Skoda Enyaq

The coupe versions of SUVs look terrible, don't know why people pay more for them. Coupe meant to be sleek and stylish, which SUVs certainly aren't. They look OK in pictures but look awkward and ugly out on the road. They don't know what the hell they're trying to be.

Saw Audi etron and q4 etron sportbacks or whatever they call them and they look very wrong from certain angles. Reminds me of the hideous BMW 5GT and 3GT they had out about 10 years ago, just horrendous.

And I'd be a big fan of Audi designs but once someone makes one they all make one so not to lose sales.

Someone will crack the formula some day but hasn't been done yet.

i genuinely cannot believe the prices of the ID4/ID3/Enyak when compared to the EV6 and Ioniq 5.

I'm not saying the Ev6 and Ioniq 5 are cheap but they are so much better value pound for pound.

Agreed. I have an ID4. Have seen a couple of ID5s on the road and think they look so much worse than mine. I mean, what's the point in them?

Any word on pricing or availability on the Enyaq coupe ? Has some nice colours in other markets if you’re brave.

VW ID.5 misses out on the SEAI grant but surely the Skoda version will be cheaper and might just creep under the €60k

If I ordered my enyaq on November 1st 2021 and still waiting on it, is there any chance they could

A. Change the agreed price?

B. Cancel my order completely?

I Ask this purely based on the fact that the prices have gone up and the vrt changes from the budget

Thanks

have to agree, i was surprised at the prices. I do think they are probably better built and will hold value but at the moment they are uncompetitive but in 3 years time you may make it back on resale value compared to Kia/Hyundai etc. I am trying to way up pros and cons. Must look into the Skoda, didn't check that out but i trust it is up there with the id4 price, so..... really difficult to know what to do, plug in hybrid may be a better value option for the moment

the detail on that service plan looks light. Is there a limited time duration on this. Thought I heard 3 years. Website says…

So does that mean if you don’t need tyres and breaks in the 3 years then all you get is the 2 “services” and a granny charging cable? Has anyone managed to not pay the 2k?

That’s the impression I got as well today. Was kind of said that it’s just part of the delivery cost. Just seems like forcing another thousand on the price. Looking at 19s and low enough mileage too so unlikely to get the benefit.

just wondering - family member has 222 enyaq 60 ( will get further details ) - bottom line they are not liking it .

they want a petrol hybrid so will look at sorting that .

I don’t kniw much about the Enyaq but he is hoping not to loose too much - personally I’m thinking a private sale but issue will be getting a new car .

any ideas -

Range is an issue for long journeys

Best bet would be to try a few Skoda Dealers that would give good money for such a fresh trade in. Enyaq 80 has way more range than the 60 if their only issue with the car is range anxiety. It would be difficult to sell privately unless they’re prepared to take a big hit on it.

Yeah if not keen on same dealer would ring around a number of other Skoda Dealers as Joe has advised.

Have they a particular petrol hybrid in mind?

Would the Kia Xceed Phev be too low for them? It is a crossover based on the Ceed. Would be cheaper than the three you mention in PHEV.

It sounds like they want a PHEV, all the joys of an EV for urban driving with no range anxiety.

Pretty sure Skoda don't do a PHEV SUV.

is there still a long wait time for one of these enyaq's?

Not really, last I heard there’s Mid February build slots available and dealers are also ordering in some for stock. Should be a good few registered next March/April ahead of the grant being cut.
