Should you buy one?

Yes. It’s a very good electric car from Skoda, and based on many miles driving the pre-facelift car in our long-term test, we’d have no reservations recommending one. The 2025 facelift hasn’t changed a huge amount, but the more user-friendly touchscreen and slightly improved range make it better than ever.

The pricing isn’t quite as tempting as it once was, with the Parkers award-winning Renault Scenic and Vauxhall Grandland Electric both undercutting the Enyaq, although increased standard equipment does offset that somewhat. Only one model dips below £40k – the 60 SE L – so make sure you factor in the expensive car supplement.

What’s striking about the Enyaq iV is how comfortable and inviting it is – the ride quality is first rate and the interior is tastefully designed and trimmed very nicely. It’s roomy and practical, and is packed full of clever features and useful storage solutions.

What we like

The comfort and refinement of this car are truly exceptional for the money, and combined with its space and practicality, that makes the Enyaq iV a highly recommended family car.

What we don’t like

You can only have four-wheel drive on top Sportline trim, and even then you’ll find the options list a long and expensive one. We wish the rear bench folded flatter, and there are plenty of documented electrical issues.
