This is the new Skoda Enyaq!
It’s fair to say that in 2021 electric SUVs are a bit like small, crossover SUVs have been for the past few years… They’re everywhere!! Almost every major manufacturer has an EV SUV available to buy, so does the Enyaq offer enough to stand out from the crowd?
Well when it comes to performance, there are two options to choose from - the entry level ’60’, or the ’80’. They both come with RWD, and the 60 provides 180hp from a single electric motor along with a claimed range of 256 miles from a 62kWh battery pack.
As for the 80, it’s also powered by a single electric motor, although this one offers 204hp, while the larger 82kWh battery pack will apparently provide you with 333 miles of range!
As for the interior, it’s certainly more than impressive, and your focus will be immediately drawn to the 13-inch infotainment screen which comes with all models. You'll also find smart digital driving display dials, and good quality materials throughout the majority of the cabin.
But is it enough? You’ll have to keep watching to find out!

He finds out at the end of the video
@@sandervanharten9758 you're right, I didn't watch the very end
This car isn’t even available in my country, yet I spent 20 minutes watching this. No regrets.
That's the story of my life pretty much every time I watch a car review.
I even watch videos of countries which are not in my country
I bet you all live in North America, why do you even want a car isn’t even available in your country?
No one said they wanted it
You can buy the car online then if you live in the states, you could have it shipped to you for roughly $1100!
Love your vids Matt. I usually like to watch reviews from a few different people but I nearly fell asleep watching the others! you manage to get all the important things answered without the waffle, to the point and entertaining Thanks!
30K for an Electric SUV is actually pretty good.
Scratch that,
It's great.
@carwow real legit 100% real Bloomin fake.
Yes but for that 30k you get 7.2 kw AC and 50 kw DC and a 52 kwh battery wich is really bad
@@victorc.979 yge?
@@rider5402 No shit, that's the joke.
@@victorc.979 58kW, it is the 60. I reckon they are not going to offer the 50 in the vk.
It looks 10 times more premium then ID4 both inside and out.
What are these things?
@@samarthsaxena4853 VW ID4 electric SUV.
@@TomMarvan no I wasn’t taking bout that. I saw some weird syntax Carwow replies here. Like letter-letter stuff. Idk
except the cheap looking black front grill...
@@matemayer4850 Agreed. I was actually considering the Enyaq but the plastic grill looks horrible to me. The top trim with the illuminated grill is even worse. Why would anyone want to draw attention to a grill that has no function whatsoever? I'm glad there are so many alternatives to electric cars these day though
Parents with (smaller) children are glad the backdoorpanels don't have the same soft materials as the frontdoorpanels. Skoda also understands the doorgrip shouldn't have it either. Simply Clever.
So true
Or maybe ”Simply Cheap”
@@affordsled or maybe "Simply Troll"
@@lecsu131 if you pay 50 000 Euros for a car you deserve to get soft touch materials on the back door panels too. Everything else is cutting corners. Surely is a decent EV, but far from that premium price tag build wise.
@@affordsled I have a 34k Euro Skoda Octavia 3 combi 4x4 diesel. I got this car to haul around my family, dog, trailer and quite often building materials and all sorts of cargo (for my house). I am a typical Skoda client imo. I don't want anything soft anywhere except the chairs. I bought this car for its reliability, mileage and capabilities. It has 200k km on it and i have only changed oils and filters so far. If i wanted soft stuff all over, for the same amount i could've gotten an Audi. I went to ikea yesterday and got a garden bench and i hated the fact that it was touching the roofliner and was leaving marks on it because it is soft. And I also got a couple of wooden posts and it was touching the bach of the folded down bench and was leaving sawdust on that (soft). That's why it's Simply Clever - it is clever for its intended target. Instead of soft all over i prefer my factory webasto heating, factory hitch, factory hooks and anchor points, 2000kg towing capacity, amazing mileage, almost no maintenance costs, etc.
Why TF we have cars in 2021 with laggy display?
I can’t work this out either. It’s pretty stupid!
Cause Skoda (which belongs to VAG VW Audi Group) wanted to develop the software in house. And that backfired hard cause they had no expirience in Software development. Also their Infotainment was garbage in the first years.
Welcome at VW 😂
I have Cupra and infotainment sucks.
I think this looks so much smarter than the VW EVs!
I agree it looks better than the vw electric cars
Skoda is owned by vw

Hi Matt, we are still the Czech Republic, although the international shortened name is Czechia (same as the Slovak Republic is Slovakia)
But is it "chechia" or "chekia"?
@@wojciechmuras553 good question
No one is bothered.
@@wojciechmuras553 "Czekia", just like in Czech Republic.
How to pronounce Czechia?
Great review as always Mat. As far the "radiator" grill goes, I'd keep them as they are. They're part of the car's brand identity.
Thank you. Really enjoyed watching you and your review. Once I'd tuned in to your delivery style I found the whole video pleasing and informative.
The front looks more BMW than anything BMW currently on sale.
And it's better looking
There’s no lie here.
Agreed lol 😂.
This car is so good looking
This car is ugly af has nothing to do with bmw are u blind mate
POV: you’re early and are waiting for CarGoBrrr to comment “Day ... of asking for a bicycle race between Mat and Yianni”

Ayee, you made me laugh this time as well, thank you Russell Peters
Aw man, I laughed so hard with your argument with Laura telling her off. Lol
Thank you Matt for filming the video in my home town, Milton Keynes. I ❤ MK!
Much better looking both inside and outside than an ID.4
Really not hard to look better than any of those ID cars. They look terrible
True
It is so difficult to tell which one is uglier. Am I the only one who wants to remain in the past regarding cars?🤔
I thought so too, but then I actually saw the ID.4 in the showroom - It looks much better in the flesh (or metal) ...Still I suppose the Skoda could too so we'd be back to square one again. ID.4 1st edition is cheaper than the Enyaq 80 though (kit for kit) but lack some of the Skoda details - It's a tougher choice than I thought.
@@garyallsopp6369 And the other thing to take note on is the Touch sensitive buttons on the ID 3 & 4, they're not fun to use as all reviewers have said. By the looks of it, Volkswagen decided it was better to put physical, clicky buttons on the "Cheaper" Skoda which ironically is gonna make them sell more of the Skoda than the two Volkswagens coming for sale
15:18 The ice scraper is now on the inside of the boot lid (you can kinda see it at 16:14 above Mat’s head).

@@JoshTheFrosch07 Oops, I should’ve finished watching the video before commenting 😂
@@Abisanth11 I have same problem bro, I want too write that to him😂

Good that they found a place for it, but I haven't used an ice scraper since I got an electric car. Just turn on the demist from the phone app and there's no ice when you get to the car 😎
What a way to put it into words what I've been thinking lately when switching to VW Passat GTE and shuffling between D and B modes (coasting and regen). Well said!
Didn't saw no pop up banners. 😑
Liked the video though.
In my country that Skoda won't be less than 35k €. Just guessing...
Keep up the good work Matt and have fun for us also! 😉
Matt,
The ice scraper is in the Boot lid, because if you Charge the car somebody could steal it!
Great Review!
And as ever on a Skoda, the ice scraper is also both a magnifying glass as well as a tyre tread depth guage as well as just something to scrape the windows with!
Ah! I wondered why they had moved it. 👍
@@colinduncan1530 and for watching a solar eclipse 🤣
Aah... simply clever ;).
Watched a Whatcar video about longevity of batteries with several EV's. The had two VWs with the only difference between them was one had a heatpump. Their test (a late winter range test) if the heatpump is optional it isn't worth the cost for what you will get back from energy savings - even if you are charging with expensive public chargers.
That's a pretty nice interior for the entry level model. I love the fabric materials in the dash and arm rest too.
This definitely gives the id.4 a run for it's money - the Enyaq is top of my list for my first EV.
Mine is probably going to be IONIQ 5
@@JTordur good shout! looks lovely and with Korean tech plus 5 year warranty, it's got to right up there 👍
I mean it is an id.4 underneath, so it should
Boo EV get a sports car. When you drive an EV, you will get instant regret because there is no exhaust note, and you can’t shift gears. EVs are pointless
@Alpha Bravo what. Electric cars are great! Because of all the space from no engine, transmission, and driveshaft, they can be very practical and spacious inside. I like all cars, and I don’t understand why electric cars get hated.
Awesome video.I love all your vids mat! Me and my Dad used to watch your videos every day! We preferred the drag races and especially the Porsche 911 which I always begged him to get one. My dad passed away from a brain aneurysm 4 months ago and I keep watching your videos because it reminds me of him. So thank you. 😊
Ahhh I'm sorry. Glad the vids cheer you up!
Happy memories
I think Laura came from Laurin&Klement. Ice scraper is in the fifth door btw :) ... ah, in the end you have got it :))
As a recent Skoda convert - I really like this. Thanks for pointing out all the extras though, pushes it too high price wise for me.
My shortlist is so long now that i dont know if its short list anymore...
Maybe shortlist cars from your shortlist lol
I can help you out comment your shortlist 😂

The scratcher from the fuel filler cap is in the trunk lid mat!
And it does make a lot of Sense. In the fuel filler cap the wet ice scraper could damage the charging system. Because electricity and water do not come along that well together
@@brainforce6673 It can be stolen too because when someone charging it’s open for so long.
@@lebidkovec true
It’s boot
If you watch until 23:00 he actually says that...
I love how discrete yet futuristic the car looks.
Thank u Matt for presenting very neatly...!!
Well i am from India, and have nothing to do with these cars launching in Europe, they're not coming here anytime soon. But I watch this just because of Matt, he makes everything interesting and funny. Keep the good works mate. ❤️
Same here. Good timepass when I'm bored.
I think Enyaq will be sold in India, as, for example, Octavia or Kodiaq, but with different name. But I'm not sure.

Excellent review, as always! I find carwow reviews the most entertaining. Nice to see the entry level interior get praise. Much of the mentioned add-ons actually come as standard in Finland, like the heatpump.
The funniest review you’ve done in ages! Thanks Mat!
16:08 😂👏👏👏 they're everywhere.
Great vid, I'm really considering getting one
Fridge on wheels !
Fridge?? Frr.. fi.. friiee.... FRIDGE??
So you tryna' say it's a cool car 😂😂
Fridges have all the goodies in them, so its a car that looks rather boring, but is amazing in the inside
Definitely a white goods vehicle
At least it's not a bar of soap or a computer mouse on wheels. *Cough cough* Tesla.
I think it looks great compared with the VW’s.
Looks like the child of an Audi and a BMW
@@christopherstein2024 Yeah, except the grill looks better then the new bmw grill
@@peffify That's a really low bar your know. Jokes aside it looks really good.
I love the Enyaq, and as a Skoda mechanic, I love working on them.
The only downside is that you have to disconnect the high voltage system for almost any kind of work...
19/20 inch wheels are great until you need a new tyre and they cost more than the monthly for the car 😅
also less comfortable
@@madonemt plus less efficient and more noisy
the sizes are big 235/55 on r19 and 235/50 on r20 which is big and comfy , they only loose on price , the wheels on electric cars need to be big cause they at like a gear for the cars , and big and thin is efficient and not more noisy than small and wide
@@mikemayers9353 You know theres a thing called a gearbox right? Manufacturers design the ratios of the gearbox for certain wheel diameters
Hey Mat!
At 14:19, you said that the car makes a louder noise when it is in reverse. I think that has some depth to it. Our new 2021 Toyota Mirai does that too. Not sure if it is just a coincidence 😁
Finally! I was waiting for this for months now!
Your vehicle reviews are the best on the web, and funny af 👌
I love the sound of this vehicle when it comes from behind you, properly futuristic. Nice looking vehicle tbh.
love the great car reviews and comedic timing
I’m Impressed, Well done Skoda
Škoda
Skoda’s first electric SUV has a charging port that hides behind a cover, much like a fuel filler flap.
When charging, the cover has to remain open, meaning the prized ice scraper could be easily stolen.
The Simply Clever solution is, unsurprisingly, rather simple. Skoda has moved the ice scraper to a special compartment inside the tailgate, keeping it safe but still accessible.
Its called research Matt!!!
Adrian, the news about that Skoda actually moved the ice scraper to that special compartment area, was first hand news here in Sweden. Last week Swedish Television had a special Skoda ice scraper theme the whole evening. In the studio was special guests invited like motor journalists, some Skoda representivs, the Nobel winner in the "Ice Scraper Premium Development" category; Miss Coldy Skrapersdottir from Iceland. A lot of people in the audience became very agressive during the evening, with many questions to the Skoda people. One woman was crying the whole time, repeting loudly "Skoda what have you done, WHAT HAVE YOU DONE????" And one elderly man said "Please Skoda, that original place for the ice scraper was a HOLY and sacred place for many of us". The evening suddenly ended when the Skoda representives had to leave thru the back door escorted by the security guards. And the next day the Czech Republic ambassador in Stockholm was told to "Immediate go back home".
What a mess, OMG...
Thank you Matt for this review. I must say, I was a little bit surprised too, about the missing ice scrapper since that is indeed one of the "Simply Clever" additions vs. it's brotherhood from VW, thus I'm glad that you found one being hidden in an unexpected place.
Skoda is definetly my favorite car from now and beyond!!!
Great vid 👍🏼 I really like the styling, well proportioned and gives the car good road presence.
Glad you found the ice scraper 👍🏼 There’s also a funnel built into the screenwash reservoir to stop the water from going everywhere when you fill it 😉
Don't use water though
One of the best looking EV on the market right now.
@@ssx-goliiath3602 no. It's true. I like it too.
Best ev on the market right now

@@Parrotdise290 Go see a doctor
The Enyaq EV was in my short list. This is a very practical car. The problem, as you described, there are so may optional extras. Every time I start with the base version and start adding the extras the price climbs to 50k. Skoda should have fewer variations like ID.4 to make the choice simple. At the moment I cannot justify £50K on this car.
Used tesla?
What did you choose? I'm thinking of having the new enyaq 85 edition.
@@niptodstan I chose EV GT Line S. I bought this 2 years ago
Didn';t expect Skoda to come up with a full EV so early.
Early? It's 2021.
Its id 4 with changed interior and exterior
They were also one of the first to produce a working motor car, in 1896......
It'll be interesting to see the VRS version of the Enyaq with the sloping coupe roof that is planned.
The ice scraper is in the back doors instead, so nobody can steal it during charging.
The best family EV from VW group so far! I really like the design of the interior and the new steering wheel.
Couldn’t agree less on the styling. Love it!
me either
great review as always :)
ahhh yes ive been waiting for this one

11:07 I agree. Watching Rebecca Jackson from a distance isn’t ideal... 😉 Good one Mat!
I love it! I love how it doesn't really look that much of an EV
Finally... I want an EV that looks like a car and not a flying saucer, with real buttons and without huge screens that don't make any sense, only increase the price.
Wtf
Hahaha Fochriw, just up the road from me and I never thought it sounded like a swear word until today 👍🏼
Ice scraper appears in the post credit scene....🙌🏼😄
Hi carwow, would you consider doing an updated video on the Skoda Enyaq but the 80X sportline 4x4 version? Would like to see your opion on it and to see if its a really good model and worth the price and wait? Thank you!
It actually looks surprisingly good
Interesting how the interior is so much better than the iD4 despite being the same company. Would much rather have this
Id4 is swinging for the fences to try and wow people. This is more conventional. After id4 they will switch up and get in line. I think the id4 is overambitious and a miss, but I commend the attempt to differentiate. The ioniq 5 looks fantastic.
Hi guys!
Can you compare all of the VAG small e-suv’s ?
I mean to set next to eachother ID4 Enyaq and Q4 e-tron to find out wich one’s the best ?
Interesting. Would love to see Škodas in the US.
I liked the shoutout to Rebecca :)
Nice reference to the CarBuyer days Matt ... 11:10
That was a blast from the past.. especially with Rebecca.
Indeed!
Just ordered mine. Eco suite interior is where it’s at + black magic paint 🎨
Now I cannot unsee the smiley clown face on my steering wheel. Dam you Matt!
I really like how boxy this car is, a lot of electric cars have sloping roofs and stuff but not this one, I love it
shitty range with this boxy design
@@MrBreakingBud Nvm don't want my car to looks like computer mouse lol
@@MrBreakingBud Different people, different needs. If you got to have the best range and dont care about boot layout just get a Tesla. If you can sacrifice a few miles of range for a different shape boot, get something like this. What's the issue? Variety is good.
@@MrBreakingBud It's not even that boxy to affect the range by much. Its drag coefficient is also pretty good, at 0.257 (model 3, y - 0.23, id.4 - 0.28) -- so chances are that it's going to have more range than a similar spec'd VW id.4
I'm not sure if you're a major fanboy or just misinformed about the Enyaq or EVs in general.
Kodiaq:good
Kamiq:sooo good!
Enyaq:Its just a dream of a *perfect* car
Hell yeah, mostly in Sportline or vRS version with Crystal face.
It's clear that Skoda is very good

What I've always been impressed with when it comes to VW and Skoda is indeed the maneuverability. The turning radius is like no other. I own VW Golf and on a daily basis i notice others not being able to turn and maneuver in places where I have no issues at all.. That's a huge "pro" for the brand imho.
It absolutely is nothing special at all.
For me it’s the leg room, although nowadays Opel is pretty good too.
22:15
Carwow: how many people do you want to give epilepsy?

Great video!
And yet again a new car, packed with tech, where the taillights are disabled when the DRL mode is active = fail!
When are OEM's going to learn?!
This is one of the best looking EVs to come out.
The ice scraper is hidden in trunk door.
Great car! Skoda are really kicking arse over the last few years!
I can help with the ice scraper, it is in fact still there but it’s new home is in the boot. It’s a little cubby hole in the boot you will see on the left hand side when fully open!
“It doesn’t stand out in the same way as Volkswagen’s id4 does from the rest of its SUV range”
This is a good thing IMO. I’m tired of the comical attempts by manufacturers for their electric models to look futuristic that. It’s so cheesy.
Most EVs are ugly as fuck. Like just make it look like a normal goddamn car. Like Teslas. They are so fucking ugly
I’m right there with you. Some go way too far.
Nah
Less than 6 inches😂😂. You got me there 😂
Great review!!!
Great review! Load shedding?
All things considered this is actually a pretty damn good ev suv option
Did they pay " Enya" a licensing fee? Does it drive with an Orinoco Flow?
I wanted to know if it was available in Caribbean blue!
Great for Boston…. I hope come to USA … cool video
I suspect 80-90% of buyers in UK will spec the Enyaq as an 80, which should be doing 250 miles plus ‘real world’. Especially with heat pump and faster 125kW charging, priced iro £42-43k it’s my opinion that this is the sweet spot... the one to go for!
