Used Skoda Enyaq buying guide
Powertrains
In total, there are five different variants of the Enyaq to choose from. The Enyaq 60 is Skoda's entry-level model with a 58kWh battery, that has 246 miles of range and a 180hp electric motor powering the front wheels.
Next up is the 80 and 80 SportLine Plus. Both of these options have a 77kWh battery, but the 80 has a slightly longer range of 339 miles compared to the 80 SportLine Plus, which has a range of 332 miles.
Despite the shorter range, the 80 SportLine Plus has performance-inspired styling and comes with 20" alloy wheels instead of the standard 19" wheels found on the 60 and 80 trims.
Moving on to the 80x, which has 4x4 drive and the same 77kWh battery. This version can go from 0-62 mph in just 6.8 seconds; noticeably faster than the 80 and 80 SportLine Plus.
The Enyaq vRS is the top-of-the-range model that boasts impressive performance with 299 horsepower and a range of 321 miles. It can reach 62 mph in just 6.5 seconds. Additionally, it is available in the visually striking hyper-green colour option.
Practicality
Unlike many other electric cars, the Enyaq is lacking a front storage compartment. However, this is more than made up for by the whopping 585 litres of boot space, which should be plenty for most families. Inside, the Enyaq is a similar story, with plenty of head and leg room in both the front and back.
Safety
The Enyaq scored the full five stars in Euro NCAP safety tests, thanks to its safety systems like Front Assist. This is an autonomous emergency braking system which detects obstacles in front of the vehicle and automatically applies the brakes if it needs to. Also featured in the Enyaq is lane assist, collision-avoidance assist and turn assist which all come as standard on the Enyaq, no matter which specification you go for.
Some other great safety features are available on the Enyaq, such as rear traffic alert, which can assist drivers in safely exiting a line of cars. Additionally, park distance and manoeuvre assist can be helpful in tight spaces to reduce the risk of accidentally hitting obstacles while parking.
Technology
The Enyaq boasts an impressive range of technology features, including an infotainment system that enables you to display your smartphone on the 13" centre touchscreen display. Additionally, you can enjoy wireless charging and two USB-C ports. The back of the Enyaq is also well-equipped, with two more USB-C ports, climate controls, and a rear socket. You can even set the mood in the Enyaq with ambient lighting and choose from ten colours.
To make things even easier, there's a virtual assistant named Laura, which you can activate through voice commands. Laura can control various car systems, including the air conditioning, and even provide directions on the screen.
