In this review…
The new Skoda Enyaq iV is a fine example of an electric car designed to make the transition to EVs as smooth as possible.
The Enyaq is the Skoda designed to convince you of the power of electric cars. While some models such as the Volkswagen ID.4 and Tesla Model Y appear to be sent straight from the future to show drivers how advanced EVs can be, the Skoda Enyaq stays in line with the traditional stylings of the Czech automaker. Making the transition from fossil fuels to electric as smooth as possible, the Skoda Enyaq has earnt tremendous success and critical darling status as a result.
Nonetheless, the electric SUV crowd is becoming packed. Key rivals of the new Skoda Enyaq iV include the Volkswagen ID.4, Audi Q4 e-tron, Volvo XC40 Recharge and Kia e-Niro. All of these models present a unique challenge that the Enyaq has to live up to. Is a new Skoda Enyaq lease worth it? We take a look at all key aspects of the car to find out.
Body & Interior
From the outside, it’s obvious that the Skoda Enyaq is spacious. Its bulky rear indicates that the boot can carry far more than an average compact SUV. The sweeping lines at the side are a nice touch that hint at the more angular design you can find at the front. It’s a future-forward version of Skoda that is matched by the Enyaq’s crystalline alloy wheels.
Inside, you’re treated to the same level of quiet luxury that Skoda is known for. Buttons and amenities don’t distract from your driving but are there when you do need them, with a tactile design that is satisfying to use. Skoda has opted to use their usual, restrained luxury with subtle leather touches, but everything revolves around the generous 13-inch touchscreen infotainment system which controls virtually everything else that isn’t covered by the buttons. Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, climate control, navigation – you name it, the new Skoda Enyaq has it.
Drive & Trim Options
Simply put, the new Skoda Enyaq is one of the most intuitive cars to drive you’ll find. From the gearless quick-start to the perfectly-calibrated steering that handles the weight of the car immaculately, you’re never unsure of how the car will react. In turn, this makes for a pleasurable drive on winding B-roads, which is rare to say of a family SUV. Perhaps it’s because of the 200bhp Skoda has generously provided on most of its trims.
The quickest version of the Skoda Enyaq is the 195kW 80x Sportline, which goes from 0-60 in under seven seconds and has a mammoth 265bhp. On the more budget-conscious side, the base model still has an electric range of over 250 miles, so you won’t need to worry about range anxiety until the gravest of circumstances.
Should I Get a New Skoda Enyaq Lease?
If an electric car that feels as close to normality until it comes time to refuel appeals to you, the new Enyaq iV is an ideal choice. Its subtle sense of opulence means you can have a similar experience to a BMW or Mercedes without the hefty price tag. That is if you can get your hands on one – the Enyaq regularly sells faster than Skoda can make them!
