New Skoda Enyaq; Electric Car; Family car; Good Value for money: New Skoda Enyaq Review & Road Test

The Skoda Enyaq iV is a good sized fully electric SUV with a couple of battery options and motor outputs. As an SUV, it's good looking, extremely comfortable and very reasonably priced for what you get as standard. This car will definitely meet the expectations of the public's insatiable appetite for SUVs. Even as an electric SUV, it's hard not to be impressed with the Skoda Enyaq's all-round ability and most buyers will find its all they will ever need from a family car of this type. It's also visually more appealing than some of the competition, like the the Volkswagen ID.4 and it definitely looks a lot classier than the Kia e-Niro. On another positive note, the anticipated range is reassuringly accurate, which is great for those thinking of using it as a daily commute.
The Skoda Enyaq is very well put together. It not only looks and sits well on the road, but with up to 21" rims fitted with low profile tyres it has a commanding road presence. Theres a decent choice of interiors such as Loft, Suite, Lounge, ecoSuite or Lodge and there are also plenty of option packages you can add including; Comfort Seat, Family, Climate, Convenience, Transport, Infotainment, Light and View, Chrome, Drive, Assisted Drive, and Parking.
Overall the Skoda Enyaq iV is superb value for money, remarkably about the same price as a top end Renault Zoe. It outperforms most of its rivals and has massive kerb appeal. If I was to consider an electric car the Skoda Enyaq would be at the very top of my test drive list.

Hello @AJThePlayer, thank you for your comprehensive review. 👏We appreciate it and we're always interested in hearing what people think about the ENYAQ iV.💚

[@AJThePlayerYouTubeChannel]

Thanks for the comment always appreciated

[@juanwong5033]

Very good review and very thourough!!! I enjoyed your enthusiasm and passion for showing off this vehicle. Many thanks.

[@danielscullion955]

Really thorough and detailed review , excellent thank you

[@TheJeroenm]

This is really (and I have watched a lot) one of the best reviews I have seen. Thank you!

[@AJThePlayerYouTubeChannel]

thanks for the comment, appreciated

[@michaelwhite6461]

Pretty much all your issues with the boot are solved by one of the upgrades - it adds an additional floor to the boot space which can be adjusted to get rid of the load lip and the step up on the back of the seats. It also has a frame underneath for storing the parcel blind.

[@sorensenhenrik]

Thanks for the review, really informative! 👍👍👍

[@yusselfaveljl]

Excellent presentation. Thank you.

[@karnbass]

Good review 👍

[@dorsetandy3873]

A very comprehensive and interesting review. The difference between the 60 & 80 versions is around £7k, taking into account the UK Govt. Grant on sub £35k EVs. So the extra range does come at a considerable cost and one reason have opted for the IV60! The £300 remote release rear option also includes a variable boot floor, enabling a flat load if that is important.

[@AJThePlayerYouTubeChannel]

Thanks for the comment, appreciated.

[@francescomisuraca6277]

Great family car.

[@stephenmcwilliam6519]

Love the review ,but the only thing id criticise is you lifted the bonnet and said you can see tjhe motors but surely its motor is in the rear??

[@martingadsby9629]

I ordered an 80x sportline with pretty much fully loaded, early August, picking it up this Thursday 2nd December 😀😀. I believe the factory closed for a couple of weeks to finish 6000 part build cars they had in storage , so hopefully your cars will be with you soon.

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

I ordered 80X standard version because i don't like stiff chassis 6 week ago and dealer said it will take 51 week to deliver.

[@sl7408]

Page 238 of the manual show you store the boot cover under the floor cover.

[@michealhennessy9157]

Lots of specification is shown in the manual but they are not all standard. I have an Enyaq and can assure you there is no dedicated place for the boot cover under the floor. There is only a flap near the back which covers the well with the charging cable.

[@AJThePlayerYouTubeChannel]

Thanks for the comment

[@niptodstan]

You missed the pull down sections of the rear headrests. The pull down to hold your head if you doze off.

[@Lensman3333]

Hi, I enjoyed your review, thank you. I have ordered a SKODA Enyaq 60 SUITE (Purely because of the large boot space). A few points 1. Cup Holders are to small. 2. The horn is just so Beepy and rubbish sounding. 3. The Front Indicators are NOT LED, that is such a penny pinching exercise. 4. The car is poorly specified NO Front Parking Sensors and Rear Camera on the 60 and Power Tailgate and Blind Spot Detection is extra on 60/80. Good Luck.

[@hannahmeyer4967]

An absolute top in electric SUV cars!!👍👍👍

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

Great video AJ - Thanks A very informative and comprehensive review. One query: I thought the 'parcel shelf slide' slotted into a section under the boot floor? Have I got that wrong?

[@AJThePlayerYouTubeChannel]

On the vehicle we were given to test there wasn’t any space to fit the parcel shelf. Thanks for the comment appreciated

[@GlasshouseandGarden]

@@AJThePlayerKZbinChannel That’s a pain. I agree it’s needed.

[@Notagain640]

The parcel shelf/blind has a dedicated pocket to fit in under the floor of the boot. It packs away perfectly without taking up boot space or passenger space. Please do a little research before criticising.

[@michealhennessy9157]

There is only a dedicated place under the boot floor If you’ve specked the “ Transport Pack” PKP

[@robertshears8385]

Looks like reversing it would need that rear view camera, the boot really could have been arranged for a spare tyre and jack, the batteries could be shaped to accommodate this. "you need to fit run flats!!!! Are 21 inch wheels really necessary? Too much attention is spent on wheel size for nowadays. Is the car on reserve because it is so popular or because nearly all current cars have reduced production due to chip shortages. I am loathe to consider buying an EV at the moment until someone builds a truly simply clever car.

[@johnhodge1263]

Waiting for charging infrastructure to cover demand.

[@ianweatherstone5842]

Rear camera is part of the optional parking pack and not standard unfortunately.

[@AJThePlayerYouTubeChannel]

Great comment thanks

[@TonyParkinson]

It's an option on the 60, but 80 and above get it as standard

[@niptodstan]

I read recently that the brake pads are supposed to last the life of the car.

[@SBKPete]

What a fantastic review. Really well presented 👏🏻 You’re right, that colour is beautiful. Can you remember what it was called?

[@jamesobrien9072]

Artic silver is the colour

[@SBKPete]

@@jamesobrien9072 Thank you James 🙏🏻

Electric cars to save the planet so we shall charge people about 30-40k for 1.

What are you saving money for? Nicer coffin maybe?
