Another great review from What car never any badge snobbery just give credit when it's due.
Clearly you haven't seen the GV80 review. Screw this bloke.
I work as a Private hire Taxi driver and with a £3k deposit and a heat pump I need to borrow £30k over 3 years. 36 payments x £869 then I save £400 a month in fuel costs (I spend £600 a month on Diesel) and sell the car in 3 years for £14,000 which means the car cost me nothing over the 3 years. A free Car. Great.
So nice to see a review of an entry level car rather than constantly seeing the top of the range models,great video thank you.
Gotta agree on that. Although this is usually not the reviewer's fault since manufacturers tend to use full spec, top of the range models as press cars. Sure, sometimes it's nice to see all the goodies a certain car can offer, but let's be realistic here. Most of the people buy low end models with a few add on's, depending on their preference.
Had my Enyaq 80 for about a month now. Love it. It's got a better range (I've done 300 miles + on mixed speed roads) than the 60 reviewed here. Really easy and comfortable to drive and very good build quality. I had it parked next to a colleagues Tesla Model X last week and it compares pretty well. Looks are a subjective thing, but in terms of practicality, value and features I wouldn't swap.
Do you need to rent the battery?
@@TopblokeGolf No
Sure, the looks are subjective but here's one of those from me... Enyaq has a killer looks although I've never seen one in the flesh. But as far as photos and videos go it's a beautiful car with great value... Who knows, maybe in a few years I'll be getting one used..
do you need the dcc? adaptive suspension
I just don't understand the need for anything other than full regen - just like we use the accelerator to decide how fast to go, we can use it to decide how slow to go. After playing with the regen for a few weeks in my Model 3, I realised the whole setting was a waste of time. Whack it on full, you always want the extra energy back in the battery, and you quickly get used to it.
Hello What Car?, thank you for reviewing the ŠKODA ENYAQ iV. We appreciate your feedback and we are always interested in hearing about your experience.👍
The ID4 is better spec’d and therefore…better value.
So in other words......... Just like an ID4 but cheaper, a better put together package and a better interior!
And looks better!
Isn't this statement applicable for all Skoda/VW equivalent comparisons?
Very very good review, succinct and factual! Great presenter who deserves 10/10 for not trying to be a comedian.
I’m planning to order an Enyaq, brilliant car!
This is such an important car to show the EV market can offer affordable electric cars, all those luxury electric cars is just all noise for the common person.
I think you can control some of the functions of the touchscreen, using the strip of physical buttons further down.
I have been excited to see this review, really like it's styling, I like all the Skoda SUV cars styling actually, I think they blend an aggressive and upmarket stance pretty well, this seems to fit in very well. Although expensive in some ways especially in the higher spec model, it's a great alround family EV that seems to be really good quality, love the interior, they seem to have remembered it's a car and not a space ship. Decent user friendly or friendlier interface/infotainment system than most from this group and at this price point. Although it's bigger than its stable mate in some ways this is wat the ID 4 should have been. Looks like Skoda may be showing VW up again.
Ive been waiting for this video for agesssss😂😂😂 Cant wait to soak my eyes into a enyaq review in the magazine 😁😁😁😁
Thank you for going into some detail regarding trim levels :D
2021, the year when Skoda officially surpassed it's superior VW cousin. Both the new Octavia and Enyaq are levels better in terms of money spent.
I've had a few Skoda's and VW's. It's not a recent thing that Skoda is better than VW. Skoda's have been beautifully built for many years. I'd even say my Skoda Roomster (£15,000 when new) is better put together than my Jaguar XFR (£70,000 when new). The Jag might have lots of nice leather and carbon and polished metals and the Skoda lots of plastic but those buts of plastic in the Skoda are solidly put together
I was studio engineer at Porsche in 1990 working on the 989 and my wife asked me why was no umbrella in the door as she had identified the getting wet issue when leaving the car. So I gave the idea to my boss and it got used, now all vehicles can use this idea and we never even got a thank you letter from Porsche as I was a contractor there. That's life.
The RR had this feature many many years ago.
Thanks,I am tempted, I have an eNiro which is brilliant, but I miss the size.Just like the Kia,there will be badge snobs, but Skoda and Kia make some amazing cars,and I would be proud to drive a Skoda.
Great review! You deserve more views.
Great review!
Skoda is always good value for the price IMHO!
If a body would want to purchase this car in AMERICA , could we order one and have it shipped to a USA port ? Any chance SKODA might begin selling the ENYAQ in a dealership in AMERICA > Really sold on this SUV. Great Review.
Really excellent review by someone who has studied the options well! Some of the other reviewers (in this same car actually) failed to point out that some of the features in this car are optional, whereas this chap pointed out the extras.
A comprehensive and very informative review.
Great video, thanks
Great stort review!
A very engaging review 👍
Nice review. New subscriber.
My pre reg karoq with 8 miles was 19k, has 500 mile range and 5 minute fill up. The prices and range of these is crazy and beyond the pockets of most, back to the 50's living standards for most of us, just be aware of how eco is really going to market our lives a lot poorer.
@BananaPeal0 The utilities are eager for us to have smart meters, and while rarely they pay you to use the electricity the time will come when they charge you different rates depending on when you boil your kettle, as we won't have the generation capacity in the charges are going to be high to dissuade us from heating our homes. Studies in the UK show with our costs you might save £100 over 3 years, because of the high initial cost there's not that much difference between ICE and EV. I do drive 330 miles in a day visiting relatives up north, all motorway which at 70 mph really reduces the range of an EV, I likely won't be able to charge at the destination and a 5 minute comfort break at a Motorway services won't add much of a charge. UK politicians have committed to carbon zero but have no plans to insulate the housing stock and no plans to increase generating capacity to allow the move away from gas, I'd quite like an EV but they are expensive, don't have the range, take too long to fill up and in the UK the infrastructure just isn't ready or likely to be in the next 8 years, the only company that has the act together is Tesla.
I am looking for an electric car around the 30k mark in April next year. This is the most interesting car i have seen yet that fits what i want it to do.
starts at almost 35k for poverty spec. much better options out there. they actually quote £645 for a charging cable that can be bought for £150-£200. Even a heat pump is an optional extra!!!
@@madonemt a Heat Pump is Not nessesary
Not necessary, but try selling any car without one.
I like the Enyak, but the ones Ive seen for sale recently are £50k-£80K !!!
Nice review. Surely the ‘Simply Clever’ ice scraper is superfluous given you can preheat the cabin....one of the best features of EVs.
I'm wondering if you have the scraper in case you can't charge at home? No reviewers ever say if we can preheat the interior while not plugged in (as you can in the Leaf and Zoe)!
@@computerbob06 I’d be surprised if you can’t preheat the cabin when not plugged in on this car. You certainly can on the BMW i3 and Teslas too unless the state of charge is very low.
The scraper is super small. So to me this is only an option when you forgot to turn on preheating, but need to leave as fast as possible in the morning. Certainly does not hurt to have it.
@@computerbob06 yes you can, but it is a bit counter productive as it goes against the range you can do afterwards
A helpful review, I think range is still an issue for someone commuting 140 miles a day in the winter. The Enyaq looks like it may overcome this if the heat pump option is added. The car looks to be great value like most Skodas.
Feel for you, pal you could do with a new job
I'm currently considering switching to an EV - My shortlist includes this, the Kia EV6 and the Huyndai IONIC 5 :) I like this, but it's almost too big for my needs ;P
Those 3 car is almost similar size so size won't be factor when you choose one.
Looks like a good all around car 🚗
What us the green plastic thing at 0:17, he pulls from the rear tailgate?
The crystal face is not available on the 60, plus if you want some extras, you have to buy a complete pack which can cost you up to £4,500!
To the guy in the video: ever wondered what that inverted carrot on top of "s" in "Škoda" signified? It is to pronounce it as "sh", as in "sugar". Think about it.
*caret
@@evo5dave gotta be accessible to the masses: few people know the meaning of tilde, umlaut, or caret
The pricing vs ID.4 is really dependent on what options you want. I wanted Travel Assist, which can be selected for a couple thousand euro. With VW, you must then choose at least Tech, which is a bit more expensive again, but that gives you the pano roof, electric memory seats with massage, 360° view, and almost every bell and whistle. If you add those options to the Enyaq, the you end up another €4000-5000 more expensive again...
Good car for the budget.
What budget? Its a very expensive ev unless you are happy with very basic spec.
is this a mid size suv? perhaps similar to a rav4 in terms of size?
Excellent review, thanks.
So a tesla model y is now 108k erm no
Are all the car review channels just passing the same car around? Haha
yeah just saw three reviews in the same car,hope one of them charged it🤔🤔🤔
Yes!
But it does give you a good mix of reviews on the same car!
Yep they all get a day main reviewers.
Global review
Exact same number plate
Hasn’t got a great range, considering size of vehicle, this is perhaps understandable. Lots of features but as I understand it, Skoda are going with the VW catalogue. You choose the base model at a lower price, then spec. & pay for all the things you actually need/want. If you want it all, the optional extras, (not including wheels) could be an additional £15,969+. If you want it a bit cheaper, don’t buy the Skoda branded kettle for £172. And if you never carry passengers, don’t opt for rear cabin USBs or rear airbags to save another £620.
I was in one the other week and it was a dull and boring experience. The model was top of the line, not the entry one.
It was like sitting in any other car. In fact the interior of the regular Octavia which is almost a 3rd of the price of the Enyaq is quite literally the same. I expected more from the second row of seats - they don't sit flat when you fold them. Also they missed the opportunity to make it a real "three seater" - if you have three kids you'll struggle to fit the car seats. So it is a family car in a way, but not for every family.
From EV point of view it's interesting, as a whole package not so much. It's a regular car with EV drivetrain. If you are into Tesla, Faraday etc. it's not for you.
What options would you consider essential and what does that do to the price?
125kW charging is something you definitely should not skip, in my opinion. It costs about 500EUR - around 400 pounds I believe - , which is kind of mean from Skoda, and I don't think they should make this optional, definitely not when higher powered chargers are being rolled out in most countries. Good range PLUS fast charging makes ICE cars redundant. Even when you don't do long trips often, the benefit of being able to charge your car from almost empty to 80% in half an hour is significant. It is rumored that the speed eventually will be upgraded to 170kW through an over the air update. If that's true it will definitely be a great road tripping car (especially with the 77kWh battery) - driving 1000kms in one go will be no problem whatsoever. If you have 50kW charging that's a whole different matter, and it might be VERY frustrating.
The rest of the options are (imho) not really essential, but things like adaptive cruise control and travel assist are definitely nice to have if you do longer trips regularly. The granny charger is not included (it's an option) but you can get far cheaper and equally good cables online as well, so I don't see that as a problem.
@@davidsommen1324 I agree wholeheartedly. Charging will be your biggest gripe, so get the best you can. It’s actually very well equipped otherwise. Definitely skip on the large wheels. The larger the wheel, the worse the range.
You can go into the configuration and check all the options you like... Skoda lets you select options almost individually. But they will add up quickly... Even the ice scraper is an extra option...
@@bilgyno1 Extra or not extra, you still always pay for it. Better off choosing what you want to pay for and what you don’t, than Volkswagen deciding for you.
@@afcgeo882 good point. On VW there were some nice options that required an entire tier upgrade giving me things I didn’t need
We are seeing more and more boats with solar power why can solar not be built into the charging systen to increase the driving range?
The Hyundai Ionic 5 has that as an option. Agree with BananaPeal though that the benefits may be limited in the UK!
When travelling on water, weight isn't very expensive in terms of speed and efficiency. On tarmac, weight is incredibly expensive. You can easily put another few hundred kilos on a boat without it being a big deal, a few hundred kilos on a car makes the engine having to work so much harder, especially when accelerating.
It's for this reason most freight around the world is done by ship, and not by truck. It is cheaper to run a big and heavy ship with iron ore around Africa, than to send it with thousands of trucks.
I like the way UK EV grants work since they appear to encourage car Cos to lower EV prices and to benefit lower income buyers. The tax rebate system in the USA seems to benefit the rich and car Cos because they have no incentive to lower prices. Am I wrong/missing something?
I don't know the business model of UK manufacturers but I wouldn't be surprised if prices are higher due to the subsidy. It's not called Rip Off Britain for nothing.
What’s the rough cost of servicing EVs ? It never seems to get mentioned
Aside from things like tires and wipers, the annual service is minimal. It's mostly cabin filters and inspections. The biggest expense is probably if the brake rotors and pads have to be changed due to rust, which is a fairly common problem. There's usually no servicing of the motor and gearbox, aside from maybe changing the fluid every few hundred thousand kilometers.
I love the size and range but sadly won't be coming to the USA
The VW ID4 will though. It's a little bit pricier but still potentially interesting.
@BananaPeal0 I don't know about America, here in Australia the Enyaq probably won't be offered at all so those who are after an electric SUV will have to get the ID.4 (if they want a VAG product, that is, and don't want to pay the much higher price for an Audi E-tron. Otherwise there are other brands available of course). Of course more electric cars will need an electric infrastructure to match. Again in Australia charging stations are few and far in between and then there is the electricity generation problem because yeah, solar panels and wind turbines won't cut it. There are many good reasons to electrify the automobile but for that to really happen we need nuclear reactors and in the interim, yes, coal. Still, call me a heretic but I think the Enyaq is good in that there is nothing exciting or unusual about it. It's every bit as comfortable, dull, practical, spacious and uninspired as a family SUV should be, so it avoids the "electric cars are inferior/ugly/not real cars" trap and it's without question the best value for money in its segment at the moment.
Just been on the configurator wow you can soon make it a very expensive Skoda! - The heat pump, is it for conditioning the battery or for heating the interior or both? Not very obvious on their site. Also how much do larger size wheels effect the range.
Great review thanks
Just for the battery
Heat pumps work for both. In most EVs, resistive elements are used to heat the air and they are VERY inefficient. A heat pump will save you up to 30% of your charge in the winter.
Large wheels do affect your range too. Depends on the weight of rim, width of tyre, road and speeds, but it’s a real amount. I’d stick with the smallest available.
Its insanely expensive just to configure to nissan leaf level of kit.
The 20" alloys where were £0 upgrade until they realised their mistake and now they are £530.
its both not sure why reviewers keep thinking its just battery heating... the standard car can still heat the battery its just less efficient with a resistive heater
Can we please outsource the provision of all public fast charging points to the Germans so that they actually work 😰
I’d have a Tesla…………sell it buy one of these and pocket the difference.
Great in depth review. I will however wait for a 7 seater adaptation.
The only thing about modern Skoda i don't like is I can't do the Skoda jokes anymore 😭😂🤣
I was expecting you to compare it to Model Y.
Spec Enyaq out as close as possible to Model Y and compare wins and losses.
there is no point ...it doesn't compare to the model y in any category.
When are u reviewing Id4? Cant wait 🙏
Hah, the Enya joke was the first thing I thought about when I saw the car. Looks like Rolls Royce isn't the only brand with an umbrella in the door, anymore.
Funny how Skoda Australia never heard of this car , Perth Skoda in vic park , also went WHAT ???? No way 🥴🥴
The iD.4 is way more expensive because it gets the bigger battery as standard. so yeah.
Not true, Škoda costs less with same battery size.
I’ll wait until it comes with physical buttons and not that touch-crap (and please NOT digital (on/off/up/down) controls for analog values (volume/temperature/etc).
Has What Car forgotten to upload thier ID.4 review?
Don't worry - we're planning to film an ID.4 review in the coming weeks! Until then, check out our written review at whatcar.com.
@@whatcar btw both cars have no Single speed automatic, the power transmission has nothing to do with a automatic, its just a 1:1 transmission from the e-motor to wheels.
Still amazes me that people think 30K is reasonable, still, a lot of people out there can't afford half that.
It would be more than I've ever spent on a new car and I buy new all the time.
Considering a cost saving of 1k a year in fuel and ownership of let’s say 8 years, really this is 22k. Or conversely, you buy a petrol or diesel for 20k and own it for 8 years, it’s going to cost you nearer 30 by the end of its life and that’s without any major service issues.
Plenty of people can't afford a new car. How is that a surprise?
yes. Average car on the UK roads is 7 years old, with a 14 year lifespan. Many people never spend more than a few thousand on a car.
It’s got a real Orinoco Flow
Well done Skoda, now get the price down!
Your audio level is too low, all cars should be reviewed with lowest possible priced model only then manufacturers would start to make better cars because now you could make the car cost 50% more and you still get the same car, not the same but kind of is.
Sadly the noise level outside from EV's is same as ICE. Don't think that life will get quieter. I thought 3D tvs were good as well.
no, they are not. The noise you refer to is artificially added so that the pedestrians hear the car coming, otherwise they would be killing machines for them. Yes they also make other sounds like cooling system enganging, but those are nothing compared to the ´´noise´´ speakers
No one is ever going to want to steal it 👍
Great car
256 miles claimed range, 185 miles real world. Welcome to the brave new world of electric cars.
Just like petrol and diesel cars. The claimed range is just a way to compare different models, just as the mpg/fuel consumption numbers. Not an actual range or fuel consumption. Everyone knows that.
@@martinottosson6583 Lol. Exactly. Wonder what the big fuss has been then during the last years about ICE cars consumption being worse than officially declared? Joking aside, the difference is that I can fill up the petrol car in 5 mins of course. The claimed/real range difference is a much more important factor in case of EVs.
@@lanista78 Sure, but in reality most EV drivers almost never charge apart from overnight home charging. Even the real world range is plenty for 95% of peoples driving. The range is highly overrated as a parameter in an electric car as long as it is somewhere around 200 miles or more. 185 or 250 doesn´t really matter that much for most of us. What is important is instead the charging performance curve of the vehicle (not just the charging top speed) for the few time you actually do rapid charge, the density and quality of the charging network that you can use and often forgotten the precision of the range quessometer. None of those are mentioned in most EV reviews, unfortunately.
@@martinottosson6583 A very good point about the importance of the charging curve rather than the 'top charging speed'.
There's a very interesting charging comparison video on the RSymons channel where they took 6 different EVs over to the new Gridserve facility in Braintree, Essex.
Despite the relative inefficiency of the Audi E-tron they took, in comparsion to the Tesla Model 3 - meaning the Tesla had WAY more battery % left as they arrived - because of the Audi's wider charge speed 'curve', it had filled its battery and left before the Tesla, even with its supposed faster charge speed.
A fascinating video to watch, if you're interested... :-)
@@martinottosson6583 "plenty for 95% of people's driving". So for the other 5% (like when I visit my parents at the other end of the country) I do what....hire a petrol car? That will wipe out quite a lot of fuel savings. Or own an ICE car just for long trips? Ditto. Go by public transport and make a whole day of it? Well that's okay if I have little luggage. Don't fall for the marketing babble about average journey length.
What is the towing capacity?
RWD 1000 kg and AWD 1200 kg.
It's all very interesting but lets get real, they are all too expensive for most people. The range is pants on all of them. I can get 400+ miles out of my car and it takes me less than 5 minutes to refuel and be in and out of the service station. No hunting for charging points. It really needs to be a lot better than this before a lot of people can consider making the change. Sorry, I do like them but they are just not that practical for longer journeys.
What about charging at home?
@@Tom_McMurtry Yes, to be honest a home charging point seems an almost mandatory piece of kit. I could have several very easily but for many people that is not an option. People without a home charge point are the ones likely to be clogging up the charging points elsewhere. I had a word with my local main dealer who told me that people are asking questions about converting but are more interested in hybrid vehicles at the moment. I am sure that I will eventually have electric wheels but it's simply not practical for me right now. Some reviewers have already been questioning the availability of charging points and that's with very few of these vehicles on the road. What about when everybody has an electric car. A good illustration is a motorway service area. The amount of vehicles clocking in and out needing fuel is huge. Now imagine if everybody took 50 minutes to refuel! Fast charging will have to get a lot better than it is at the moment. ;-)
@@johnnyhollis9977 newer batteries coming out over the nect few years at least look to be a bunch faster at charging. Hopefully more progress is made with infrastracture soon. Thanks for the reply!
@@Tom_McMurtry Nice to talk ! Yes lets hope they can get things sorted out! ;-)
@@Tom_McMurtry That’s assuming everyone has a driveway - which they don’t. What happens if you only have Street parking, or live in an apartment/flat?
Yeah looked at it but it's too long for my garage.
A great car, but the price is still much higher than a comparable Kodiaq...
That sounds like a very good car actually (for those who like SUVs...)
Why does everyone compare enyaq to Tesla M3? They’re not meant to be compared. Enyaq is a family suv and M3 is a sporty sedan. Or is it a hatchback. Anyways you wouldn’t compare a golf and range rover
"...which is an optional extra" is something you'll hear a lot when watching Enyaq reviews. Yes, that provides customer choice but means it's not necessarily the bargain the headline price suggests. What Car should remove the misleading "£32,000" banner and provide the real model price! Try out Skoda's configurator and do a true comparison.
@BananaPeal0 it's not 32k -> 29.5k.
It's 34.5k -> 32k.
A small price to pay for an umbrella
Perfect pricing. Great design, looks like a very nice SUV. Really nice premium interior. Couldn’t even guess it was an EV. Now, that Skoda badge…
What about the badge? would you care to conclude?
Smaller is a virtue!
'Loads of room under the boot floor'. Why not fill it with a spare then?
That would add weight
not to mention, that the main motor is there
6:38 careful with hand sanitiser touching car interiors folks
The only thing I hate about this car is the non-body coloured bumpers and side skirts 🤢
pls come to India
This car actually costs 10k euros more than the Model Y in europe
Looks amazing
Clearly if you configure this car with the same level of equipment that a Model Y, it is much more expensive... just try
Can you de spec the Model Y to this spec and price?
Indeed. Not even close to worth it. And no superchargers. Couldn't believe they wanted £645 for a charging cable.
A Tesla Model y can Not delivered Witz Matrix led or Traffic Sign oder hud. I bought a Enyaq 80 For 34,5 teur With Travel Assist, navi, family pack and Klima pack Basic und 125 Charger….. a Modell y is 15 teur More expansive…..
@@joemeino7865 how can you afford this car but not a dictionary?
love the beefy front, but the rear looks ugly... :/
Nice review but the headline thumbnail is misleading ie £32000 and 333 miles. At that money you will be lucky to see 200 miles. But I do like the Enyaq. My biggest issue I have is nearly everything is optional. Yes it’s bigger than the Kia e Niro but at the spec level of the Kia you will be paying a lot more than the price of the Kia and I bet it will not match the Kia’s range in the real world. But I would consider one but you would have to be careful when ticking the options list.
So your issue is that you have to pay for things?
@@afcgeo882 no I don’t mind paying for things. It’s just at that price point you would think some of the options would be standard. The options list reads like an Audi list not a Skoda one. Nobody is going to buy the car in standard trim so all I’m saying is you would have to tick the list very carefully or you may find your paying way to much and as such could loose in resale at the other end because certain options add no value at trade in time. So in short you could be loosing more money than you would like. As an example tick the lot and you would be paying £55000 for a Skoda. Crazy.
@@stephenclay6852 Okay... I’ll bite... What 7 passenger SUV offers better equipment at £31k? Many people do buy cars in standard form, by the way.
@@afcgeo882 the Skoda doesn’t come with 7 seats in the uk anyway. But you don’t get it. you won’t be paying £31000 for a start the on the road price is £31995 that’s more like £32000 by the time you have ticked a few of the options like 100 kw charging the £1000 heat pump you will need or in the winter your range will drop dramatically and a nice colour. That’s just took the price up to between £34000 to £34500 colour dependant. I would say a realistic price most will pay is about £38000 and that’s for a big heavy car with a realistic range of 200 to 220 miles. The best modal is the one with the 80 battery and that will be a realistic £40000 on the road. Don’t get me wrong the car is a great car but you have to be realistic with the price when you come to swop the car a few years down the line prospective buys won’t the bells and whistles not a basic car.
Luddite’s out in force commenting here. EV’s are the future, this is still relatively early technology and it’s pretty incredible. Petrol and Diesel are a dying technology get over it!
Only full EVs make any sense. Self-charging hybrids and plug-in hybrids are poor compromises, and until the charging infrastructure is good and reliable I'll stick with my economical and reliable Diesel.
Can reviewers please stop getting excited about a cheap umbrella! I have one in my boot. It's that that wild.
£40.000 for 170 miles thx no
I think the Kia EV6 is still my front runner
4:05 trypophobia trigger
Front looks like the last gen BMW X5 f15
These new electric cars remind me of the bulky camera phones of the early noughties that used to cost 300 quid, which was a small fortune back in the day. Yes, we needed to go through that to get to the cheap, slim, and fast smartphones of today, -- there's no way around it -- but I won't be the one buying the car equivalent of a 300-quid Nokia camera phone. I'm grateful to the people who do, though, because that's the only way to finance the cheap electric cars of the future.
why would anyone get anything other than a tesla...this is silly.
this car is almost the same as a tesla. wireless charging, seperate screen, same seating, mobile app, etc
4 wheels and a trunk also
I must say that I think the Enyaq is a bit boring in design. Especially the rear end.
So why "obviously an SUV"? It looks more like an estate to me.
An SUV is a pretend 4*4 with no storage space, a high driving position and not sporty....
Again can they scale and do they really make money. Nope.
50kw charging as standard lol.
