Regarding consumption Enyaq vs ID4: The MEB cars have one "issue": if the battery is too cold (i think below 9 degrees?), the car will heat the battery up to 13 degrees. That cost some energy. That makes a comparison between different cars difficult, when it comes to different weather. For example, look at the 2 ID3 that björn tested: We have one where the weather was quite nice with 9-19 degrees and avg 14 and another one where weather was bad with 4-9 and 8.5 avg, in avg 5,5 degrees difference. Ok one of them had a slightly bigger battery, but weight has not a really big difference on the consumption, at least not the couple of kg here. If we look now at the consumption of the both ID3 we see 200 kWh for the one with the good weather and 227 for the one with the bad, so 2,7 kWh more. If we now look at ID4 and Enyaq we see from temp 4-12 avg 8 and 12-14 avg 13, in avg 5 degrees difference. From Consumption we have ID4 251 and Enyaq 231 so 2 kWh difference. So i would say, same weather same consumption, more or less
Yes, but you`re forgeting couple of things... Bjorn starts his test with warm battery! Also, he drives 100km/h+ and charges often... No need for battery heater at all in those conditions... Actually, it needs to cool down the battery more like... Air density, then yes...Colder tires/less pressure - yes...
@@DG-uv3zw Was the battery really warm at start from ID4 1000km trip? And no the battery doest really heat up you see it when he charges and don't get 125 kW. Battery is too cold, only in summer it might be that it needs cooling.
@@DG-uv3zw Ok, i see from both videos in ID4 Test the battery is much colder at start, not really cold but still a difference. Also EV Notify in Enyaq say 0,57 consumption and ID4 1,87 at start, so there was at least a difference there The way VAG did the battery heating is not really good programmed, at least that can be one factor besides others.
Thanks for the Video Björn. Somewhat a pitty that all the press cars and CZcams reviews are always done with the top model. I would like to see the performance of the iV 60.
This comes at exact the right time, I'm looking at an enyaq at work. Still some decisions to be made as i don't have any charging possibilities at home or at work (yet) so have to rely on public chargers at gas stations, parking spots etc. I live in Sweden btw.
I think expectations were low (bc of ID4) that I am so excited for this EV family car (dare I say, if Skoda can squeeze 7 seats it would compete with a model X 🤯 and soon Model Y) - go EV 👍
Hi Bjorn, could you include the total Kwh used to complete the 1000km challenge on your table. I think that would be really helpful in calculating cost of the trip and a better indicator than the cars read out of average kwh/100km.
@@ungardmaier4536 But ID4 had the more efficient 20" wheels (Enyaq had 21"). So although the weather was a disadvantage, the 20" wheels were an advantige to ID4 compared to Enyaq. So even though the temperature would be the same, but if they would use the same size wheels, the difference in consumption could still be the same. But in any case, the difference in consumption between these two cars is very small.
For Range Tests it is really time that the cars get 300 kg added to the passenger area and 100n kg in the boot and a towing pack with a cycle rack on and 3 Mountain Bikes carried, with the heating or cooling set for 4 in the car. Let us know what a Family Car the size of a SUV gets for range if bought and used by a family.
Comparing consumption over the 1000km distance would favour ID3 over Enyaq and e-tron. Also Enyaq is more efficient in this sense than e-Tron. So depends what is the main criteria for efficiency, as lower KW total = less power costs.
Nice video about a nice car, with a bewildering set of options and pricing. Too bad Skoda did not come up with an EV version similar to their Octavia or Superb station wagons.
So maybe a 5 minute difference between ID4 and Enyaq under the same conditions. I would assume the difference being bigger,, since the Enyaq has a lower drag coefficient. But still, 10:30 hours on 1000km is awesome, none the less.
I hope u can test the Enyaq iV 60 in the future, in the Netherlands thats the car under €45.000 = mutch better for lease! (hope to replace mine in march 2022 for the iV60 :D )
Totally agree - would love to see that. I'm also curious whether the iV60 with a heat pump has a similar range to an iV80 without a heat pump. Guess we have to wait until next winter to find out! ( I don't think heat pumps make much difference in the spring or summer?)
Great review as always - I watched some of this live at the weekend. I’m really interested in knowing how much ‘worse’ things are with the iV60 in terms of time to travel 1000km, and how many kms you can get from a full charge. It’s about £7k less than the iV80 in the UK. Also I wonder if putting the heat pump on the iV60 would make it match the range of an iV80 which doesn’t have the heat pump? (in winter )
@iix iixorb yes, I was wondering about that too. Think the heat pump was over £1200 to add to the iV60 but can't decide if it's worth it in the UK. Also, if you set the route on a long journey does it preheat the battery, prior to reaching the charging station... Or is that something only Teslas can do?
Skoda Engineers famously make the most of their VW/VAG platform products and add great features. There is no better value for money if you can live the badge and hang your head low each time you pass an Audi…
Still no staggered wheels in this test right? square setup is not available for IV80. IV60 only. So you need to swap rims with lower battery version which is €€€€
I saw one on the road a few weeks ago. It was probably 100-150 meters away, but it was super obvious that it was the one with the illuminated grill. It really did stand out, even in daylight.
Can you implement a Europe test, not just Norway because outside Norway it’s sadly not that great in chargers 🔌 for non Tesla’s. Otherwise 👍🏻🔥. The Skoda is definitely the best choice vs id4 🤦🏻😂.
Bjorn, love the Enyaq, and you are so lucky to get to test these vehicles. Yeah, I know it's hard work, but we know you love doing it. Have you seen the new Mercedes-Benz EQT Concept 2021 yet. How many banana boxes do you have for that?
So obviously weight, and especially in higher speeds aerodynamics, are the main factors when it comes to efficiency. Was just wondering how much software optimisation can help with the power consumption
Cool video! If there should be some space left in your spreadsheet, would it be possible to insert a column with the number of charging stops executed in the run? Also interesting, if you could derive an empirical value from your tests by how many minutes or percent of time the 1,000 km challenge is extended for every 5 degrees drop in temperature. Then you could calculate a hypothetical value for a standard 1000 km Trip in summer holidays.
Hi Bjørn. How does the Mustang Mach-e compare to the Enyaq? I mean from your reviews the Mustang is obviously less efficient, however the test was done under more winter-like conditions...? Thanks a lot for your reviews! From a fellow northener they are very usefull.
Skoda is more efficient, looks much better than ID4 to me and most important, better price. Made by VW lol 😆 has to be the Skoda. Unless someone can argue why ID4 would be better?
So looking at your average consuption at 25kwh per 100km, and this is summer, you would need to stop every 300km minimum? That doesn't seem that convienient overall still compared to ICE cars. Good concept though showing the comparisons but the number of charges and time charging should be shown.
The Enyaq is bad for long trips, it doesn't give you enough time for eating at charging stops!
Too many charging stops with eating are bad for your body weight.
Someone didn't get the joke at all...
dudes…. its also an joke….

I’m really interested in knowing how much ‘worse’ things are with the iV60 in terms of time to travel 1000km, and how many kms you can get from a full charge. It’s about £7k less than the iV80 in the UK. Also I wonder if putting the heat pump on the iV60 would make it match the range of an iV80 which doesn’t have the heat pump? (in winter )
@iix iixorb yes, I was wondering about that too. Think the heat pump was over £1200 to add to the iV60 but can't decide if it's worth it in the UK. Also, if you set the route on a long journey does it preheat the battery, prior to reaching the charging station... Or is that something only Teslas can do?
Great looking car.
Yo Björn when will you get your hands on a Hyundai Ioniq 5?
Skoda Engineers famously make the most of their VW/VAG platform products and add great features. There is no better value for money if you can live the badge and hang your head low each time you pass an Audi…

Do you have plans to test the 85 edition estate?
Still no staggered wheels in this test right? square setup is not available for IV80. IV60 only. So you need to swap rims with lower battery version which is €€€€
@@bernhardleopold6702 they are OK to use, but you won't get it like this from the factory if you wanted. You still need a swap.
Can you do the challenge with the SR+ but in warm weather? The consumption of 218 seems pretty high
Great Review 👍
Agree with you! My pet hat are litter Louts!
The Skoda Enyaq looks a quality car 🚗 👌
Has any of you seen one with the illuminated grill? Curious to see how it compares to the regular one
Only comes in a few month time. Illuminated teeth. ;-)
I saw one on the road a few weeks ago. It was probably 100-150 meters away, but it was super obvious that it was the one with the illuminated grill. It really did stand out, even in daylight.
pretty dope car if it came out in the states i drive a leaf
Can you implement a Europe test, not just Norway because outside Norway it’s sadly not that great in chargers 🔌 for non Tesla’s. Otherwise 👍🏻🔥. The Skoda is definitely the best choice vs id4 🤦🏻😂.
Covid...
@@bjornnyland wow really , what’s that 👀🤦🏻, It ain’t going to be Covid forever
How much faster is doing 4 charging stops instead of just 2 longer ones?
Doing longer ones I think is better for the battery
Thank you.
Should try without wing mirrors!
There’s no competition I’d go for the Tesla... I mean id4.. I mean Enyaq
Hi Bjørn, when do you think you will be able to test the Ioniq 5? And do you have any predictions on how it will preform?
Bjorn, love the Enyaq, and you are so lucky to get to test these vehicles. Yeah, I know it's hard work, but we know you love doing it. Have you seen the new Mercedes-Benz EQT Concept 2021 yet. How many banana boxes do you have for that?
Including the air density into account is hard core :D
Not really
This is EV standard. They are so efficient that that matters
I may have missed it but have you timed a Taycan yet? Love the videos, enjoyable and informative.
Hey Bjørn. Still waiting for a 1000km Test with a Model 3 LR from 2019. Should make the first place in your ranking. Greetings from Hamburg.
So obviously weight, and especially in higher speeds aerodynamics, are the main factors when it comes to efficiency. Was just wondering how much software optimisation can help with the power consumption
Bjorn, Do you think you will get to review the Audi RS Etron GT sometime.
You should write time of charging and level from x% to x%
Nice Video for a very underrated car. Can it be ordered with a trailer hitch?
Yes it can. Depending on the engine the max load varies. Only the IV 50 currently doesn't have this option.
I thought the round Id4 shape is more efficient. But apparently not.
Freaking awesome!
Enyaq has got a new update, making the fastcharging faster. Would you redo the test :)
?
We should remeber that all VG cars will get a new software soon, charginge time should be less
Cool video! If there should be some space left in your spreadsheet, would it be possible to insert a column with the number of charging stops executed in the run? Also interesting, if you could derive an empirical value from your tests by how many minutes or percent of time the 1,000 km challenge is extended for every 5 degrees drop in temperature. Then you could calculate a hypothetical value for a standard 1000 km Trip in summer holidays.
Hi Bjørn. How does the Mustang Mach-e compare to the Enyaq? I mean from your reviews the Mustang is obviously less efficient, however the test was done under more winter-like conditions...?
Thanks a lot for your reviews! From a fellow northener they are very usefull.
Skoda is more efficient, looks much better than ID4 to me and most important, better price.
Made by VW lol 😆 has to be the Skoda. Unless someone can argue why ID4 would be better?
So looking at your average consuption at 25kwh per 100km, and this is summer, you would need to stop every 300km minimum? That doesn't seem that convienient overall still compared to ICE cars.
Good concept though showing the comparisons but the number of charges and time charging should be shown.
Great video. Which OBD adaptor do you use for EV Notify? I have an Enyaq on order and need to by one.
i thought that warm summer air is more dense than in winter....

No. When you heat a fluid the particles move apart. When you cool a fluid the particles come together and 'solidify' if cooled enough.
