no need to complain about real leather - that lasts long and causes no allergic reaction like the plastic crap. Animals will be slaughtered anyway to get meat and the skin use as leather is far better than any oil based "vegan" leather - better known as plastic.
There is no need for such a crusade. The slaughtered animals will be used to the tiniest piece and you drive with it cause those produce the green kWh you are driving with in a biogas power plant.
No need to complain. Let everyone the choice being poisoned by a fabric made out of oil or enjoying the natural qualityand comfort of genuine leather made in europe.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ua-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/v-deo.html
In general, depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat would be the reason no.1 in other cases, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you accept it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and destroys the environment, you make them more profitable. Also, if you turn the argument around "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize how biased the argument is. After all, would you care for which body part you would murdered? Or imagine someone robs you on the street and beats you to death - would it matter to you if it was for your Smartphone or for your purse?
The animal agriculture industry occupies 2/3 of all farm land on this planet which cannot be used for direct human nutrition then. That is extremely inefficient. The no.1 cause for deforestation is the animal industry. It is also one of the biggest contributor to climate change. The amount of land, resources, energy and water being used is beyond imagination. If you are interested in how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: ua-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/v-deo.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
For the alternative, you can either use artificial fabrics which can be made from recyclables (we have already shown a lot of vehicles that use great fabric seats from PET-bottles etc.) or more and more also from plant-based materials (like Pinatex). And even if you would create a seat completely with petroleum without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is nothing in comparing just to once fueling up your car.
In practical reasons, fabric or microfibre seats are just more useful. You do not sweat in summer and it is not cold in winter.
Not using animal skin on seats is a major issue of animal rights, human rights - and after all just of common sense what is better both for the environment and just more practical and more luxurious for the customer. We cannot change what we have bought in the past (that also counts for ourselves of course!), but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
@@autogefuehl this car is a load of crap ionic 5 far superior car
The old school mic is what sets you apart from the rest of the car journalists out there. In short, I like it. 👍👍👍👍
cheers pal =)
The interior is so much better compared to the ID4. The overall design is also more stylish.
So does that mean that we don't have a proper Skoda?
@@toyotaprius79 It means instead that Volkswagen's new interiors look less attractive than Skoda's.
@@toyotaprius79 but the car is not as efficient as Kia's electric vehicles
Compared to new Audi Q4 e-tron this looks cheap but not as cheap as ID4.
Isn't it a matter of taste? (By the way I also like Skoda's better)
This Chanel is my go-too channel for vehicle reviews. I then judge all else by these standards. 👏🏻👏🏻🥂
24:29 Bjorn Nyland tested the ID4 recently with the same battery capacity and charging speed (125 kW) on his 1 000km challenge. Turns out it's only 10 min slower to drive 1000km than a Tesla Model 3 Long Range and only 5 min slower than the SR+! The MEB's charging curve is way flatter than the one in Teslas so in the end, they recuperate the same amount of energy in pretty much the same time
Nextmove confirmed Skoda has plans to roll out OTA charge speed improvements probably at the end of the year.
@@abraxastulammo9940 VAG has confirmed it. Skoda is part of VAG. All MEB cars will get an increase.
How fast can a Golf ICE make it under the same circumstances?
I am considering purchasing an EV. I recently drove from outside San Francisco well into LA in approximately 390 miles in about six and a half hours with a 45 minute lunch break in an ICE vehicle.
A kind Tesla owner calculated a used 2014 Model S70 would take 45 minutes longer with optimal charging design in 3 stops. He stated he finds chargers free along the way, but chargers in urban centers have delays, so a full starting charge.time for the return is the charge time plus the queue time.
So far, it is interesting, but not promising.
@@buzzpedrotti5401 good question. Bjorn tested a bunch of them (including an ICE for reference). The Kia Ceed Phev (similar to a kia Forte) did 1000km in 9h25. The closest EV did it in 9h50 (Model S Raven) while the ID4 did it in 10h35. It depends on your needs. If you do that trip only a few times a year, then that hour that you lose isn't that big a deal compared to the money you save om gas. And TBH, if you drive that much regularly, then an EV will save you tons and tons of money on gas either way, especially since the ID4 has a 3 year free charging on Electrify America included in its price. Anyway, here's the link to the video. He presents the spreadsheet with all the competition near the end
ua-cam.com/video/dwRtevTuXf0/v-deo.html
@@buzzpedrotti5401 Check it out with the A Better Route Planner app, seems to get away with two stops and about 45 min recharging time in total.

I have a Soul EV on order which is having some issues? Would you have the 60 version of this over the Soul EV? I’m concerned the real range of this will be less than the Kia without the heat pump etc. What did you prefer to drive? Thanks.

Prices?
If I were buying a new EV today it would be this one. You have the great performance of the MEB platform but it looks classier and more timeless than the ID.4, and the price point is reasonable.
YES. I have been waiting for this 😊😊
Well structured and presented Review. Camera work and sound are also outstanding. Very well done!
Far and away the best channel on YT for objective discussion about style, performance and overall impartial conclusion. Oh, not forgetting the great sound quality from old Skool Mike! Thanks!
Thx so much please recommend!
Thank you for pointing out how stupid sliders and touch can be. I am very tired of reviewers who call the interior "modern" and "slick" of these new cars only to try to do something in the review with the system but missclicking 3-4 times on camera just trying to navigate the menus or functions.
The slider is great :)
Thomas you look boss rocking that Scully!! Oh excellent review!! I’ve been waiting for this review. You’re so practical. I look forward to seeing your reviews.
cheers Stew!
Great video as always Thomas. Great car. Like the red 🚘🚗🔋👍🏻
'"New song Q by Enya", priceless.....
Finally Enyaq! Great work! :D
7:10 A panoramic roof which actually opens! This is pretty much the only new-gen EV which comes with this feature which in my mind, is a must-have. Nothing like an open top to remind you of what your life could've been if you were less practical and opted for a convertible instead lol
Yes!!! I’ve been looking forward to this review 😍
The quality of the latest videos has greatly improved...
Keep the good work!
highly appreciated !
Great advice and review Thomas 👌, Thank you Skoda 🤗
Without good sound there is no good video. I really appreciate that you are about our ears. 👍
As always, nice review!
Great review, I enjoyed watching it, I do very much like the new Enyaq iv.
Nice car, great job reviewing it. Love the funnel trick for wiper fluid, very handy. Umbrella gimmick is fun, too, love it. Folding back seat remote lever is perfect. Styling is very appealing. Drink less coffee, you won't mind computer software response times! Same applies to charging times. Keep up the good work. Always look forward to your videos.
Great to have u here!
Very good video😁😃👍
I love Škoda Enyaq iV 😍🚗
Wow , the first reviewer to measure the trunk with folded back seats ! Thanks for that
However.... missing the load height measurement!.... Important for some, like myself.
Yes!! Thank you so much for taking my request. You rock
in your service!
And mine re measuring boots. (NOT the first one by the way).
Actually the range is pretty good...the temperature is low and you drove it on autobahn...so I assume that the speed was somewhere between 90-110 km\h...maybe 120km/h. The car seems that doesn’t has a heating pump, so the 300-330km range is pretty good. Assuming that a heating pump would give you 20-30% more range that would means somewhere between 360-400km range. That means that in summer it would have 500-520km of range....not bad at all
There's something quite magnetic a about Thomas and the quality is there! Great job! You're the best in be block!
Head's up for "old fashion mic"
Very good sound quality 😊
So nicely executed!!! All recent Skodas!!! Bravo Skoda!!!
Very useful review...Thank you...!!
You're on a roll young man, keep those reviews coming...
we will! final Mercedes EQS coming up as well as Audi Q4 e-tron
Amei sua produção 😄 Ficou massa demais!
NIce review, as always! Already ordered one, delivery in May. Haven't changed my mind 😀
enjoy =)
Congrats. I think you have purchased an excellent car.
@@ewadge I hope so. Tested the ID.3 a while back and really liked the driving, but not a fan of the interior. The Enyaq appeals more to me. And I can tow, huge plus for me. 👍
@@autogefuehl Thanks!
Lucky you!
good review Thomas.
Yeah, the Enyaq is definitely better than ID4 as far as I’m concerned... and this is the model’s sweet spot. 80 spec, nice interior, heat pump and 125KW charging - about £42-43k UK price I think.
And the rest unfortunately
Yes the old school mic provides best sound quality.
Also what I wanted to comment on since a long time - huge respect Thomas that cars in each review and presentation you are doing are always spotless and perfectly clean. Shows your respect to the viewers. Thank you!
My favourite EV, with my favourite channel !!! Thanks Thomas, Greetings from Barcelona :=)
muchas gracias =)
Bravo! More reviewers should use a ruler to measure the insides of the boot/trunk. Potential buyers know what to expect!
Great review. I've ordered an enyaq to replace my model 3, can't wait to get it hopefully this Summer.
Very good review! Especially I am happy about measure the length of trunk. If I will buy this beautiful car I will never left it and I will even sleep inside :) Thanks
Great review Thomas and thank you for highlighting whether animal free coverings are available.
highly appreciated Andy, keep supporting!
This looks a nice addition to the Skoda range. I have a Karoq so I can attest to the comfort, build quality and dependability of the brand. However, the dealership wanted to charge £70 GBP (80 Euros) for replacement wiper blades (labour extra) on a car that has only done 3000 miles - 4800km - (because of Covid it hasn't been out much). I wonder what they'd charge for anything major. Lovely review as always, Thomas.
Great review. Really love the design inside and out. A good ride and quiet cruising really fit the bill. However, is the range going to be enough for the 320km journey I do regularly, especially in the winter?
Great Autogefuhl video as usual, really like the Skoda style the best in the VAG multiverse. For the door closing issue you talked about with grip, does the "dutch reach method" help solve that? I mean to use your 'inside' hand to reach to grip to open and close. Apparently improves vision and safety for cyclists.
I’m not a fan of SUVs but of the two I prefer the look of the ID 4. Pretty much for everything else and especially the interior I prefer the Enyaq.
The car looks really nice.
Maybe in 5 years because now it's still expensive, range could certainly be better, and there are still few and relative slow charging facilities. For now i'll buy my probably last petrol-powered car. Good and informative review by the way !
Awesome review as usual Tomas! By any chance will you be reviewing the new Hyundai Tucson??
Another great video. Thank you Thomas 👍
Thanks Thomas, I really decided to go for ID4 (still think it’s better looking) but I definitely have to look into the Skoda! Prefer interior of Skoda, more physical buttons and wool interior. And Björn Nyland said it actually was more efficient in his testing in northern climates, on the margin though!
Another great review, Thomas! You can always be relied upon for thoroughness. I love this car and plan to replace my Leon ST with one 👍🏼
Oldscool is sometimes still better, the sound quality from this mic is great
Excellent review 😊. When will you test the 85?
I didn't know the Enyaq has Regen control on the paddles. I love that on my Kona 👍
I think this car has everything! 🥳
Except super charger network!
Looks great!
LY Thomas and hello from Croatia :D
best greetings!
Curti esse vídeo ❤️ Dá uma dica de perfil interessante pra eu seguir?
Excellent review, thanks! But I wonder, how does the interior space (for passengers) compare to the Kodiaq?
You really get a lot for your money with this car.
The best offer in the class of the small SUVs so far.
Great work Skoda and also great work Thomas.
"This is the new song: Q, by Enya" ooof :-D
Excellent car review, very objective
Thanks 🙏
Dear Thomas @Autogefühl The 80x will be 4-wheel driving or also 4-wheel steering? In other words: will it improve the agility or only the accelaration? You say Enyaq is lagging the ID4 a bit in agility, so that made me think of 80x as an alternative. Thanks for answering!
Just checked the pricing through configurator and decided that I could wait.
Colour doesn’t do it justice but the interior I really prefer over the ID line. Was my favourite EV until last week when KIA presented their EV6 😱
Our Kia EV6 review is now here: ua-cam.com/video/1rpS311emAQ/v-deo.html
These new VW EV cars make me appreciate the existence of Rav4 Prime even more.
I do not own it, I only drove "regular" Rav4 Hybrid, but considering range, speed, surprisingly infotainment - TBH I would prefer Toyotas caveman radio to a new shiny system, that stutters and freezes (even if it's once in a while) and physical buttons.
We do not have this car in Canada 🇨🇦 but viewing it anyway... Love the accent... ☺️
fantastic video. Anyone have information about the future of software updates? improvements in entertainment? Netflix? o Does it freeze?
11:00 Since you're seemingly the first reviewer I found that even mentions that the car can have music.. do you happen to know what options there are to get music into it? Is there a USB or SD-card slot where I can plug my mp3 collection in?
Good review, but would be nice to see one with a family of 4/5, with luggage and roof/bike rack. Whats the range going to be then? I'm on a LR Discovery 3 at the moment and it's awesome for long trips and completely loaded up. I would change to an all EV but the range would have to improve or charging times improved.
Thanks for a great review.
I have to however disagree with you on the range aspect. I have been driving a Leaf with ~100km range in winter conditions and rarely use a rapid charger. With 3x the range the only use case would be on longer trips and even then it would mean a 30-40 minute pause after every ~3 hours of driving which seems to me at least like a nice rest period that is quite commonly taken anyway.
So it is not a requirement IMO to go for the largest battery option, both IV 50 and IV 60 can be easily enough for over 90% of use and with improving charging infrastructure the last 10% will not be that inconvenient either. The cost saving however can be quite noticeable.
The 50 has some arbitrary limitations that cry "buy me not"!
@@abraxastulammo9940 Yeah, it has been hidden in most countries configurator tool aswell I think
Looks good, want one in Thomas blue
Im liking this Skoda soo much
Wie fandest du ihn im Vergleich zum iX3 ? Was die Bedienung anbelangt, aber auch was den Fahrkomfort und die Straßenlage anbelangt.
Great review - does this car have parking assist please?
I've been waiting for this review. Thank you! Also, nice touch with the Juha Kankkunen Driving Academy -jacket!
=)
Old skool works 👍
Did you get turn directions on little screen and HUD when using CarPlay navigation waze etc. Thanks
When the 4WD model will be available? Good video! 👍😄
Great review as always Thomas! Lots to like here but can’t help thinking I would rather not have the third rate iPad stuck in the dash. Would love to have an “analogue” version with fewer features and some dials and knobs. After all, I binned my digital watch in 1983 and last time I looked Rolex are still strictly analogue!
Lack of 22kw AC onboard charger is a biggest deal breaker for Zoe owners looking to upgrade. I have a 22kw AC charger at home and it's like buying a 500Mbps Wifi with a Gigabit broadband connection. Waiting for Nissan Ariya and Renault Megane Evision.
No covers in the middle console, for the cupholders etc? Maybe available in higher specs?
Very much hoping to be able to order one of these. I think the middle battery should be fine, the range of 200 miles in all conditions is fine. I think there is one misconception that many people have, and that is that most people are going for an electric vehicle for environmental reasons. In the main, people are doing it to save money on fuel costs et cetera. Therefore leather seats and so on in an electric vehicle is perfectly understandable, I’m not necessarily a contradiction in terms. Manufacturers understand this which is why they still keep offering them
Animal and non animal materials must be fairly balanced to create diversity.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. As a start, please tune in to what the animal leather industry tried to do here with our channel: ua-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/v-deo.html

caring about other living beings is not lobbyism, it is called compassion and being human.
Thanks Thomas
Already prefer this over the ID4, but the software glitches are unacceptable.
I've tried the car, and did not experience it. I was actually surprised that the infotainment was smoother than I expected. And the layout is way better in Enyaq than in ID.4.
Can’t wait for the enyaq coupe sport line 80X
The steering wheels buttons not working with ignition off is apparently a VW group thing. I have the same issue in my Touran :)
Same thing with a lot of cars. Nothing new :)
I was looking forward for this review. For now Enyaq is a skip for me.
Things to improve:
- battery to 107kW :D (the 77kW on Autobahn will give perhaps till 300km.. for a family car and vacations or day trips is not enough I would say)
- update software and hardware of the multimedia system (no freeze, no lag)
- remove the sliding touch keys (sunroof, volume)
- design better door handles (those are looking bad and also cheap)
- use also soft plastic on the back doors
- Audi Q4 e-tron which shares the same MEB platform has the normal (big) dashboard, I would have like that also in the Enyaq (as size). On ID.4 I find it even worse :)
Question: has the Q4 e-tron also drum brakes on the rear axle?
The best looking EV inside out made by VW group so far.
I like the new presentation style, it's more dynamic but you tend to be a bit too quick and for example we didn't get any close shots at the steering wheel! (and fortunately there are real buttons there contrary to the ID3 & 4!)
Looking forward to detailed video with animal free options in particular. Range test will be useful to see with loaded boot & 3 passengers 🤔
sadly Skoda is weak in animal free options...
4:02 Thomas being innovative. 10/10 innovation.👌😅
ahaha =)
ENJA joke killed. LOL! Thank you sir & team.
Same issue in my ICE 2018 Touran, once ignition is off, buttons on wheel do not work.
Better than ID4 but still budget plastic and software. Not yet for masses.
nice interior
Could you give more details on the recuperation paddles? Do they allow for one-pedal-drive with full stop or are they really just a gimmick? Can't find any information on them yet...
I saw another review where they didn't work yet ... more software issues perhaps.
It's crazy that the Peugeot 208e and 2008e has the same range with smaller battery and faster charging (150kw). I know it is lighter but Skoda made a record heavy car... 2 tonnes not really eco-friendly.
My biggest issue is though that it is very expensive for what it delivers. 45k Euros for 2 wheel drive, small battery, 180HP car.. No. The yellow prototype was very cool. This is just expensive and ugly.
Great video again Thomas.
Yes!!😛
This is what EVs need to take off big time. A good, affordable and well designed family car that is as normal as it gets (and by the way happens to be electric).
This is the sort of EV that will win over the mass market, not the ID3
The ID.3 is for older couples where the kids have moved out. It does hit a segment in the market...but it's definitely not a family car.
@@Tafsern The ID.3 is spacious as well. Older couples don't lease cars like this, young professionals do.
The ID 3 is still a mass market car. That car would sell like a hot cake if not the software issue at the beginning. I wont count out ID 3, still has a potential but VW may lower the price to save it. It s was supposed to replace E Golf.
@@whispie. At this point the ID 3 is more mass market car than Enyac....
And you don t know VW long term policy about their ICE cars....
