Very good review, With a Nice and easy to understand english and without music in background. Thanks! 👍😊
Pleasure, glad you liked the video and thanks for the lovely comment!
Great review, thanks. Looking forward to the review of the stereo system
Thank you; audio review to follow soon!
That was a great review, ty.
Pleasure, glad you found the review useful!
Another great review. In addition, you can see why it's the number one choice.
Many thanks again!
Nice review. Thank you.
The charge cable stored under the boot space is actually really dumb, but lot of EV's go this way for some reason. It assumes the boot is empty, but then why would you buy an SUV, and go on a long journey with nothing in the boot (covering this hatch!) Cable should be stored in a side pocket I would think.
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the review! As for the underfloor compartment - it saves cables being flown around in the boot, and as the side compartments are usually a little small, the underfloor area is a great place to put them.
Been having your channel recommended to me by TH-cam for a couple of weeks now, so today I gave in and watched your video excellent job + new subscriber! On the extras issue considering how much extra they are charging for EV’s over ICE would it hurt to add in a few extras for free like an electric tailgate? also £400 for a couple of picnic tables is ridiculous, also does any of the extras get added on a higher spec model for “free”?
Ha, that's amazing - thanks TH-cam/you!
Agreed on the extras here with you, and yes indeed, they do get added as standard in the higher-spec trims - check our written review that goes into a little more details on this: totallyev.net/skoda-enyaq-iv-review-volkswagen-id-4-alternative/
Great review. Can you please do one for Skoda Enyaq 85..
Thank you! That's unlikely to happen, but you never know!
This video is “ very much appreciated “
Much appreciated.
I thought I recognised the number plate.... saw this one 'KY21 XPX' at the British Motor Show, Farnborough Airport today
Ah brilliant, was there on Thursday! Great event :)
Love the Enyaq. Definitely better looking than ID 4, KiA, Ioniq or even Tesla Y. Maybe a notch below the Mach E and definitely not as atractive as Audi's EV SUV. But where Enyaq beats everybody is the value. Price is extremely reasonable. Even the entry level model looks decent and has a lot of equipment. I would skip on those 21" wheels probably. They look good but the ride is harsh and tires cost an arm and a leg.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
This was a really good review, covered all the little details. Really appreciate the research you’ve done into it rather than just reading the press script that lots seem to do.
Thanks Tom, really appreciate comments such as these. Glad you liked the detailed review!
@@TotallyEV ionic 5 is far superior and cheaper than an ugly enyaq
@@seanholdom9739 in what way is it superior? Namely when it comes to boot capacity?
Nice review, looking forward to your Hyundai Ionic 5 review!
Thanks Roy! That's on the cards, but won't be for a few months.
I enjoyed watching the Video Review ☺️. Smarter. Inside than the Volkswagen ID.4
Glad you liked the review and agree with the assessment inside the cabin too!
I'd take this Skoda over any Kia or Hyundai.. Better looking, more practical, more space.. Sure, the price is not competative with Ioniq and KIA Soul EV but both of those cars are a class under Enyaq.
But it's the badge😢 Skoda yuck
In auto regen my iv 60 does have 3 levels of regen and it does come to a halt. If the road is clear it will coast but if it's not clear then it will bring the car to a halt.
Thanks for sharing!
Another great in depth review...Regards the grille I agree but choosing a colour that blended in with it rather than highlighted would be the remedy there I think.
For sure the options that I would personally want make this a very expensive car indeed....especially as you rightly pointed out compared to say the brilliantly equipped Kia Soul EV which I purchased recently and is now driven by my partner.
At the end of the day what the Enyak offers above any of the competition is enormous space mixed with Skoda practicality combined with excellent range, so for me it's the only EV that I would presently consider as a replacement for my Skoda Yeti L&K.
I'm personally waiting until next year however to make a final decision because the 300hp VRS Enyaq will be available then which hopefully will also offer a good range, coupled with sharp handling and a balanced 4WD power delivery. It should offer the best of all worlds ... albeit at a price :-(
Glad you liked the review!
For the grille, that's a good point; that'll definitely help, but wonder if people would opt for that.
Ha, indeed the RS/vRS should be an animal by comparison, but the price...you'll probably be looking at north of £50k; at which point it'll be down to practicality, as the Volvo XC40 Recharge Twin is an absolute weapon!
@@TotallyEV Choosing Quartz grey metallic would sort the grille out quite well...to my eyes anyway.
I'm thinking with options the vRS could well be in the £60k region making the Volvo Recharge probably the straight line performance choice £ for £....but ....which car is going to handle the best and which one doesn't come with built in range anxiety..?.....I think the vRS will score much better there....time will tell..🙂
The Volvo gets around 240-250 miles, and gets to 60mph in a tested 4.51s - the latter figure being very hard to beat. However, in terms of boot space and interior capacity, there's a clear winner, the Skoda!
@@TotallyEV Wow are you sure the Volvo can do 240-250 in actual real world driving..?...I was thinking easily sub 200 unless one had a feather duster for a right foot...!!
Haha nope, was very much impressed, have a look at the review on the channel :)
Very much like the look of this car and side by side, I think it outshines the ID.4. My problem with it is the several yards long options list. It seems that for your 33k base list price you get 4 wheels, a battery, a motor and a body shell. If you want a battery that is similar to other cars in its segment the start price for your shell is 39k. Then start adding options - and everything else is an option. So by the time you spec it up to a level that is comparable to other cars it competes with, you have added another 8 - 10k and suddenly it looks very expensive. Nice as it is, I'd rather have a Kia EV6, that's next generation. For similar money.
Totally agree with you in terms of the options, it's quite ridiculous. But still, without everything added on, and as the bigger battery iV 80 - you have to consider you're getting a bigger boot and longer range than most EVs on the market.
@@TotallyEV Hi and thanks for the thorough review. It is perhaps because english is not my native language but I still dont quite understand why it is ”ridiculous” to spend more money on options (design packages)? I do understand that Skoda Enyaq with all the options is quite expensive car but so are the other cars too with similar level of options. Audi Q4 etron for instance… okay it is Audi but where is the actual difference?
What do you think about the ventilated steering wheel? Saw it was an option
Wasn't an issue when testing, but that said the UK isn't exactly a hot country haha
The real test will be a few years from now when battery packs are failing due to having been rushed into production on a budget. This has already begun with EVs that are a few years old and through no fault of owners.
Will indeed be interesting to see what happens!
When you have to add £7000 of extras to get a decent spec that would cost about half based on the individual costs only for the items wanted. The problems of VW group cars is the linked extras where you have to get something you don't want or need but have to be included. Is this a way to make the car more attractive for the dealer forecourt second hand market at the end of the PCP plan. Why not just put them as an accessory package as that is what you are having to purchase. Don't even start on the ridiculous oversized wheels with the rubber band tyres.
Absolutely agreed on the options there; some of them don't make sense.
Any idea what the tiny yellow car is at 22:12? looks like a shortened Mini :)
Yes that's correct it was an original mini, that had been converted, haha!
@@TotallyEV thanks for that...ideal for Noddy :)
Haha!
I think you (thankfully) can control the volume via buttons in the wheel. And those are proper buttons
Hopefylly we'll start getting actual ev wagons too. Would be more practica ,better looking and should be more aerodynamic too.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts, and congratulations on the purchase! Presume that's the 80x sportline you ordered?
@@TotallyEV It was the 80x Iv version, so barebones, powerty spec. Didn't find anything that nice in the Sportline to justify the extra 5k in cost. Just tow hook, winter package (heated rear seats and windscreen, the heatpump is included in all Enyaqs in Finland) and metallic color. Pretty boring colors available only :/.
Man I hope Skoda or someone would make nice large electric wagon during next 4 years. Don't care for crossovers, but there isn't much more to choose from if you need a large trunk and towing capability.
Sounds good! You'll definitely have plenty of space in the Skoda.
There are a few coming up - Hyundai recently announced a 7-seater; suspect there will be more to follow
Try adjusting the rear headrests to get the seats laying flat!!! 🙄
The Skoda looks relatively inexpensive until you start adding options and then it very quickly becomes expensive.
I do wonder about VAG quality these days too, especially build quality.
I'll start with my wonderful e-Niro 4+ thanks, which doesn't have an options list as everything is already there!
Great SUV indeed, when did you take delivery of the 4+?
@@TotallyEV It was delivered on 28th April this year. It's on a 4 year lease through my business. When I take into account fuel and tax savings due to my high mileage, it costs me about £120 per month (including servicing) to run it. If anyone can tell me of another car this good that I can lease for less, I'd be very interested!
@@geoffhemingway3926 that's brilliant; and indeed what a bargain!
Nice review
Thanks!
@@TotallyEV i ordered a iv 60 ecosuite on the 5th August 2023 ive been told a 13 week wait ?
Sounds about right unfortunately.
What’s the best size wheels 19-20 or 21
The smaller ones would give you the best range, but the looks are very subjective
You'd get a shock at extras pricing now. £2700 to get heated seats as they've grouped loads together
Unfortunately a few manufacturers are doing this, not good!
What's the point in the trim levels if you still have to pay through the arse for what I would call 'standard' options? I'm just waiting for the written review.
The trim levels are mainly to do with the look of the interior, rather than the options/features.
Written review is live, too :)
totallyev.net/skoda-enyaq-iv-review-volkswagen-id-4-alternative/
@@TotallyEV Thanks for clarifying. I've just read the written review too - excellent! I'm amazed you do not have more subscribers. Keep up the good work.
Thanks so much for the lovely comment! One can only hope it'll grow!
@@TotallyEV I hope it does keep growing and I wish you the best. Some of the best car reviewers such as Mat Watson do an excellent job but sometimes just don't give their audience the info they need. However, you go above and beyond and I commend that.
@@chrisbannister1233 thank you Chris, really appreciate the support!
I would not have an ID4. I have test driven the Enyaq and loved it, but the insane options list and I am afraid it has to be a Kia for me with that 7 year warranty. I just need the thirty thousand plus on my trade in to actually get one.
Which Kia did you end up getting and what trim level? Thanks for sharing your thoughts, too!
Is it Stag weekend worthy
Depends if you're PC Centric 😂
Re the car switching off when driver gets out, that’s not a new thing. My Superb estate does the same, so does our Range Rover. Simple to sort, have the passenger turn the radio on
Really? That's interesting, as it's a recent trend that's seemingly come from the EV market.
Skoda should have called the model the IV - Extra.
Haha!
You do realise both the KIA and Huyndai alternatives at price are much, much smaller? It's effectively comparing the higher range fiesta against a mid range Focus, the capacity, comfort and space available from a bigger car is a significant factor.
Of course, but your comparison isn't quite correct. Here, the bigger vehicle is offering more range and yet costs around the same. Nonetheless, they're alternatives worth considering.
I bought an id4 1st edition with heat-pump, on the road for £41k
Not bad at all - what made you choose the vehicle over some of its competitors?
@@TotallyEV the Scottish government 0%loan on EV’s. Amazing deal. The car was much more comfortable for the family than the Tesla M3. The post brexit/covid outlook was grim for buying anything so a general now or never vibe
@@DaraM73 ha, thanks for sharing!
It's a great looking good and good value but the number of options is ridiculous!
Agreed!
Love the car, just can't get past the cheap looking plastic fake grill on the front. It's lazy design, the ID4 did a much better job, and Teslas look great without one. They could have gone for a smooth spaceship look, but bottled it and decided to go for the mid 90s estate car instead.
Haha fair enough, thanks for sharing your thoughts on the design!
Just go for the unique crystal face grill
I'm getting 230 to 240 from my iv 60
That's brilliant, what type of driving/roads are you on?
Your comments re the car switching off when you get out the seat is wrong, as with all Skodas, if you want to leave the radio on, you press the start -stop button, very simple. Seems to me you were looking for issues
From memory, like with all vehicles from the VW group, after you step out the vehicle it'll power it down. It's only then that you can override the function by pressing the on/off button. Again, not ideal.
Not looking for issues, rather highlighting problems or quirks that some might not be aware of, as most other reviewers don't cover vehicles in such depth. Of course, you're welcome to believe whatever you want, best of luck!
It looks like motor companies just can’t get it right even with electric cars. So although I like the look of this car it will be a couple of years before I buy one.
What would you change on them?
@@TotallyEV The price for a start, It seems if you want a car with all the recognised “ extras “ that most Japanese cars give you as standard. You have to pay extra. An electric motor or motors that suit all , it isn’t just families that crowd into a car and shed off down to Cornwall. I look at Tesla reviews which are quite varied in what they think and the one out standing is the software glitches . The other thing isn’t the cars it’s the charging points, if you lived in a road full of “ Town houses “ where they have no garage facilities. Where are you going to put the charger?
@@mickyjb2003 indeed infrastructure is an issue for people living in flats (us included!). As for the price, ideally we'd love to see EVs start from £10k...one can only dream at this stage.
75'000 people seem to feel it's "right" enough for them, because that's how many orders Skoda now have for this car.
585 litres of boot space? While it’s perfectly decent…..*laughs in Skoda Superb 660 litres*
Haha.
Certainly much better looking. VW seem to have lost that.... desirability in their new designs. The expression ' bread van' springs to mind😃 I'm guessing it's a concerted effort by VW to make the VW badged EV's a bit anonymous on the road, just 'there'.
No fuss, no distinction, just getting on with the task in hand which in itself is commendable.
Thanks for sharing your thoughts!
Who buys a car this size? Often, people who want to put a bike on or in it. No mention of the fact that a bike goes in the back (seats down) with ease; no mention of the optional fully-equipped towbar that can take bikes or even a braked trailer - for an ev, on the back or inside is where you want the bikes, not on the roof: this is an excellent car for carrying bikes. We've ordered ours.
Great, thanks for sharing and enjoy your purchase, Mike.
We couldn't cover everything, but think we did a pretty good job - remember to be respectful.
I’ve ordered one as I have two large dogs! 🤣
@@joroca7229 ha, nice one!
Hi Mike, thank you for mentioning this and congratulations for joining the ŠKODA ENYAQ iV family. This car really gives you plenty of space in the boot with the volume of 585 L. 🙂
