Enjoyed the update. I've had my 60 for almost 4 months and, apart from the Skoda app, everything has been perfect. Currently avr 3.8m/kw which equates to 5p per mile - charging at home. No Octopus Energy in N Ireland!! My previous car, a diesel Seat Alhambra, cost around 16p/mile so a decent saving. Last year our solar array exported 300kw/h to the grid and I hope to be able to reduce this considerably by topping up the Enyaq on sunny days. Please keep posting.
Looking at the Enyaq as a potential first electric car. Great to hear about the 60 v 80 mileage from your own personal experience - thanks, very useful nugget of info.
Thanks for the update. I’ve been following the videos and this car is definitely top of my wish list. It does all the things my 2016 PHEV does, and probably does it better too.
Interesting thank you. We have had our IV 80 Sportline for two years, just had its first service at main dealer ( we bought the service plan when we bought the car). The only issues we had with the car were software related, the difficulty with setting charging schedules, never did work, we just use the charger settings, once the speedo just didn’t appear when we started off, stopped left it for 10 minutes and all was well and I suppose the overly sensitive lane assist. Overall however in all weathers and conditions utterly relaxing to drive and in our eyes an impressive looking car. Since new it averaged 3.7 miles to kw, all mixed motoring including motorway use. Interestingly since the service where we belatedly got the software updated from 2 to 3.2 the car has regularly been achieving over 4 on rural and main road runs, once we even saw 5 on a leisurely trip. We are now averaging 4.2 but that’s before the cold weather intervenes. We haven’t got the heat pump. A remarkable car, the only thing we may change it for would be a Tesla Model Y for access to the Supercharger network after having used a Supercharger in Northumbria this year, just so easy to use and unlike many, working when you want them. Skoda seem to be changing to a system where you have to pay for access to use stuff that s already fitted to the car a la BMW and the heated seats, given the cost of EV’s I think that’s being greedy. Doesn’t detract from the fact the Enyaq is a fantastic vehicle to own and drive though
@ Yes, we do use Superchargers but no longer have the Enyaq. A series of software glitches with the inability of the dealer to fix plus the prospect of the service we were likely to get when the warranty expired led us to reluctantly sell the Enyaq. Our circumstances changed as well so we could down size to a smaller EV, not a Tesla either. To be fair to the Enyaq, it was so good in the main that we would have another if we needed the load carrying capacity, but not as a private buyer. As a lease vehicle there is still little to beat it for practicality, looks and performance.
@@lynnfisher4396 sorry to hear that. Both of mine have had zero software issues (unlike the tesla I had before them). I am lucky that I have a very good dealer that seems to understand the enyaq very well
Great video and your findings match my experiences of the iV60. I live in the English Midlands and travel to Scotland frequently and like you I need the pit stop before the car!
I’ve recently sold my Kodiaq (I felt guilty driving it after watching fully charged for several years!) and ordered an Enyaq 85 as it’s replacement I’ve been driving Skodas for years and they have always been solid cars, and I really enjoyed the test drive I had. The Kodiaq will be a hard act to follow, I drove mine all over Germany and it was a really comfortable drive, so I’m looking forward to some road trips next summer so I can compare. We are planning on a trip to Bielefeld and Frankfurt to visit friends and family.
@@andriigavryliuk2753 it has been pencilled in for an April delivery, but that’s because I chose to wait for the updated Enyaq 85 rather than get a current model Enyaq 80.
I ordered an Enyaq 85 at the start of January, and it's due to arrive mid June, which seems pretty normal compared with other EVs I was considering. I hope that's useful.
@@andriigavryliuk2753 sorry, I never received a notification of your question. I’ve recently been updated by the dealer and my car is now due at the start of April.
Thankyou watched a lot of your videos just waiting on delivery of my enyaq and your information has been fascinating for me as this will be my first ev
Thanks so much for this sensible review. Covering the negatives as well as the positives is both ethical and very useful! I know the build quality of the Skoda range now is not in question. My issue, which is stopping me from purchasing and EV, is about the efficacy of EV’s and their impact on the planet. (To go into detail on this would take me too long, but I’m still not convinced that battery driven vehicles are as ‘climate’ efficient as we’re led to believe?) That said, I’m grateful for this review and the candour of it. I will go and investigate further, but this car is going to be on my list to choose if I do decide an EV is suitable for me and my wife! Thanks again for such a clear report of two years of ownership! 👍
they are more impactful than a fossil fuelled car at the manufacture stage, but after roughly 15,000 miles (less if, like me you fill up a lot of the time on solar) the position flips. Unlike a fossil car the EV emits no more, whereas the fossil car emits toxic gas every time you turn it on. But if you want to lower your impact on the planet you need to walk rather than use a car. The EV is roughly 80% efficient, the fossil car uses a lot of electricity and minerals like cobalt to get the fuel to you the customer, and then 70% of the energy gets turned into waste heat and you only get 30% of it to propel the car. It's a very poor system. This is a very good explainer ua-cam.com/video/1oVrIHcdxjA/v-deo.htmlsi=P1YM8ID7kPL8drGw
Always good to hear your comments. I'm at 15k miles (18 months) and recently changed my original Bridgestones to Hankooks. I found the Bridgestone tyre to be too keen to let go when driving "enthusiastically" and had no desire to investigate the off-road behaviour of the car. You mentioned the difference between the 60 and the 80. I chose the 60 (practically identical to yours) as there was no real benefit for me in carrying the extra battery weight. The power outputs are the same, so with the 60 you accelerate quicker. Marginally I suppose, but every little helps!. I'm curious to know how you manage such good economy. Mine is at 3.2 m/kwh long term which is a little disappointing. Then again part of my 11 mile commute is a serious blast down the M80 twice a day. I rarely do pootling around. I've had few issues of concern (puddle lights, travel assist) but none which stopped me driving and enjoying the car. Hopefully these will be resolved when I go for my long overdue software update next week at Henry's in Glasgow.
Hiya, yeah Bridgestone seem to be poor compared with the hankook tyres. For efficiency I've got a heat pump and I use the auto regen. When the car says lift your foot off, I do. On the motorway keep it to 67 max, any more in any car trashes the efficiency. Most of my driving is to and from Edinburgh on A roads in rush hour traffic with the occasional trip down to Milton Keynes or Manchester. You're right about the weight and the compromises it brings though.
Great review of your car and usage ,we have an ID5 77KWH and as we are what you call light usage at present we are extremely happy with our model as on motability the advance payment was £2595 with £750 bonus from motability which meant £1845 upfront .I would have had a 58kwh battery but the id5 is one size only .so glad you have documenting your experiences with the skoda and probably my next car definitely, take care on your travels
Got the enyaq on Monday . Just plugged in for its first charge !! Let me know if you want to compare the software on a video? U mentioned this on a previous chat. Been very impressed with the car , loving the drive
We have just knocked up 6,000 in our lovely Enyaq 60, wow 9 months old. The only problem was a "glitch" with the sat nav and the paid for Cruise control, it thought we were on a different road, we were on the A74M and the sat nav said the A7, imagine being told there is a 30 mph limit , a turn RIGHT, a 25mph limit sharp bend, then 50 then 40 on the motorway. I feel our engine regen is a little bit keeen, i am used to it now but I can drive a long way without braking, leave it and it will slow down to 30mph at 30 signs and will almost stop at roundabouts, putting it into the higher regen WILL stop the car at roundabouts and traffic lights. Last weeks trip to Dumfries and back we got 4.6 miles KWH, think it cost less than £3 for 185 miles. It was at 3 miles KWH during the winter. There are still some FREE chargers in Scotland, we often pay a visit to a loch and recharge for free. Even when we do use the expensive chargers, the cost at home "halves" the expensive charge.. Fife area was 16p per KWH with a £1.50 FEE. Lovely car and I can set it to heat or cool the car before I get in it, , if I am near i can use the app to start /stop the AC . lovely to keep the dog cool while i get a cuppa
Great update. Interesting to hear about the servicing- my Q4 is due its first service (again it’s every 2 years) next month. The salary sacrifice company have booked it in to Kwikfit😮 Totally agree about the range/time thing. On a long drive I need recharged/refuelled more often than the car does😂
In my Enyaq 60 over the winter months doing routine driving, bits of A road, motorway and with a bit of pre warming in a morning I’d be lucky to get 150 miles out of a full charge, a drive from Sheffield to Newcastle and back would involve two 30-40 minutes charging breaks which makes for a long working day.
That seems really low, I'm getting between 180 and 190. So many factors though, weather, terrain, speed, how hard you accelerate, wheel size, heat pump (or not).
@@enyaq_gorm I drive like Miss Daisy’s chauffeur, cruise control between 64-67mph, 20 inch wheels and no heat pump probably have a negative effect, I’ve never had more than 200 miles out of a charge.
@@enyaq_gorm I’ve never run out of charge, nearest I’ve ever been is 2% remaining after I think 140 miles, depth of winter though, currently showing around 200 miles of range on a full charge.
@@allofuswoodhouses4284 yeah but that range figure isn't a real limit, it's a prediction by a computer. If you got 140 then there's something far wrong.
Thanks for all your videos about the Enyaq, Gorm! You really helped us decide on what car to buy. A couple of weeks ago we picked up our brand new Enyaq iV80 Sportline. She's velvet red and let me tell you - she's a looker! Greetings from Sweden!
Oh, I see! I thought that was your name. Sorry about that. You see, I live in Sweden but I work in Norway and Gorm is a Norwegian name and I thought: Norway, Vikings, Vikings going to Scotland, Gorm is probably a Scottish name too...
Would you consider doing a Q&A video about the Enyaq? There are a few things that I would like to ask an Enyaq-owner but I don't know anyone else who owns one. Maybe you could make a video where you ask for questions and then we could submit them in the comments? That's just a suggestion of course.
@@chrishorsfall6525 it depends on what I'm doing. You shouldn't leave any lithium ion battery sitting at 100%, so unless you're about to make a trip then stop the charge at 80%.if you're about to make a trip then charge to 100%. No issues at all though.
My Enyaq is 22 months old and covered 12,000 miles. According to the car service indicator there are 220 days left before service which would require a service at 30 months which seems out of sync with most other Enyaqs which require servicing every 24 months regardless of mileage. Manufacturer’s usually require their vehicles to be serviced by one of their Dealers as part of the warranty - I assume you looked into this before opting for a non-Skoda servicing agent? Since ME3 software upgrade last November my non heat pump iV 60 has been averaging 3.8 miles per KW, by comparison by 2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD is averaging just under 5 miles.
Manufacturers can not insist you have the car serviced by their dealers, so long as the service schedule is followed and approved parts are used then there's no issue. But it is 24 months not 30. Mine has a heat pump which may explain the difference in efficiency but it's hard to say as there are so many factors involved. My model 3 was back for repairs 12 times in 14 months so I wasn't really bothered how efficient it was, I spent so much time driving 5 year old Model S cars that they lent me 😏
Great update. My Enyaq will be 2 years in January, didn't think the service would be that expensive. I have enjoyed the car even during the range sapping cold weather 😂
The service I got was much more extensive than the skoda recommended one. The service schedule basically involves a visual inspection to make sure the wheels and battery ate still attached and then a pollen filter change which takes about a minute.
Hi, great update. I’ve leased a 60 partly based on your feedback and reviews. Now I am 10 months in and not disappointed. Thank you 👍 A quick question, my only niggle is that I don’t know when the headlights have come on in dusk / dawn. There is no green headlight symbol I can see. Am I missing something? Thanks Matt
I was also very impressed with your efficiency figures - 4 m/kwh is better than Tesla territory? And beating the Kia stuff. It does look to be a cracking car.
Have you done any "road trips" which had a range of over 400 miles ? If yes how did it go with the iV60 WLTP 244 miles & did you incur and range anxiety or charging problems ?
Sorry I've only just spotted this. My regular trip is 380 miles. But I usually take a break after 2 to 3 hours. That's the same whether I'm in the enyaq or my diesel camper van. The car range doesn't decide the stops, the needs of the driver or the passengers do. So I have no idea how far I could go starting at 100% and going to 10%. After a couple of hours I need a rest or a toilet stop. By then the car is usually around 60%. Whenever I stop for a human need I plug the car in, "always be charging". 400 miles in the UK is around 7 hours. I cannot safely drive for 7 hours without a break.
I put a set of Michelin Crossclimate 2s on my Mother’s VW Touran replacing the original Continentals. The main thing I noticed was that they were hugely quieter at motorway speed. I figure it’s something to do with the unidirectional tread pattern. How do you find the tyre noise on the (much quieter in general) Enyaq? Any different to what you had before?
I do have a question… do you know or are you aware of any sleek/stealthy dashcam options at all? We are due to get our Enyaq around Christmas time. We had one in our old car, that used a USB a port at the back of the Center console long enough the threat the wires through the trim of of the back right passenger and driver door, then up the A pillar… but what I saw there are only usc c ports in the front. Is there any hacks for the built in camera that you know of?
I have seen this camera for £170’ish on Amazon, no personal experience though but it does look sleek : FITCAMX Dash Cam Suitable for Skoda Enyaq 2020 2021 2022, 4K 2160P WDR Dash Cam, Car Camera with G-Sensor and Loop Recording, WiFi Dash Cam with Super Night Vision and Motion Detection, 64GB Card by FITCAMX
@@davidchinn5257 yeah I was looking earlier and stumbled on Fitcamx. So frustrating that cars don’t include any ports by the rear view mirror. Like dash cams are standard purchase for 90% vehicle owners these days. Having some where convenient to install it should be standard in the design
We are looking to buy an enyaq soon please could.ypu give me a rough price for overnight charging just ball park from 0 to 100 how much money does it cost please
Sorry that's a bit like saying how much does it cost to fill a car at £1.45 a litre. Obviously it depends how empty you are. I pay 7.5p per kWh so it's 7.5p multiplied by how much I put in. Hope that helps
I inherited an Enyaq IV 80 (company car) of 1 year and 58'000 Kms, I punctured 3 times in the first month and changed the 4 tires. It's very fine car, so smooth and powerful, my only problem is that I cannot really use it outside of going to work everyday, there are almost no public chargers in Spain, it's a real hazard to go beyond 200 Kms from Madrid. Not Skoda's fault, our government is 💩.
@@enyaq_gormbetter in the coastal area but in the center it is terrible. Most of the chargers are private even if they are shown by the car and at least half of the Endesa or Iberdrola public chargers are out of order regularly. I use to do Madrid Valladolid via Segovia and it’s a real risk. The car is great, it’s such a pity I have to go through the stress of the charger (will the charger be free, will it work, will it connect, will it charge at 40 kWh at least etc) each time I get out of the city.
Car arrived with insufficient coolant in the battery system, 43 lumps of sand under the paint, car had numerous scratches, door didn't close properly, driver's window wouldn't close properly, cruise control didn't work properly, car used to swerve to avoid invisible objects. Long list of issues.
Not a clue because I've never driven non stop. I need a break after 3 hours so never get anywhere near using all the battery. As long as the range is longer than your bladder range who cares?

Would you consider doing a Q&A video about the Enyaq? There are a few things that I would like to ask an Enyaq-owner but I don't know anyone else who owns one. Maybe you could make a video where you ask for questions and then we could submit them in the comments? That's just a suggestion of course.
I'll do a post and see what I get in.
Thank You Im hopefully picking up a 22 60 eco 5000m do you limit the charging to 80 or 90% any issues with Battery state of health
@@chrishorsfall6525 it depends on what I'm doing. You shouldn't leave any lithium ion battery sitting at 100%, so unless you're about to make a trip then stop the charge at 80%.if you're about to make a trip then charge to 100%. No issues at all though.
My Enyaq is 22 months old and covered 12,000 miles. According to the car service indicator there are 220 days left before service which would require a service at 30 months which seems out of sync with most other Enyaqs which require servicing every 24 months regardless of mileage.
Manufacturer’s usually require their vehicles to be serviced by one of their Dealers as part of the warranty - I assume you looked into this before opting for a non-Skoda servicing agent?
Since ME3 software upgrade last November my non heat pump iV 60 has been averaging 3.8 miles per KW, by comparison by 2022 Tesla Model 3 RWD is averaging just under 5 miles.
Manufacturers can not insist you have the car serviced by their dealers, so long as the service schedule is followed and approved parts are used then there's no issue. But it is 24 months not 30. Mine has a heat pump which may explain the difference in efficiency but it's hard to say as there are so many factors involved.
My model 3 was back for repairs 12 times in 14 months so I wasn't really bothered how efficient it was, I spent so much time driving 5 year old Model S cars that they lent me 😏
Very nice summary. Does your Enyaq have a heat pump? I believe this is a requirement for battery conditioning.....or am I wrong here?
It does, but right now they can't do pre conditioning
Great update. My Enyaq will be 2 years in January, didn't think the service would be that expensive. I have enjoyed the car even during the range sapping cold weather 😂
The service I got was much more extensive than the skoda recommended one. The service schedule basically involves a visual inspection to make sure the wheels and battery ate still attached and then a pollen filter change which takes about a minute.
Hi, great update. I’ve leased a 60 partly based on your feedback and reviews. Now I am 10 months in and not disappointed. Thank you 👍
A quick question, my only niggle is that I don’t know when the headlights have come on in dusk / dawn. There is no green headlight symbol I can see. Am I missing something? Thanks Matt
No there isn't a light for that. If the maps go dark that's about the only way to tell.
Always enjoy your you tube videos. I have id3 max what dongle do you use to communicate with ABRP thanks for your reply in advance. Brian
A cheap dongle I bought about 6 years ago on ebay
I am using icar pro from Amazon. Works fine with ABRP and Carscanner and icw iPhone.
I was also very impressed with your efficiency figures - 4 m/kwh is better than Tesla territory? And beating the Kia stuff.
It does look to be a cracking car.
Hmmm no I think the tesla can do better, or at least my SR+ could, though it had a smaller battery so it couldn't really do much more than 180 miles
Henry's Skoda (Glasgow) only charged £175 for first service and supplied a courtesy .
Still quite a lot for changing a pollen filter and a visual inspection of everything else
Have you done any "road trips" which had a range of over 400 miles ? If yes how did it go with the iV60 WLTP 244 miles & did you incur and range anxiety or charging problems ?
Sorry I've only just spotted this. My regular trip is 380 miles. But I usually take a break after 2 to 3 hours. That's the same whether I'm in the enyaq or my diesel camper van. The car range doesn't decide the stops, the needs of the driver or the passengers do. So I have no idea how far I could go starting at 100% and going to 10%. After a couple of hours I need a rest or a toilet stop. By then the car is usually around 60%. Whenever I stop for a human need I plug the car in, "always be charging". 400 miles in the UK is around 7 hours. I cannot safely drive for 7 hours without a break.
I put a set of Michelin Crossclimate 2s on my Mother’s VW Touran replacing the original Continentals. The main thing I noticed was that they were hugely quieter at motorway speed. I figure it’s something to do with the unidirectional tread pattern. How do you find the tyre noise on the (much quieter in general) Enyaq? Any different to what you had before?
No real difference that I can discern, the Hankook tyres were very good
Helpful video
Glad you think so! Thank you
I do have a question… do you know or are you aware of any sleek/stealthy dashcam options at all? We are due to get our Enyaq around Christmas time.
We had one in our old car, that used a USB a port at the back of the Center console long enough the threat the wires through the trim of of the back right passenger and driver door, then up the A pillar… but what I saw there are only usc c ports in the front.
Is there any hacks for the built in camera that you know of?
I have seen this camera for £170’ish on Amazon, no personal experience though but it does look sleek :
FITCAMX Dash Cam Suitable for Skoda Enyaq 2020 2021 2022, 4K 2160P WDR Dash Cam, Car Camera with G-Sensor and Loop Recording, WiFi Dash Cam with Super Night Vision and Motion Detection, 64GB Card
by FITCAMX
@@davidchinn5257 yeah I was looking earlier and stumbled on Fitcamx.
So frustrating that cars don’t include any ports by the rear view mirror. Like dash cams are standard purchase for 90% vehicle owners these days. Having some where convenient to install it should be standard in the design
Hello how is battery degradation? After km? Miles... thanks
Honestly no idea, car still goes as far as it did when it was brand new
Hi, do you know if the pre conditioning has been made available via an update yet?
No and it will not be made available AFAIK
How much did it cost you to get Skoda to reset your service indicator?
Nothing. I just showed them the receipt proving it had been serviced
That’s good! I hope my dealer is as generous 👍
Hi Very interested in buying a Enjaq 60, do you have a heat pump?
Yes I did (now have an enyaq 85 without one)
We are looking to buy an enyaq soon please could.ypu give me a rough price for overnight charging just ball park from 0 to 100 how much money does it cost please
Sorry that's a bit like saying how much does it cost to fill a car at £1.45 a litre. Obviously it depends how empty you are. I pay 7.5p per kWh so it's 7.5p multiplied by how much I put in. Hope that helps
I inherited an Enyaq IV 80 (company car) of 1 year and 58'000 Kms, I punctured 3 times in the first month and changed the 4 tires. It's very fine car, so smooth and powerful, my only problem is that I cannot really use it outside of going to work everyday, there are almost no public chargers in Spain, it's a real hazard to go beyond 200 Kms from Madrid. Not Skoda's fault, our government is 💩.
Wow, that sounds terrible. In Scotland we have a whole government network but also now more and more private companies rolling out their own networks.
I've just had a look, doesn't look*that* bad in Spain
@@enyaq_gormbetter in the coastal area but in the center it is terrible. Most of the chargers are private even if they are shown by the car and at least half of the Endesa or Iberdrola public chargers are out of order regularly. I use to do Madrid Valladolid via Segovia and it’s a real risk. The car is great, it’s such a pity I have to go through the stress of the charger (will the charger be free, will it work, will it connect, will it charge at 40 kWh at least etc) each time I get out of the city.
what was your bad experience with Tesla model 3?
Car arrived with insufficient coolant in the battery system, 43 lumps of sand under the paint, car had numerous scratches, door didn't close properly, driver's window wouldn't close properly, cruise control didn't work properly, car used to swerve to avoid invisible objects. Long list of issues.
@@enyaq_gorm that's sound crazy bad :O .. Did you refuse it and canceled whole purchase or did you get another one?
@@Henrich205 no, tesla basically weren't interested. In the end I just sold it.
Guys ,,what’s the real range for enyaq 60 ??? Please be honest,,thank you
Not a clue because I've never driven non stop. I need a break after 3 hours so never get anywhere near using all the battery. As long as the range is longer than your bladder range who cares?
Sounds like a pain
?
Boring!
Excellent review. Cheers
Thank you, glad you liked it
