Didn't see your comment before I posted mine but yes, I would be melted into my seat after an hour with that heat in there! The man's a range killer! 😂
370 km is not bad in winter ! I just did a 296 km round trip today with my Enyaq 80. Displayed consumption was 22,3 kwh/100km. Started with 100% and came back with 2% 😁. 2 to 4 °C, foggy weather, 40% Autobahn/60% Landstrasse up and downhill, 200kg payload on the halfway back... Not so good a 13:05 nd not so de bad 😊
Great video, I collect my Enyaq 85 (my first EV) in April, I can’t wait. Sadly I no longer live in Germany, I was in Bielefeld and the area for many years but was defeated by Brexit. It looks like a German road trip shouldn’t be too difficult.
You'll love it. We took delivery of our 85x Sportline Plus in late January and it's fantastic. It's our first EV too. We charge at night for 6.7p per kwh and it costs virtually nothing to run as long as you can charge at home.
@@Anonymouseys I’m getting the sportline plus as well! Just a few weeks left to wait, and yes, I can charge at home. I accidentally had a zappi charger installed when my solar and battery were installed last year (I hadn’t asked for one, they just said did I want it, so of course I said yes!)
Lovely video, Chris! As usual. 😊❤ You covered everything BUT the charging speed. Please always include the max kW charging figure when driving different cars. After a year with my Tesla, I've learned to focus less on range and more on charging speed. There are times when I consider e.g. a Kia e-Niro (with its 7 year warranty), but with charging speed at maximum 75 kW, it makes the Kia a less compelling alternative for us who like to make cross-Europe journeys. Again, thanks for great videos! 🌹🏵
So in reality you can add 90 kms on to that range because no body else will have the fan on 3, pumping 23 degrees into the car while having the seat heater on, while wearing a coat! 😂
Thank you for reviewing the Enyaq. I am in the market for a new company car and ID7, full options Enyaq and Model Y LR or Performance are left on my shortlist. In NL the Model Y is cheapest to drive due to fiscal treatment of company cars. What can you share about comfort of the Enyaq DCC vs ID7 DCC. Is the ID7 another league or at par with Enyaq? How do you value both cars vs Model Y ? Thanks and grusse aus NL.
Looking at the WLTP figures, I think this car should be doing the following - WLTP - Pure Electric Range (km) - Comb - TEH 534. You only got 373km which seems shockingly low. I thought this might be an EV I could go for, but I'm not sure now 😒
Just drove home from work in my ID4 4 degrees and 110km/h mix of uphill and downhill but i went in both directions and got about 20.5. Soo whats the efficiency gain here?
It’s a good job the car almost drives itself , because you’re not paying attention to the road. Too many distractions in new cars, and you’re distracted by them all.
Not sure your wishes will come true. EU tends to make weight legislations on cars for taxes and even parking so the tendency is to reduce the battery weight but increase efficiency. That is were the futur improvements will come from.
The battery of the 85X is also 77 kWh net and 82 gross. Its another cell chemistry. Same as the ID.7. The RWD 85 has the old cell chemistry which only allows 135 kW charging speed.
@@drakonhawk that is why i ordered a id4 4 motion lifemax. I get the slightly more powerfull new motor and the 175 kW charging speed combine with manual preheating!
@@jimibalel one of my cars is Enyaq 80 rwd 20inch wheels. Here in Italy quite hilly and with family of 5 my recent consumption is abt 22.5kwt. Normally with only me inside the car - consumption is 19-20kwt (average speed 104kmh). So to my opinion - too many talks abt new engines which in fact make no visible difference. 🤷🏼
Hard to say. I think in WLTP cycle, it was few km. In Real world range, probably in margin of error. I just want to point out, there are other variables. Maybe gains are mainly in regen braking, which you don't use that much in 110 km/h const speed test. There are consumtion numbers for different wheels and trims. There is clearly some disadvantage of these R20 wheels, i think it Is somethink like 0.5kWh/100km, but that could be higher in different speed.
@@Juuythljgrrdwq For the first few thousand kilometers, the internal friction is actually greater and so is the consumption. When the car has around 10,000-20,000 km, the bearings, seals, sleeves, joints, etc. have worn in and consumption drops.
@@Juuythljgrrdwq with what explanation? Are there no gears, bearings (including ball/roller/cone bearings), sleeves, joints on the drive axles, wheel bearings, etc. installed there?
23° and seat heating with winter clothing, I would simply die 😅 I usually go between 18-20° with seat and steerin wheel heating on in my PS2.
Didn't see your comment before I posted mine but yes, I would be melted into my seat after an hour with that heat in there! The man's a range killer! 😂
You're right, 19° would be enough with winter cloth on, maybe he 'likes' his eggs boiled.........
16-19 with winter clothing on. Sometimes even AC is needed when 16C is too warm.

Efficiency seems good with winter tires, cold temp outside and warm cockpit. Pretty impressed, that's great

I love the styling of the Enyaq. I would prefer it to the ID.4 but sadly it’s not sold in the US
Great review :) Can you please also do range test with 130 km/h from 100 % to 1 %?
Hey all. Any idea how much range would increase (%wise) by going from 21 to 20 or 19 inches rims?
Looking at the WLTP figures, I think this car should be doing the following - WLTP - Pure Electric Range (km) - Comb - TEH
534. You only got 373km which seems shockingly low. I thought this might be an EV I could go for, but I'm not sure now 😒
Not everybody in Germany drives 130, but nobody drives 110 on the Autobahn!
110 or 112 is probably what usa and the brits do, also it is the speed in EV database highway consumption.
Just drove home from work in my ID4 4 degrees and 110km/h mix of uphill and downhill but i went in both directions and got about 20.5. Soo whats the efficiency gain here?
RWD or 4WD?
Which is better for 5 adults on long trips +200Km ID. 7 or Enyaq
Clearly the Id.7 without a doubt.
Is that the Loft interior Trim? I ordered an Enyaq as a company car but didn't have the chanse to see the Loft interior :)
No, it is the Lounge
It’s a good job the car almost drives itself , because you’re not paying attention to the road. Too many distractions in new cars, and you’re distracted by them all.
Great video. But handheld camera, when driving? Remember to have a lifeinsurence and a donorcard. It's just stupid.
I wish to see Skoda Enyaq 85X with a bit bigger battery , 85kWh netto 90kWg gross . Maybe next year ;)

@@maverick2368-n7u There is no much to do with efficiency of current EV . New batteries are needed with energy density 450Wh/kg currently 270Wh/kg

@@drakonhawk Great news but it is still not enough to reach real range 400km at speed od 120km/h ( two adult people inside )
Ordered this car only because regulations in Belgium are forcing us to buy electric bullshit. Never been more unhappy about a new car arriving soon..
New motor… old consumption..🤓
L&K trim R20 wheels are not efficient 😉 also who knows for which speed was new motor tuned

@@jimibalel totally agree with all the above said😉
Why did that put in that small driver display? It looka bad😂
Unfortunately, it will be my next "car". Coming from a VW Arteon I'll have to adjust myself to that piece of crap.
Is this on 82Kw battery? That would be disappointing.
Please tell how to activate travel assistance
Steering wheel has a button for it, right hand side.
Pull the Stalk at 6:12 towards you to activate Travel Assist or ACC.
Paying too much attention to the screen display and not enough attention to the road ,an accident waiting to happen.
Motor is bran new, software is bran new so we will get updates and consumption will improve! I'm faitfull 🙂
Just like kids waiting for santa….

range is worse then the 1st gen Enyaq 🤣🤣
Not 74kWh, but 77kWh usable batterypower
Or 75.5?
Who drive 110 on highway
me
Do you know, Skoda has never won "CAR OF THE YEAR". But they sell plenty...😂 Bet this years winner will be a flop..
Tbh, very very disappointed! EU should only allow EV’s on the road that can make minimum 600 real KMS! Finish your homework again, carmakers!
