SKODA ENYAQ: Six month farewell report. Still the perfect family car? | Electrifying.com

[@TubbyMTB]

The answer to the cup holder problem is simple. Lift the centre plastic holder out of the base, it has three slots on the back, replace it either on the left or right hand slot, making one space larger for ‘large’ cups, and the other space smaller. Easy as that

[@Lensman3333]

Thank You, however if there are two people in the car it does not work.

[@janatlmb2770]

Ski hutch is the reason why I have bought skoda. As I do ski quite often. But also other long thikngs that you may want to transport and still fit four people comfortably. Like tools hokey sticks you name it. Nice review,, mdm. My advice: get smaller suscup. Drinking coffee by buckets is not enjoyable is it. Perhapse being more italian about it and sit for en pressO could be better.

[@davidupson2066]

If Skoda called it a Jug Holder I'd understand the frustration, but it's a CUP HOLDER! May your tea always be warm x

[@Splodg]

I have this car. There are no issues with the cup holders. Normal coffee cups, normal sized cans of drink, and water bottles all fit fine. It's only if you have an idiotic sized thing that it won't fit, which goes for most cars, really.

[@Brian-om2hh]

As a Skoda owner (Kamiq) I'm waiting to see what the new electric Elroq is like. The concept looked stunning. It's about Yeti sized from what I gather....

[@anthonystevens8683]

The Enyaq is currently and has been almost from release at the top of my electric car list. It's like a jack of all trades and is so versatile because of it. I've also sat in a few when my current car has been in for a service and the only thing that I noticed was the raised floor because that's where the batteries live. I'll not say too much about the infotainment other than to agree it does seem to be different in a good way from the likes of VW and Seat/Cupra cars but I still want buttons and twisty things to adjust the heating/cooling without messing about on a touch screen on the move. If I'm at the dealers next time I'll do the cup holder test as the new name Enyaq 85.

[@richardbanner9050]

I've had an Enyaq 17 months, done nearly 15000 miles, very happy with it. 99% of the charging has been done at home on the overnight cheap rate. I'm able to set the charging times from the screen in the car? The screen in the car 'says' it's averaged 3.5 miles/KwHr but my home charger tells me how many KwHrs it's added and if you do the maths it works out to 3 miles/KwHr. My previous diesel car also use to say it was getting a better fuel consumption than it actually was! The miles I've done and the electricity costs work out to 7p a mile which is much better than the previous diesel car I had. For info mine doesn't have a heat pump (too expensive an extra) and I do occasionally tow a trailer with it which reduces the range

[@sensec1]

Thanks, I'm considering going from a diesel to an Enyaq and this is a very useful post.

[@georgesbv1]

[@MrGMawson2438]

People also ask Where is Skoda Enyaq manufactured? Škoda Enyaq - Wikipedia It is assembled at the Škoda plant in Mladá Boleslav, Czech Republic for the European market.

[@davidrolfe9571]

I just don't get this obsession with cups and cupholders. I've been driving since 1964 and I, and various passsengers over the years, have never, ever, ever felt the need to have actual cups with drinks on board. When do you drink? when you`re going along? do you pull over in crowded high streets? deliberately seek out rural lay bys? and what happens if a passenger tries to drink while drive and you have to do an emergency stop? The cupholders on my Enyaq are just so much utterly wasted space.

[@danieldanton1129]

They are adjustable too ( the ones in front, of the Enyaq)

[@TheShoobah]

Got one. Have had it for 2.5 years. Love it. I agree on the cup holders, but I have some metal cups that actually fit 😊

[@aerox69x]

My only issue with the enyaq is the options list it really pushes the price up

[@Brian-om2hh]

That's the point of options. You also have the choice of *not* specifying them, thus not increasing the price of the car.

[@superafroYCC]

It’s just tight when you look at some of it. Remember when Ryanair wanted to charge to pee

[@aerox69x]

@@Brian-om2hh the problem is their competitors cost the same with those options included and in this day and age it’s hard to just get one option without buying a pack that includes stuff you don’t want.

Better?

[@ianowen5098]

Having owned an Enyaq for 2 years, this review is very accurate. Ginny has clearly used the car regularly as she states in the video.

[@garyallsopp6369]

Had mine for 18 months & on the whole I really like it. Quality is good, performance is good; better than most ICE cars in the real world. Handling is as good as you can expect from a std. SUV. OK not quite fun, but it's safe & predictable and I would go as far as enjoyable if you know the road... and you can get the back end out with practice 😁 19" rims are the ones with the best ride/handling compromise. I have the power tailgate & movable boot floor which fixes two of your gripes. You have got to be kidding on the Infotainment system and app though; it's derisory! Yes, better than the rest of the VAG versions but that's a bit like saying Mussolini was better than Hitler. Agree on the front cup holders and the charging speeds can be a bit moody. The other thing that enrages me is have to pay for upgrades already fitted to the car, like auto dip headlights & ambient light functions! This and the high price means I wont be getting another. I still think the Enyaq looks better but I can get a Tesla Y for the same money now - Come on?!

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

I have 80x with infotainment 3.6 software everything works well no issues so far and over 1900 km driven i guess you have much older SW version.

I haven't looked at my software version for a while but there are no updates pending and it recently had an update when it went in to have the puddle lights replaced. 3.2 last time I checked I think. The functionality of the app is rubbish; can't lock the doors or close windows charging level often doesn't communicate. It may be the internet signal but we never had a problem with our Zoe or Smart and our Corsa-e is fine too (and that has auto dip headlights!). It's a real shame; as a vehicle it's great. Its going in with a charging fault this week (The lead is dead but they need it for a day to check) they can check the software whilst it's there.

[@electricflightuk]

Great video and I totally agree with your feelings on this car. Just coming up on 16,000 miles in my 2023 Enyaq IV 80 in 6 months and I love it. Had 2 x ID5's before and they're very similar but the Enyaq slightly better. Mine had 20" upgraded alloys, heat pump and the ECO suite but if you are high mileage like me, but can charge from home and do around 240 miles a day then its spot on. Its a bit close on the range during ( if doing 250 miles a day ) the winter but loads spare when the weather warms up, the heat pump does help during the really cold weather. The in built Sat Nav is the only Nav better than Apps on my phone but that is the same as the VW ID4/5. Only thing that really annoyed me that I didn't have on the ID 5 was the fact you have to pay to upgrade the headlamps to "Auto Dip" at night whereas the VW its standard.

[@Roll_the_Bones]

I'm an TM3LR driver, but my colleague has the Enyaq, and I've travelled in it several times. Hugely more comfy, & really well appointed interior, for a more basic version than yours. The rear is fantastic, but ONLY for two rear passengers. Three is a very tight squeeze. From the passenger POV, it's been so nice to travel in. It was my first choice as a company car, until I realised there was a Tesla option. But, frankly, I'd have been very happy with the 77 kWh Enyaq rwd that I'd originally been looking at.

[@commuterbranchline8132]

TLRMY is a closer comparison to the Skoda Enyaq. 2024 M3, is a huge improvement in comfort, quality & build over present model. 2024 MY should get the same improvements when refreshed. Enyaq is the best of all the VW offerings of this size, pound for pound I’d still choose the model Y, it has a heat pump as standard and software that works. The Supercharging Network makes National and European travel very accessible with ease.

[@Darthadios]

One good thing I have to say about my Mini, the cup holders are perfect for a Ikea coffee cup.

[@Joe-ud2hb]

Great video Ginny. This was an expensive car for what you got, you were lucky with the infotainment after the reset alot of other VW users are driven mad by it. Fair to say the Korean brands were way ahead for less money.

It would be interesting to see what 2024 changes have improved the new Enyak. Back-light controls , efficiency improvements etc?

[@adamking2998]

I've had one for about 4 months - really like it as main family car. Only complaints are : 1) cup holders. 2)aircon fans run a bit loud 3) infotainment system a bit laggy. Other than that, it's great.

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

Fans are loud? What setting you are using, there are 3 setting for operating power under that AUTO button. Lowest and middle setting are really silent.

[@alangravy27]

I was put off by the Enyaq options as early models needed lots of option packs. I believe the new Edition trim adds lots of kit thst used to be an option. Please could you run us through the new specs and the power hike?

[@alancarolan3246]

Sorry Ginny. But how can home charging be a bit quicker if you have single phase electricity supply allowing for your max 7.4kW? Are you planning to upgrade to 3 phase which will only give you max 11kW anyway due to the onboard charger?

[@aaaa-ig6sc]

I had exactly the same thought 😂, with 32A single phase it's always going to be around 7.4kW max

[@daveyes9571]

Exactly. It's the 7kW charger that's the limiting factor here, not the car.

[@CymruDad]

Just took delivery of the ‘24 model Enyaq 85 a few days ago - so far we’re loving it. MUCH more practical and plusher than the Leaf Mk2 it replaced. The new model is a little sportier too (if a large SUV can be considered sporty 😂), at 0-62 in less than 7 seconds. It’s the practically that’s the best thing for us though - two boys and a dog, and we have soooo much space! Wish we could afford the heat pump - it’s a real shame it’s only an extra even on the plush trim levels.

[@rickardjonsson4526]

Isnt heat pump standard? Thats what the dealer tells me anyway

[@CymruDad]

Funny, we used to have dogs in the 1970th thru to the 21th century, but we never needed a 2 metric ton behemoth to transport the dog. I dont understand why people need those sizes of transportation to transport 1 person and a dog. And sometimes, 2 or 3 times a year, even 2 or 3 passenger. That could be done with ease in a 1970 2-door VW beetle, or Ford Escort for that matter. Spoiled whining generation.

[@sixtyseven3337]

As the driver if a Sportline Plus 80X 2023, I found this very helpfull. I think the Enyaq deserves a hell of a lot more looking into by the likes of Ginni, Matt Watson etc Whenever it has coverage, the comments section are flooded with intetested people and questions that go unanswered. On another note, I got a charging speed of 144 kW at a open to all Tesla Supercharger on a cold December night around 9pm. I'm super happy with this car.

[@TheIBrown]

I was disappointed at the lack of Virtual Cockpit options, which is available in many VW group non-EVs. I was coming from an Audi A5. In the end I bought a Polestar 2.

[@timrothwell33]

I'm a little confused by the comment about the off-peak overnight charging speeds. The Enyaq has 11kW AC charging. It has a 77kWh battery pack. Most people have a 7kW home charger. That's going to take about 11 hours to "fill it". The only way it can be quicker is for you to have a 11kW home charger. Or the Enyaq gets fitted with 22kW AC charging and you'd have to get a 3-phase 22kW home charger. Anyway, how often do you need to "fill it up"?

[@tdome3000]

The closest you can get to some technical data about the car being "tested" on this channel: the tea cup test. Electrifying: this is the place to be!

[@markdearden1697]

Well it's only taken 2.5 years, but at least a motoring journalist has mentioned the Enyaq cupholder problem. Thank you Ginny! I loved the Enyaq when I test drove it (I did find the ride too jiggly on uneven C-roads, but i was hoping the adaptive damper option pack would sort that), right up to the point where i tried to put my cup of tea into the cupholder. That's a deal breaker for me. BTW, the ones in the rear armrest are just as useless. Hyundai's cupholders work, as do Nissan's, and that's enough to put the Ioniq 5 and the Ariya ahead of the Enyaq on my shopping list.

[@michalklucz6907]

got my Enyaq for 3y now... the car is still a very good option but: 1) the tailgate is temperamental and how they implement the grab that works against you is a strange decision 2) Just Skoda App. 3) the way how Skoda changed the tech spec six months after the release so people who preordered the car never got promised updates 4) how Skoda left all 60 users with the ME3 version and left them without any future upgrades. 5) the roof or windows can open completely on their own 6) temperamental controls both tablet and roof console. once a month just stop reacting and the ONLY solution is to lock the car for 30 minutes. 6) to defrost the car, the lowest temp you can set is 16deg, and that procedure takes a whopping 3% of the battery from model 60 7) cupholders. for a completely unknown reason, they are 4mm too narrow to be OK with the 80% of cups. 8) even the L&K version got massage done with lumbar support instead of full seat and back like in Kodiaq and ID.7

[@JeremyLawrence-imajez]

My home has solar panels so I could charge the car at home on sunny days but I'm just worried about being stranded on the motorway or not being able to charge while at work or on the road.

I have a '73 Enyaq iV 80 Sportline and there are no rear USB ports. The boot door is quite heavy with no auto tailgate.

Cupholders are poor and block buttons. No auto lowering left side mirror when reversing, my mid spec 2016 Golf has that. UK spec glovebox is small as they kept fuse box on the left. There's not enough rubber seals around the door. They want a good £260 to license the radar cruise control and a few other options in the "store". Winter range is dire. No battery pre-heat function. £1000 heat pump is a joke, I was getting 2.5 miles per Kw over the recent freezing weather. So a few more issues not mentioned there Ginny. Overall I like the car too.

Left side mirror lowers on our Enyaq when reversing. I also got 3.6m/kw over last few Winter months - how you drive will affect this enormously. In summer I've driven 240 miles with 112 miles left in 'tank'. Gesture controlled interior lights are indeed a pain to use.

[@travellingman4609]

@@JeremyLawrence-imajez I think certain similarly priced spec levels differ in things like rear USB ports and left side mirror lowering on reverse- no idea why, USB ports and wiring parts are literally only €1 but a big inconvenience for me not having them.

I.e the cost of insurance, forthcoming changes to VED charges, the cost of depreciation, the inability of the National Grid to supply enough electricity etc. etc. Regarding EV’s in general. A number of manufacturers have reduced production due to a build up of unsold cars. I’ve carried our comprehensive research, into the purchase of an EV, and have become aware of a number of factors. 1. They cost a lot more, a similarly featured Kia EV, costs £14k more than an ICE Skoda. 2. The depreciation on the EV is far far greater. 3. The cost of insuring the EV is in excess of £2,000, the Skoda £350. 4. The addition cost of a home charger £1,000, and what about those living in flats, terraced house etc. 5. The range quoted, is under ideal conditions, in the winter due to ancillaries, it decreases dramatically. 6. Just have a look at the many other videos on KZbin, concerning non-working chargers, long waits at charges, range anxiety, and watching ICE vehicles fill in a couple of minutes. 7. Read the articles in the press by Rowan Atkinson. Petrol head, with a bachelor’s in electrical engineering, and a masters in science and electrical engineering. He is not Mr Bean!! 8. The work being done by JCB, regarding site equipment. 9. The fact that battery powered HGV’s are unsuitable, due to range etc. etc. 10. Think for a moment on the validity of the government’s position. The person in charge, is only there due to the fact he was the only one who knew how to put a new plug on a kettle. Some may also conjecture that a distant relative might have interests in an organisation which would benefit financially, a bit like the PPE scandal? In conclusion there is no doubt that the world is going to hell in a shopping trolley, and something has to be done. But at best, current technology electric cars, are not going to prove to be the answer. There is much research being undertaken into other solutions, and I, for one am expecting/hoping for a more realistic solution.

Are you guys locking your dogs in the back of the car??? What the... Is there any special locking mechanism for them in there at least? It sounds so savage to me. Please tell me there's special security made for them at the back of the car

Those teenagers are mucky pups aren’t they ?! 😂

[@nealm1814]

If I was looking for a spacious family car that drives well, is efficient, is comfortable then I'd walk straight past the Enyaq, get a Tesla Model Y and save myself a wheelbarrow load of money. Plus it will be faster, charge faster and have access to the supercharger network.

[@BBingo-v5i]

Hahaha sorryl, then you went straight to the most outdated EV in the market. Anyone who buys a Model Y at this moment has absolutely no idea about market developments. The Enyaq just got a new powerful and efficient drivetrain + motor update, it has great range, great space and interior, and solid tech features. Model Y has like none of that. Wait for the facelift or straight away get an Enyaq.

[@bill_heywood]

It’s a question of taste, the Model Y interior leaves me cold

[@bill_heywood]

Great vid Ginny. I’d love to see a comparison with the Model Y. For me, the Enyaq gives you so much more interior content than the Tesla, much more my cup of tea (cupholders notwithstanding) 🫖

[@simondehaas8784]

Apart from what the others said, you can get an Enyaq for way less than a Model Y at the moment

[@mr.wizeguy8995]

You can't get HUD, DCC, Matrix lights, not even well working windshield vipers for Model Y. And Tesla chargers are available for other cars here as well cost a bit more to charge.

[@seanb9530]

Imagine passengers in the back keep the blinds up because they don't want to be seen in a Skoda 😂 Very boring car imo just like all the VW EVs

[@seltaeb9691]

Bet the Skoda people were pleased with your dog hairs everywhere. Avoid dog owners cars when buying. Yuck.
