The Skoda Enyaq is the Czech brand’s equivalent to the Volkswagen ID.4, but we reckon it’s a better pick than its German cousin, thanks to slightly better practicality and more generous standard equipment levels. And that’s as true for used Enyaqs as it is for new ones, which makes the prices you can now find the electric Skoda for quite tempting indeed.
The Enyaq takes the familiar form of a mid-size family SUV, and combines it with a decent range regardless of which battery option you choose, and performance that will feel brisk to anyone coming from a petrol or diesel equivalent. Skoda’s reputation for good old-fashioned common sense hasn’t evaded it in the move to electric power.
As well as the VW ID.4, the Audi Q4 e-tron is also similar under the skin, but more expensive - while other Enyaq alternatives include the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5, Nissan Ariya, and the Tesla Model Y.
The Skoda Enyaq is one of the easiest electric cars to recommend whether new or used. In that respect, it carries on a fine tradition of similarly sensible models produced by the Czech brand - the Fabia supermini and Octavia family car have always been great choices when you need plenty of car for not much money too.
The Enyaq is slightly larger than a Nissan Qashqai, but is all-electric. Four powertrains are offered, including two rear-wheel drive models with different battery sizes and power outputs, and two all-wheel drive options with the same battery, but more power still. We’ve detailed these below but all provide the Enyaq with a useful range (between 249 and 348 miles) and smooth, quiet, and brisk performance.
It isn’t as quick as some EVs but should be plenty for most family buyers, and the handling is similarly well suited to its intended role. Even the sporty vRS isn’t as fun as a well set-up combustion-powered SUV, but it’s capable, and all are easy to drive.
Practicality is one of the car’s real strong suits, with a large boot, plenty of legroom and headroom for five passengers, and an attractive and straightforward cabin layout. Skoda does offer a few livelier trim finishes too, which look a bit more interesting than the uniform dark grey used as standard.
The Enyaq shares its mechanicals with the Volkswagen ID.4 and Audi Q4 e-tron, but is more practical and better value than both, new or used. If you have an eye on style then the Kia EV6 and Hyundai Ioniq 5 are more interesting choices than the Skoda, while the Ford Mustang Mach-E is more fun to drive. As ever, you shouldn’t overlook the Tesla Model Y either, which trails the Skoda in some ways but does perform well and is a doddle to charge on Tesla’s Supercharger network.

The Skoda Enyaq is one of those electric cars where most people will likely be more than pleased with the most affordable version. With a claimed range of nearly 250 miles, decent acceleration and an equipment list that’s bursting at the seams, the Enyaq 60 makes a lot of sense as a family car, without having to spend extra on more range or greater performance. Of course, if you find one of the longer-range models for a competitive price, we’d have no hesitation recommending it, but the 60s are notably cheaper on the used market.
Opting for the basic Skoda Enyaq will be no great hardship for most drivers, as it has a healthy level of equipment from the off. The inclusion of front and rear parking sensors and a reversing camera as standard is a useful touch, and LED headlights are also welcome. Each trim level is also available with various options, so you may well find a car on sale with more than the equipment listed below.
The Skoda Enyaq’s dimensions are:
The Skoda Enyaq’s boot size is:
As the whole Skoda Enyaq range is powered by electricity, you won’t currently have to pay anything in VED or ‘road tax’, giving the Enyaq a big cost advantage over combustion-powered equivalents. This may of course change in the future.
Skoda Enyaq insurance varies between quite reasonable for an electric family car, and relatively steep. A basic 60 starts in group 24, which rises to 33 for an 85, group 37 for the 85x Sportline, and group 38 for the sporty vRS. This isn’t unusual for a car of its size and performance though - a Nissan Ariya spans groups 31 to 41, while a Kia EV6 goes from group 34 to 45.
