from my engine cover, and there was a VW badge underneath it..... almost all hoses and belts were still stamped with the VW logo.

@pato10111 2 года назад

Compared to its competitors I think they cheaped out with the front and rear lights. No light bars. The front grill also looks rubbish. Something in a similar finish to the Q4 would have worked better. Side profile is the best of the lot though.

@tonypoch 2 года назад

We’re a family of 5 with 2x 16 year olds and 1x 17, our main issue with cars is the seating. There’s only the MPV like C4 Picasso that seam to cater to our needs. I really want a EV but I cannot afford Model X prices!

@Brian-om2hh 2 года назад

Tony. My first thought was a Skoda Superb Estate Plug In Hybrid, Capable of covering around 30 miles on battery power alone, even at motorway speeds. The Superb is truly cavernous in the rear. Very few cars beat the Superb for rear leg room. Gotta be worth a look.... Charge that battery up at every opportunity, and your fuel (petrol) consumption will be surprisingly low.

Makes not much sense to me, maybe for lower specs. This car is 45k ish and that is pretty much Q4 etron money, I think OTRP for my Q4 40 was about 48k. Plus not much difference for me as bought privately rather than car work scheme. Bigger for sure but I think the back looks a bit MPV like compared to the Q4. For sure a bit more space but not that much in it.
