As a car detailer for the last 20 years I have seen a few cars..... Apx. 2 a day.....And this Skoda........wow! One of the very finest estates I have ever seen :-) Great car, great video. Thanks :-)
Looking forward to seeing it in the Spirit Skoda showroom ! Great review 🚙
Thank you!
Excellent review. Thanks!
Thanks for watching!
VW take note, we don’t like your cheap toy looking look of your electric cars, this car looks a 100 times better, inside and out.
Thank You for this brilliant review! Based on this review I am encouraged t take Enyaq on test drive on next week and possibly this car will be my new car in one year after long lead times...
Glad it was helpful! Thanks for watching.
I liked seeing you pass by a Felicia (updated from Favorit due to my poor old Skoda knowledge!) at 4:28. The old and the new meeting briefly.
Favorit got a rather cool Top Gear positive review in 1989 czcams.com/video/S7TVWqUQ7CA/video.html although one must admit that the degree of enthusiasm about the Enyaq is at a higher level LOL.
But I think you exaggerate. Isn't it a Felicia?
Nice video Dave, I'm sold!
Thank you
It really is stunning. I don’t understand the logic behind VW at the moment the Skoda Enyaq & Cupra Born are both cheaper and clearly a lot nicer interiors than the VW ID3 & ID4 so why would anyone buy them.
Its called market strategy. People will still buy ID 3, ID 4. In North America, China they only have access to ID 4. Also the more variety , lineups the better.
Edit: Also full equipped ID 4 is cheaper than full equipped Enyac....
@@jonpetter8921 only when buying from new, pre owned they will be roughly the same price
The Skoda interior here is top of the range. Sit in a standard Enyaq and its a completely different story. The ID4 is better car bang for buck.
Skoda is doing a great job lately
Great review and edeting
Thank you 🤗, very kind of you to say.
Absolutely gorgeous.. Any word on when any of the Sportlines will be available here??
No set prices or dates for Ireland yet, expect it to be in Q4 2021.
Great review- Love the colour,what colour option is it? Race metallic Blue?
Thanks for watching. You're correct, it is indeed Race Blue Metallic.
great review with no video of boot space, ill keep on looking for a proper review
Why not take a look here: czcams.com/video/SK1y3hYai68/video.html
Put my deposit down for enyaq 80 sportline today. So excited to go electric and to get a brand new car! Never bought new before, cannae wait! Long lead time though due to brexit / covid/ suez
Ouch, all that cost is a percentage loss the minute you sign that new car paperwork, 20% vat, etc etc etc gone. That brand new car has dropped before it’s even been built
@@vinnieomahoney6359 thanks for the positivity vinnie lol. Funnily enough I had considered depreciation of new car, cost benefit analysis of buying new versus pcp versus Bank loan versus second hand etc etc etc. Funnily enough the thing I did was right for me, not you. Gonnae not yuck other people's yum eh?
When do you expect it to arrive?
@@vinnieomahoney6359 And how wrong you are. I order mine it cost 58 000 euro they are selling ATM similar cars 2000 miles driven for 67 000 euro i would get 9000 profit if i sell mine when i get it.
How is it?
No sportline in Ireland?? Any reason why we can't get one?
Sportline really transforms look of the car. Looks really well. However the sportline 80x is going to be silly money. Top spec 80 is already around €60k so sportline and “x” will make it well over that plus loses out on grant. Not sure how well it will sell at that price point 🤔. Pity….
100% is it an ENYAQ --MODEL Y ---IONIQ 5----so great to have a choice ---6 yrs driving electric in UK.
So great to see isn't it?! There are some very appealing EVs coming onto the market now.
Good review but why wasn't the hatch opened..?...this may be my Yeti replacement ....great looking car..!!
Sorry. We had limited time
Where was this episode filmed? Your accent is Irish but the landscape and building's architecture reminds me of Poland or Slovenia 🤔
It was filmed in the Czech Republic.
The 4WD is going to matter most on slippery road - icy, snowy etc. On gravel roads too. And all of the above combined with steep inclines. So, this thing needs to be reviewed in the mountains!
As with the id4 gtx, the front motor is mainly for peak performance and slip requests. So mostly delivers rear wheel drive power. Range is shortened however, but not by much considering the extra 100kg load. RWD with heat pump & no pano glass roof for the win.
I spec’d up a base Enyaq with modest options (family necessities) and it was nearly 50k. These things are still way more than the equivalent Kodiaq.
The initial cost of almost all electric cars are higher than their ICE equivalent, but also consider the total cost of ownership over a few years. ^DH
@@CompletecarIe I’m an EV lover but I still can’t justify the cost difference (even over the life time of the ownership). It’s hard to tell whether EV is getting cheaper or ICE is getting dearer but they will breakdown in 2-3 years for sure.
@@stuartmchugh1754 here in Sweden where the diesel costs is 2 Euro per liter now and high cartax per year, driving 100000 km would cost alot over 20000 euro.
I think the Sportline trim really makes this a purposeful looking car. Having driven both the Enyaq and the ID4, I agree that the Enyaq interior is streets ahead in quality and in useability of the controls / infotainment screen. The awkward and "hit &miss" touch and haptic controls / buttons of the ID4 alone are enough reason to disqualify it - so ordered an Enyaq 80 Sportline last week! Normally I specify white for my cars, but I felt that the black trim against white at the front looked crude & awkward (even shows a bit on your blue example), so I ordered in in Quartz Grey where the contrast is more subtle.
Congratulations on the new car!
How long did you have to wait?
@@cecil4485 Ordered 6 Oct 2021, got it 27 July 2022. Skoda dropped the Quartz Grey I ordered and supplied Graphite Grey. I prefer it.
@@davidrolfe9571 I'd really like to order one but the 12 month wait at the moment is putting me off
You mention vRS eddition. Do you have any solid data on this version ?
I ahve saked my local dealers who have no information and have said that the Sportline is the only performance option
Have you tried one yet? Just updated with more power www.completecar.ie/car-reviews/article/Skoda/Enyaq/Enyaq_iV_RS_(2023)/2089/12079/2022-Skoda-Enyaq-iV-RS-(2023)-review.html
That is a great looking car. What colour is it?
It's called Race Blue
My IV 80x is on 19" wheels. I gave up buying low profile tyres about 20 years ago. I'm enjoying the car & I switch off lane assist on every journey, too bloody dangerous IMO!
Thanks for giving us your feedback on the car
good review but i'd like to see a review of the base model that most people can only afford to buy by the way which is the more efficient is it above the 17 you said or below it
Good luck parting with €50k+ for a Skoda.
@@DaraM73 £58,000 for mine
@@bcjf01 wow…I did notice that prices have increased lately by around £4K since launch.
Base model looks rubbish beside an equivalent ID4.
VW and ŠKODA are the same family so from the "inside" it's the same quality, but I really fancy the ENYAQ iV much more. It is a personal preference, of course, but I think it is a fantastic car. ŠKODA has always been my favorite and with the ENYAQ models they made it to the top. Especially with the SportLine version. 💚
In our experience the Enyaq really outperforms the ID.4 in quality terms.
I have a Skoda Enyaq IV 80 and one question: I need to go from Madrid to Lisbon airport in 3 weeks from now. How do I do?
Did you make it?
makes you wonder if the VW group has decided to re-position skoda above vw rather than below to fill the gap up to audi...
Word on the street is that Volkswagen isn't too happy with Skoda producing cars to these standards. ^DH
@@CompletecarIe it's not Skoda's fault that Volkswagen decided to go really cheap with their ID.3. and ID.4. The interior quality of ID.3 for example looks worse than the new Volkswagen Polo's one.
Don't you think that the difference exists because the Škoda teams have the skills to produce stunning cars now while VW have simply lost it? Impotence usually isn't a choice which is how you make it sound.
I've thought for a while that Skoda quality now outguns VW's.
@@CompletecarIe Base Enyaq is very bland. Like for like you get more in the ID4.
How is this interior feel compared to the Eco Suite interior?
Both are very good interiors, I think the seats seemed just a little firmer in the Sportline compared to Eco Suite, but the difference is very marginal. My advice would be to try to see both in person. I had no issue with the quality and finish in the cars I have tried.
I’m a couple of years away from an electric vehicle. I’d never buy a car from new. A couple of years from now this will be a really good pre owned buy
The used EV market will be quite appealing in a few more year. ^Dave
@@CompletecarIe 100% agree, I always buy my cars 18 months to two years old. Let someone else take the huge hit on buying new lol.
@@vinnieomahoney6359 I've always been with you regarding buying a couple of years old, but at this time early adopters are not getting such a bad deal, especially if it's bought through a company with low/no tax rates. Second hand options may be limited for some time yet, with a shortages of new cars and long build times, second hand values will remain strong for a long time, whilst taking the usual second hand elements of it being used, slight battery degradation etc.
I used to think like you but there in no point to buy old EV because i can use it more during warranty time if something happens that's why i bought new. Also your strategy doesn't work because used EV are now more expensive that new so you need to wait i would say 5 year before price will go down on used EV.
would like to see Skoda making their version of the ''ID BUZZ''
Or an electric modern Felicia Fun pickup!
@@CompletecarIe I'll settle for an ev version of the Octavia Combi, does everything I need it for. Enjoyed the review though, thanks.
Chateau Mcely, very nice! ID4 is a lot cheaper fully equipped than the Enyaq, so you are paying for the better interior. Overall though, it is the same car - same drivetrain.
Agreed. ID4 has a lot of hidden details casual viewers don’t see in these videos. Also, most of the Enyaqs test driven on CZcams are top spec, equivalent to VW’s GTX but most of the VW test cars are first editions.
Would buy if Skoda sent them to Australia. P ricks.
Yes, I Do Like Enyaq iv 80, Range Above 533 Km. Still There Is One Big Problem, There Is NO Spare Tire For Any Electric Car Or SUV Vehicle.
Hard to find a full size spare with any new car these days
I'm waiting for the RS Version!
Geneva Motor Show 2022!
A coupe version is also coming, going to be awesome as RS
Which color is this Enyaq? Is it Race Blue?
Correct, this is Race Blue
When will this model be available?
Hopefully before mid-2022, but supply of all new cars has been delayed so that’s quite unpredictable. ^ Shane
@@CompletecarIe thanks for the reply. Any idea what kind of deposits dealers are typically looking for?
What is this "4s" version coming in 2022 that is mentioned in the video? Is it a new enyac model? Where can i find info on this?
All of our Enyaq reviews are here: www.completecar.ie/car/search/car-reviews/Skoda/Enyaq
So, this is an SUV (i.e. practical family vehicle) based on iD4 foundations but...no mention/review of the load spaces, and no mention/demonstration of VAG's current infotainment systems which have been universally slated by reviewers as being unresponsive (touch controls) and laggy (touch screens). Also, it weighs up to 2.4T, top speed is capped at 99mph, and 0-60 (as a performance indicator) is 6.9s which is acceptable rather than praiseworthy. It's a nice looking 'car' but more a case of being sport-styled rather then sporty per se.
In Skoda's defence, the native infotainment system has consistently been better than the VW one in our experience.
But what is it? An SUV? an MPV? The overall shape reminds me of the 1st gen 3008
Is it important what it's called? Personally I think it's somewhere in between. Very practical in any case, more so than most SUVs.
Great car . But with 1 big down side . Sound system. 7 speakers ,not premium 👎no subboofer . Or they have options ? 🤔
What's wrong with that?
Why the heck are these ‘high up’ screens legal?
The one advantage of the positioning of this screen is that it is higher up, so you don't have to look as far away from the road. But once driving they aren't distracting, and the head-up display works very well, and voice-enabled virtual assistants are also getting better.
Škoda really did better job then VW I like ID4 but its nothing compared to this Enyaq
Quite a difference between these two cars. ^DH
The car looks great, Skoda have done very well here, but I couldn't live with that tiny dashboard, it's put me off buying one to be honest
Really? What's wrong with it?
I really like Enyaq and have pretty much decided on one as my next daily car. More attractive, better priced and with a much nicer interior than ID.4, why would you choose the VW?
Great review, factual and with a nice relaxed presentation style👍🏼
Why would you choose the VW? Well, believe it or not, there are *still* people out there who think Skodas still have rear engines, and are some sort of Lada-esque second rate motor. Obviously, they've never looked at, driven, or even sat in one. And yes, there are also people out there whom would not want their friends or neighbours to see a Skoda parked on their drive. For some, image is the be all and end all. More fool them I'd say..... Me? I've owned 4 Skodas. Every bit as good as a VW, but cheaper. And who gives a Donald Duck about the badge. Not me....... That said, you wouldn't catch me buying a BMW. I don't care for *their* image......and no, I didn't mean the official glossy one.
Yes, I prefer the Enyaq over the ID 4, also for the nicer interior. To me, the ID4 seems a bit big and bulbous. It looks a little over-styled too. I don't mind the ID3 though. I wonder if Skoda will, like Seat, produce their own incarnation of the ID3?
Thousand times nicer than the ID.bore!
ID.bore made us genuinely laugh out loud!
Thanks, came to me in a moment of inspiration 😆
I do not like the front, that it looks like an ordinary Skoda. And I like the gears to be near the steering wheel. So how does it trumps the ID4?
The interior has a much better quality to the materials and finish, there are more practical features, the infotainment system is better, it has more boot capacity...
Gears? It doesn’t have any!
I think making it look like a normal Skoda was entirely deliberate. It was to make the car more acceptable to people unused to electric cars
if you like Tonka toys then the ID.3/4 is the right car for you !!!
I have had the enyaq 80 now for just over a month now and done 1250 miles in that time, and sadly it’s by far the worst car I’ve ever purchased, the electronic faults are coming thick and fast even to the point that the lane assist very near crashed me into a stone wall, it’s now gone back to Skoda to try and sort the problems, but the lone car that have given me is on a indefinite lone to me and I don’t think I’m going to be seeing the enyaq for some time
I can honestly say this will be the first car I’m going to have to reject and I’ve now had over 40 out of the VAG group
That's a pity to hear. What did you do in the end?
Butttt very expensive
“Blows it out of the water”….Only at the end of your commentary do you state you haven’t seen the id4 GTX! So what spec ID4 are you comparing too? Nice motor, even though the review is laughable.
I'm pretty sure the GTX equivalent Enyaq will be the ivS. He states he's waiting to look at both.
ID.4 Pro
Skodas are no longer cheap, way to expensive for the avarage earner, where skoda always scored big time.
Unfortunately throwing stats around without explaining them leaves me at a total loss (I know mpg but am a novice electric), not a single price mentioned and nothing to criticise makes this a poor review !
We're sorry that you feel that way. Which stats/specs did you not understand? We'd be happy to explain or go into more detail, just let us know!
There is no confirmed pricing for our local market yet, but we tend to skip focusing too much on price as it can vary so much from market to market. Also for people watching the review in the future that information may become incorrect/irrelevant.
It won't be cheap ... Because it's good, fast, high quality, nice, spacious, modern, practic, and still for everyday using. These attributes are a matter of money. That is, it will not be for everyone. A strong target group are company fleets.
I just can't stand the name 😁
Surely a name is better than random letters and numbers that make it sound like a fax machine?!
@@CompletecarIe It's clear you are a Skoda man, I was looking at Enyac but I had the Kodiaq which is much better looking! and also the price is too much! but have to agree interior is a bit better than ID4, then again exterior is not up to par.
You probably don't own a Shitzhu then Midnite?
Urgh another bland, tasteless SUV for Irish roads. Just what we're missing.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts! I understand that SUVs might not be everyone's cup of tea, but they do offer a lot of practicality and space for families on the road.
Was the boot stuck?
No
I have a Skoda Enyaq IV 80 and one question: I need to go from Madrid to Lisbon airport in 3 weeks from now. How do I do?
How did it go?
