Having sat in one of these, I have to say the interior is way nicer than a VW Skoda doubters and badge snobs would be blown away by this car..

You forgot to mention that pre-conditioning can be started by a press of a button and it also tells you exactly how fast the charging would be at the time when looking at the battery pre-conditioning screen.

Heat pumps should be standard in all electric cars.

Ive had my 60 for nearly two years and is a very solid, practical, lovely to drive car.

It costs me less than 2p a mile in day to day driving and on long trips ive not had any issues with public rapid charging.

I want an 85 for a bit more power not that I find the 60 slow, there is a lot of torque.

Thr new Edition models actually come with some good kit. Back in 2022 everything was an option.

I really like the 20" wheels and ride quality feels alright to me. Tyres are expensive though, i don't pay for my tyres as they're on l the lease but a full set is around £850.

I have a heat pump and agree it's pointless and wish I'd gone for Matrix lights instead as the standard REAR lights are crap without that option.

[Grant.G.Simpson]

you pointed to a "click this link" about heat pump range etc near the end of this video....but there was no link....can you tell me where to find that video please

[SirHackaLt.]

There should be a preheating button in the charge area so you can manually prepare the battery if using google maps etc. I’m surprised you didn’t see that.

I really like the attention to detain in the rear. Most automakers partially or totally ignore any level of attention or apportion much of if any amount of comfort or convenience to it. I like the way the rear vents and HVAC controls are angled upwards and not horizontally so you have to bend over to see the numbers.

The rear seats also have long thigh cushion which is a godsend especially if you're tall. The only negative I see is the soft fabric backs on the front seats. That makes them very susceptible to punctures and tears when installing car seats for kids that kick the front seat.

American here. I can't buy this car in the US. But I just watched the whole video because of his perfect British accent.

Excellent review of the latest updates. I'm hopefully getting the Enyaq 85 edition as a company car. Would like to see a video of the adapt8ve cruise control, and lane assist plus.

[BikeOnRoadLondon]

Love my Enyaq. Coming from a Kodiaq to Enyaq, I am extremely happy with the practicality the car offers and the savings in fuel is night and day.

[KareHoyerSorensen]

Concerning boot space... Of course there is not much of a difference between Tesla Model Y, Skoda Enyaq Coupe and Skoda Enyaq when you only fill it up to the cover. The entire point of the Enyaq vs Enyaq Coupe is that there is a lot of room when you fill it to the roof. In the Enyaq you can fit a large dog in a cage and some luggage. In the vast army of coupe EVs the dog would hit it's head on the ceiling.

We are all being lulled into spending £40000 plus for an electric car which a second hand car would do exactly the same job.
Depreciation on these shiny new cars is eye watering . 
Trying to keep up with the neighbours is a recipe for financial disaster.

[Mobileblaster]

Should mention its built on the same system as audi Q4 vw iD4 and 5. The Enya its more practical even the coupe is bigger than both q4 id5 loads more toys as standard and the upgrades are cheaper. We have a 85x coupe sport line on order for the same deal as a entry Q4 and its basically the same car I would say the 85x looks more aggressive and sporter stance 👍

[brianallan]

Excellent, detailed review. So what is the point of Volkswagen after this?

[kienanharrison]

Lads, I’m in way over my head trying to decide what to buy. Love the sorentos interior. The quashqais 90 degree opening doors (I work with disabled people) and the cheaper Chinese options are appealing to me for the $ savings but by the time I spec them they are close to the Kia and Nissan. Help a guy decide

[leem]

I had a Mokka e for almost 3 years, upgraded to a Kia EV6 GT Line S. Its an amazing EV, so much tech as standard on that top spec and amzing looking interior and exterior!

[supportitservices]

i just bough it and i felt in love with it .

[davidllewellyn]

As usual a very informative and calm review, thanks.

[petecoventry]

8:01 this has been a Zoe feature for about £180 for years so that's a good price for the extras

[Jimmybones]

Nobody talks about the sound systems in most of these car reviews.
