Family EV Top Trumps! Tesla Model Y LR v Skoda Enyaq iv80 v Hyundai Ioniq 5 p45. Which is best?

Hi, just a bit of fun here but comparing some pros and cons by playing top trumps with these three family electric cars.

Tesla Model Y Long Range (or Standar)
Hyundai Ioniq 5 Project 45
Skoda Enyaq iv80 rwd (not 4 wheel drive, and not sportline) but with some options added! I still keep wanting to spell in Enyak!

So I’ll say here and now this is of course a very subjective test. Some elements will be of priority to different people for different uses but I hope this acts as a useful comparison and review even so. It’s just my opinion of some pros and cons of each!

Of course each is totally dependent on the specification of each one of these particular cars too. Which optional extras they have.

But I hope you enjoy seeing some of the comparisons and our opinions and hopefully it’s useful to you if you are looking at one of these three very good family EV’s / electric vehicles.

Thanks for watching!

Thanks guys, a thoroughly informative and entertaining video. You managed to get banana humour and snuggling in the back of the car to be entertaining without distracting from the plethora of honest opinion and detail. Seeing one of your videos pop up is like finding an extra pressie at Christmas. Bravo and please keep it up!

Rear seats in Tesla. My lads love them because of the standard glass roof. You forgot to mention this. Tesla does have a12v socket in boot. It's in the left corner by the light.

Brutally simple & honest - personal choice but this helps so much. Thanks Rich 👍🏽👊🏽

Great video mate I don't have any but enjoy watching 👌

The excellent comparison !! Thank you a lot :-)

I went for the ioniq 5 ultimate AWD. Love it. With you 100% on the E/V on/off button. Makes no sense and keep forgetting. Best bit is the looks. Last week a kid stopped in front of me with his grandma in supermarket car park, pointed, and said ‘WOW look at that cool car’ made my day.

Overall, They’re all so good you can’t go far wrong with any of them.

Thank you, really useful comparisons 👍

Tesla's charging network is worth 20 points. You never have to worry even in unfamiliar territory. Unlike other cars that tell you a charging station is there, but it is on the other side of a French motorway. 15 kilometres to the exit and 15 back to the other side of the motorway.

Nice review, we run an Enyaq alongside our M3P, the 12v in the Enyaq is right hand side of the boot towards the top of the wheel arch behind a blank black cover.

Excellent comparison Mr Symons !
even coming from an electric car specialist!
congratulations and Health and Prosperity to everyone on the Channel!

Fun and useful addition to the usual reviews

I have test driven Skoda Enyaq and Tesla model Y. Sadly I haven't had a chance to drive the ioniq yet. I always wanted a Tesla but once I driven one I will definitely not be buying one. Too minimalistic with just one big screen. Not for me.
As soon as I sat in Skoda just loved the feel. So spacious with a huge boot space not to mention about the price. This is the car I would be happy to replace my MG4 in a future as the kids growing and will be needing more space.

Great review guys as always 👍very fair and informative as always ☺️
Love the 🍌 test 😄

just a FYI, but the Enyaq back seat USB sockets are in an optional equipment package, used to be called "Family pack", now "Plus pack with alarm" (in Finland at least). The pack also includes a 230V standard socket for powering laptops or what not. The 12V socket in the boot is/was also an option in the "Transport pack". Our Enyaq has these, quite convenient features. :) But perhaps this is also a bit of minus for the Enyaq that a lot of features are optional extras and additional cost, and the cheapest base cars are fairly basic.

Frequent OTA updates and the Tesla Supercharging network, plus the infotainment system push the Model Y into top place, in my opinion.

I will go for the Enyaq. But with 12V socket in the boot and usb ports and window blinders in the rear seat row.

I really enjoyed this video. After doing 8, 000 miles in 4 months in my model Y I’m still unearthing features… I use my car for work, driving on a cross section of all roads. Now having a home charger the range of the model Y has eliminated my use of any other chargers so reducing my initial range anxiety to zero. Handling, braking and on road comfort are all very good, as is its performance. Tyre wear seems about right the standard Hankook EV’S will need to be replaced at around 16-17k in my estimation. The car is now easy to live with however it took a while after covering over 1.5 million miles in ICE vehicles.

How can you just look at the 854 L Tesla quotes and not comment on the fact that Tesla uses a different measurement standard, which measures all the way to roof, to Skoda and Hyundai which only measure to parcel shelf?

It's so blatantly obvious that the Model Y doesn't have a 45% larger boot than the Skoda. In fact, VW use the same standard as Tesla for the US market and then the ID.4 boot (which is smaller than the Skoda) measures larger than the Model Y boot at 858 L.

This was actually quite helpful, 2 are in my shortlist for next car
