I'm in the Midlands, but I've never driven a car without any heaters, especially so if there's no sun to warm the cabin, I also never wear a coat when I'm driving, it's not for me. I've just taken delivery of my 85, I'm not going to change the cabin temps (usually 21degs C), AC turned off until needed. One thing I immediately liked is that the range meter does adjust if I turn the heaters on, the difference was reduced by 80 miles of range (78% battery, 300miles without, 220miles with heating on). So it's immediately a more realistic measure rather than a surprise further into the journey. It's good to know how to eek out significantly more range if you need it though (to get home without charging on the go for example) - even if it means I need to wear a coat 😂. I thank you for that pro tip, I will put it to the test to gain an insight on what my actual results might be before I find myself needing it 👍
@@andrewedwards7880 I don't turn the heater off, I just take control of it from the computer. Down south where you are it's usually milder anyway. I left home last week and it was minus 4.arrived in Manchester and it was +7 😱
I have to admit I use the adaptive cruise control for about 85% of all trips. It's super efficient and easy to adjust when needed, for instance when it decides to drive at the speed limit when clearly you need to drive a bit slower. Loving our Enyaq
I notice taxi drivers are markedly slower since I was a kid. Much smoother too. I’m certain it’s more to do with maximising profits than advanced trainibt
Enyaq 80, two adults, two teenagers, a weeks worth of luggage and a wheelchair. 279 miles home, 44 left in the battery (4.3m/kWh claimed). I was driving gently, cruise control at 65 on the motorways, but I’m still very impressed. My issue with my similar phone holder is that it was glue based, and no adhesive pad I’ve used has stuck for any length of time.
@@enyaq_gorm I suspect there must have been some amount of following wind… I’d only managed 4.1 on the way there (technically could have made it without charging, but a couple of minutes on charge whilst the others went and grabbed food was a no brainer for sanity)
I still have my Enyaq 60, it doesn't have the mode selector. It is a great car to drive with the speed limiter as well and that helps to be slightly more efficient. If I get rid of mine it will be to get another Enyaq.
I've had an Enyaq 85 since January. My first EV purchased after a lot of research (including your excellent videos). Have done 7000km so far about half of which is motorway driving. Long term average 16.2kwh/100km. I've seen 14kwh/100km on 250km trips on 90km/h roads in spring temperatures. And like you, getting 12kwh/100km in town + B road trips. Very happy with the car, great cruiser, very quiet. Feel much less tired at the end of a 600km road trip than I did in my old Audi A3. There is so much misinformation out there about EVs and how long road trips are a nightmare. Yes, a little more planning required, but I wouldn't switch back to ICE. Skoda would do well to make some tweaks to the navigation to, for example, plan trips using my preferred charging network which is Ionity. But that is a minor gripe.
Hopefully get our new Enyaq by the end of September (ordered on 1st May!). This has given me a lot of info. As this will be our first EV I've got a lot to learn!
@@NickCox-l5m you don't need to do this, you can just drive. These are tips to save money or maybe just drive a bit further if you're not wanting to use a public charger
Ha I had ordered one of those but they were taking an age to set a build week. So I have gone for a blue one which should be arriving at the dealer today. A few more bells and whistles than I was planning but who doesn’t love a sun roof?
I’ve noticed an efficiency improvement since software 3.7 (21 iV60) - obviously the new rear motor, coupe body and your driving style are achieving some impressive results. Thought I was doing well to achieve 4.5 -4.9 kWh mile, but will have to try harder. Look forward to your further updates.
Just ordered the Enyaq 85 Coupe... interesting channel and thanks for the recent reviews. Would be great to see an update video on any apps you use on your phone for finding charging locations etc - or does the in built sat nav do a good enough job (1st electric car - so still looking for helpful tips).
Hi ordered ours back in July and still waiting for it to arrive, numerous phone calls to Skoda but keep saying out of our hands but we did order the velvet red 😢😢 just wish they would hurry up. Enyaq 85 lounge interior coupé.
Ah so your using the no aircon on low,my udea does wirk doesnt it. Can keep passenger side on as hot as you like too,if you wanted to keep it warm and it doesnt tend to mist up
@djtintin how do you know yours will be a MY25? ours was ordered in june, originally stated a week 41 build date, then moved to week 43 with a predicted delivery of mid to late november.
Hi l have the skoda enyak 85x sportline plus how do you get the blue wide screen on the sat nav screen which buttons in settings to achieve this l have it from new since july so stiil playing with info screen Kind regards Kev
Sorry l was’nt clear enough when l am watching your video’s and l can see your sat nav screen to the right of the map you have a blue screen with data on that is about a third of the screen l have that screen but my data width does’nt look as wide as yours it seems there is more info on yours Thanks Kev

@@gabkas5824 glad the videos help, that's the idea 👍👌
I am going to have to practice a bit more on my Enyaq... This was awesome... Thanks for these tips.

@@IanLatham I do use it on motorways, but as per the manual, it's meant for motorways or dual carriageways not for A roads
@@enyaq_gorm Absolutely, but when the A road is suitable it's a lovely way to drive. As always, horses for courses
As my advanced driving instructor once told me - drive like you’ve got no brakes.
Which is so easy anyway with an BEV when you can 1 pedal drive. So no need to touch a brake pedal much other than maybe once stopped.
I have never heard that one. Good advice and they Enyaq auto regen makes it really easy to do too
One pedal driving is much less efficient than coasting though as I mentioned in the video. @@georgewalker7061
Indeed. But then there is location location location and it is nice trying different ways and people can get different results / efficiency.

Slightly lighter load, but my wife (who doesn’t care about efficiency) has just done 180 miles at 4.3 - and the enyaq is hardly an aero wonder car…
Am considering a enyaq 85 really looks a nice car

My Enyaq build week starts tomorrow if all goes well. It should arrive at the end of September. Great video. I took a lot away from this.
@@GR34456 great stuff, which model?
@@enyaq_gorm I gone for the 85 Estates In Artic Silver
Ha I had ordered one of those but they were taking an age to set a build week. So I have gone for a blue one which should be arriving at the dealer today. A few more bells and whistles than I was planning but who doesn’t love a sun roof?
@matthewtyler-jones8317 ye I order mine end of June and dealer phoned me about week later with the build week.
@@GR34456 yeah ordered mine about the same time but every week mine dealer was phoning me to say “they have not assigned a build week yet”
got my enyaq 85x sportplus a month ago. brilliant car, but the stearing wheel a bit heavy - most likely due to its weight

@@dorsetandy3873 that's roughly what I was getting on the 60
In D mode does pressing the brake pedal engage regen or only via the paddles?
@@ma9mwah they both use regen. The pedal starts with regen and then uses friction brakes if you keep pressing

Thanks. I'm about to do a couple of trips so will try to do something like that for you
Interesting to see just how efficient the newer motors are.
I drive my 60 in B mode all time,might give D mode a go.
Can you share a link to that phone holder attached to the back of the infotainment screen, please?

@@davidthomas8662 never needed to, the car hasn't misted up and when I've had AC on I actually find it too cold
Very nice! New motor is indeed efficienty. It would be also very good to see the efficiency in the return trip! Thanks!
@@FSO_PT over the return journey the efficiency was 4.5 I didn't film it though
Do you not find the car misting up without the AC on ?
No, not unless there's 3 of us in the car and we've got in with wet coats on
I cant remember if you mentioned if you have a heat pump on your model?
@@rocklobstah1876 on my old one yes, on my new one no
I have ordered an 85x sportline plus, coupe which is going to be a MY25, How do you find the coupe compared to the estate?
Hi, do you have a build week assigned?
Honestly no really difference in how the body shape feels when you're driving. The new motor is much more powerful and yet more efficient too.
@@F1D3L1TYyes ordered in may was told build week 35 from my dealers in Hamilton and recently was changed to build week 44.

@@eastmidlandparkway6267 it depends how you set your screen up, which widgets you choose to display.
Waiting for my 85 blue also....
