NEW 2021 SKODA ENYAQ IV ELECTRIC SUV REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Skoda Enyaq iV is presented as a practical and comfortable electric SUV, often compared to its VW ID.4 sibling. The reviewer highlights its spacious interior and generous boot capacity, which surpasses key rivals like the ID.4, Ford Mach-E, and Nissan Ariya. While the base models offer good value and qualify for government grants, the reviewer strongly advises caution with the extensive and costly option packs, noting that the price can quickly escalate beyond £50,000, eroding Skoda's traditional value proposition. Performance is described as adequate for family duties rather than sporty, with the fastest version still lagging behind competitors like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Ford Mustang Mach-E. The interior is found to be conventional but practical, with a preference expressed for certain interior trim options over the tested 'Suite' edition. The reviewer concludes that while the Enyaq iV is a competent and relaxing car, potential buyers should be mindful of the configurator to avoid overspending.
