Overview
The Skoda Enyaq iV takes the VW ID.4's MEB platform and adds Skoda's trademark practicality. The result is arguably the best all-round electric family SUV — spacious, sensible, and well-priced.
Model variants:
| Version | Battery | Range (WLTP) | Power | 0-62mph |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Enyaq iV 60 | 58kWh | 256 miles | 177hp | 8.7s |
| Enyaq iV 80 | 77kWh | 339 miles | 201hp | 8.2s |
| Enyaq iV 80x | 77kWh | 318 miles | 261hp | 6.9s |
| Enyaq Coupe iV 80 | 77kWh | 332 miles | 201hp | 8.2s |
| Enyaq vRS | 77kWh | 323 miles | 295hp | 6.2s |
Key changes:
| Year | Changes |
|---|---|
| 2021 | UK launch |
| 2022 | Coupe version, vRS arrives |
| 2023 | Minor updates |
The 80 offers the best balance. The 60 suits urban-focused buyers. The vRS adds performance but questionable value.
Performance & Drive
In town
Excellent urban manners. The Enyaq is easy to drive with light steering and good visibility. The size is manageable despite the SUV footprint.
On the motorway
Comfortable and refined. The Enyaq cruises quietly with the 77kWh battery providing adequate range. It's not exciting, but it's perfectly competent.
On a twisty road
Not its strength. The Enyaq prioritises comfort over handling. Body roll is noticeable, and the steering lacks feel. It's a family transporter, not a sports car.
The vRS adds power but doesn't fundamentally change the character.
Space & Practicality
Front seats
Comfortable with good adjustment. The interior design is more conventional than the VW ID.4, which some will prefer.
Rear seats
Excellent space — among the best in class. Three adults fit comfortably with good legroom and headroom.
| Measurement | Space |
|---|---|
| Rear legroom | Excellent |
| Rear headroom | Excellent |
| Rear width | 3 adults comfortable |
Boot space
Class-leading at 585 litres. The boot is large, square, and practical. Skoda's Simply Clever features include hooks, nets, and clever storage solutions.
| Configuration | Capacity |
|---|---|
| Rear boot | 585 litres |
| Seats folded | ~1,710 litres |
The Coupe version reduces boot space to 570 litres.
Simply Clever features
| Feature | Description |
|---|---|
| Ice scraper in fuel flap | Classic Skoda |
| Umbrella in door | Useful in UK weather |
| Boot hooks | Secure shopping bags |
| Tablet holder | Rear entertainment |
Interior & Tech
Interior quality
Mixed. The design is clean and functional, but some plastics feel cheap for the price. It's better than the VW ID.4 in some ways, worse in others.
Infotainment
| Feature | Availability |
|---|---|
| 13" touchscreen | Standard |
| Apple CarPlay/Android Auto | Standard |
| Navigation | Standard |
| Over-the-air updates | Standard |
The system shares the VW Group's software — expect some bugs, especially on early cars.
Physical controls
Skoda retained more physical buttons than VW, including a proper climate control panel. This makes daily use significantly better.
Range & Charging
Real-world range
| Version | WLTP | Real-world (summer) | Real-world (winter) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Enyaq 60 | 256 miles | 200-220 miles | 150-180 miles |
| Enyaq 80 | 339 miles | 260-290 miles | 200-240 miles |
| Enyaq 80x/vRS | 318-323 miles | 240-270 miles | 190-230 miles |
DC rapid charging
| Version | Max Speed | 10-80% Time |
|---|---|---|
| Enyaq 60 | 120kW | ~30 mins |
| Enyaq 80/vRS | 135kW | ~35 mins |
Adequate but not class-leading. The charging curve is reasonably flat.

Similar to the VW ID.4 — software issues possible, mechanical reliability generally good.
