  Great Electric SUV Overall But Room For Improvement 8.3

  owner review of Škoda Enyaq iV 80 Suite 2021

  • Seats are super comfortable. No cramps or having to move around during long journeys. Back support is amazing.

  • Great road holding

  • Very comfortable ride. Breezes over bumps and potholes etc.

  • High quality interior - better than that of the VW ID4

  • Good range.

  • Very quiet at high speed - you can whisper and hear very clearly.

  • Great size Info Screen @ 13"

  • Great acceleration - quicker than the stated 0-60mph.

  • Super size boot and the Security Cover is retractable (unlike the ID4 on strings)

  • Lots of interior space - passengers can stretch right out, front and rear.

  • Cabin storage is good. Plenty of bins for the usual stuff you leave in a car.

  • Great visibility at the front and sides. Rear while more restricted is still more than acceptable.

  • Sound system is really good.

  • Cruise Control On/Off switch fiddly. Should not be on the same stalk as the indicators, as these can be activated accidentally.

  • Skoda App needs improving.

  • Mine does not have a Washer Fluid Reservoir Low Warning light?

  • Lane Control function is so fierce that I always switch it off. Apparently Skoda are rectifying this

  • Only 50KW Rapid Charging as standard.

  • Software can occasionally be temperamental when using the Info Screen.

  • No frunk

  • No front seat 12V input
