Škoda Enyaq iV 60 v Kia EV6 range test

We tested my friend Grahame's Kia EV6 (77 kWh battery) and the Enyaq iV60 (58 kWh battery) on a road trip from Scotland to England in terrible weather conditions to see how the cars compared. We set off from Livingston with 75% charge in each car and headed down the A1 towards the English border and the Ionity chargers in Alnwick. The weather was terrible with heavy rain and a strong head wind which really reduced the efficiency of both cars.

Part 2 coming soon showing the return trip.

You can make your own coffee with an EV6 if you want to !

Another really interesting, real driving, video. Really enjoyed it. Pretty impressive consumption figures and I love the Charger Icon on your screen. I wish my EV had such a thing. Looking forward to the return trip.

Another great video Dom looking forward to part 2, all I need now is my IV80 whenever it arrives and the premium ABRP . 👍🏻

You totally messed it up by using different measures.
8:45 Enyaq: 3.4km/kWh, 44 mph, 22% battery
EV6: 17.4kWh/100km, 70 kmh, 22% battery
It's like mixing different languages, as in, "How can ひと compredre 널 if you 섞어 measures?"

Ah this is going to be so much more polished than my video !

[voelkela]

Do you think that's the best selection for a fair comparison (58kWh vs. 77kWh, where a 58kWh version of the EV6 would be available as well)?

Which smartphone holder are you using? I find the design interesting, is it attached to the back on the infotainment screen? This would be better than the airco phone holders.

8:45 is the Enyaq but 8:57 the EV6?
Why different units between the cars or what are the real stats of EV6?
EV6 seemed to charge more kWh at Ionity, so this is very confusing - especially if you start with 75 % but charge to 80 %.
🤔

In the video you say that the Skoda only charges in a quick mode when the battery is below 20%? How that works? For me is a big problem. Thanks for the video, nice test!

Really interested to know more about the automated driving assistance on your Enyaq. Right now I have a 2016 Skoda Superb with radar adaptive cruise control and it also has a degree of assisted steering. The adaptive cruise is brilliant, although when stopped in a queue at traffic lights for example the engine will turn off. When the traffic in front moves off the engine auto restarts but the car does not move off unless I give a quick pull on the cruise control stalk to resume the previous set speed.
It sounds like the Enyaq has improved on that.
The auto steering in the Superb is a bit hit and miss - there is an icon on the cockpit display that toggles from green (active) to amber (inactive) based on whether the car can detect the road and verges properly. On the motorway it is pretty good but on local roads it switches on and off to frequently to be reliable, and of course if you hold the wheel too lightly for too long you get a loud bing and a request to "take over steering".
Does the Enyaq work the same way or is there a much needed improvement.
Can't decide on which way to go for an EV at the moment so sitting on the fence, plus I've only had my Skoda 18 months.

It would be good if you could do a test like this against an ID 4.

[bigmacntings]

can you do a kia e niro 2 64kw v enyaq 60 range test please. These are the only two worthwhile that come in under £32000 UK government EV grant.
Would be interesting to know..
Please can you also scrap the rapid charger test and use 7kw and 11kw 3 phase.I'd really like to know how many miles you get off each of the free-to-use charger types.
How many miles off each will I get if I go from zero to an hour timed charge state while shopping in the supermarket??

Interesting video ! I don’t know if you have Assisted Drive Plus or Basic but Skoda have temporarily removed Traffic Jam Assist on the Basic version. So no auto driving when the car in front pulls away. I’m collecting my Enyaq this week and have been advised they had to remove this function :-(

which one had the better range between a 20-80per cent range
