I absolutely love this car. Proud owner. Got it 1 week ago and the finish is top quality, the drive is super. The only downside is that its very very popular. Over here in The Netherlands, already thousands have been sold (roughly 600 delivered). So it is becoming 'a normal car' instead of a 'special car' too soon. I think it will top the sales compared to ID4 by a landslide
It's like VW went with the simple version and Skoda went with the luxury trim of the same car, weirdly making it more efficient even with bigger tires.
so much so, that the manager of the skoda division in the VW group has been fired (probably) for doing a job too well, he out shined all the other managers in the vw group
I have driven 26 year with VW those ID models look so ugly and cheap that i order Enayq 80x. Only bad thing in Enyaq is infotainment and it's because VW. If someone needed to be fired it's one who is in main company and restrict several thing.
I just did a test at 130kmph yesterday, outside temp 11C, moderate rain, distance 220km, average 24kWh/100km, heating on at 22-23C inside. The motorway has signigicant hills I've tested the enyaq at. I think its quite good for the conditions. I tested also on country road, average speed 60kmph, 11C outside, 22-23C inside, moderate-light rain, 17.8kWh/100km average, 190km total distance. I regulary drive this latter route with my 40kWh Leaf, I can do this route with this conditions around 17kWh/100km consumption with the Leaf. But this Enyaq is way bigger, than Leaf. I think its very efficient...

@@victorc.979 I’ve been in both and like the Enyaq interior better but only in brown, which makes it a bit less dark. The only better thing about the ID4 is when you have the glass roof stretching from front to back (Enyaq’s glass roof is way smaller). It gives a roomy feeling. Driving, agility, etc is all same-same. If you go for Enyaq forget 21” rims (less comfort and less range) and adaptive dampers are welcome option. I am only still on the fence whether to order this one or wait for the fourwheel Enyaq.
@@victorc.979 You're wrong. Lot's of people have been in an Enyaq. It has begun being delivered to people that ordered it too and test drives started a month ago.
Thanks for the Video Björn. Our iV 60 is waiting for us at the dealer hear in Germany. Enyaq in Germany is way cheaper than ID 4 as you purchase at and with the dealer and not at VW directly. So, a discount of up to 10-12% can be achieved.

Great video, Bjørn👍 You don’t have to rotate the wheel to keep the assist to work. It’s HOD on the car. I’ve found where the sensors is, and it’s just under the main spokes. Just touch the inside with your thumb and you’re all set. Only need to touch one side of the wheel.
The way every EV reviewer talks in the range test 'there is wind from North/south and so on' it feels like we are not driving a car but actually sailing a ship :D Those good old days of driving a fuel guzzling engine are over when wind was not a problem. Jokes apart, good video again Bjorn :)

@@chrizz754 It is actually bigger, even if on paper seems marginal, but in real world there is a difference in size... Longer and wider... Both cars are on the limits of driving in dense European streets... Enyaq is impressive car...
Hi Bjørn, thanks for the video. This car felt like slightly better the ID4 in all the aspects. I just could not get the comparison of the size of SUV's. Is EQC smaller than this car? From outside it is big but then are you referring to inside size?
I've been driving ID.4 1st for about a Month now. Everyday I travel the same distance. The consumption vary alot. Even on days with same temperature and wind condition it vary. Maybe it has something to do with low and high weather pressure also? The consumption vary between 17.6 and 13.3. kWh/100 km in temperature between 5 to 11 degrees celsius on my daily commute. So I really think this kind of tests do not reveal enough facts to tell which car is the most effecient. Then you must do the test on the same road,same time. The test give you a roughly estimate,but it looks like weather condition May impact the result more than one should think. Especially for id.4,enyaq and I Will guess Q4 e tron
Here in Finland has been 2 bigger test with over 50 different car. They drove same route in same time and day and if you compare to Björn results doesn't vary too much.
That spot, there where the sun come's in to your eyes reflecting from that shining stuff. I was just like "shit I will put something mat and covered fast as possible" after 1 sec. Bjørn says the same shit 😄
Thanks for the great videos and info as usual! Curiously the Enyaq has 235 tires all round while the ID4 has 255 at the back. Also curious that the Enyaq apparently has a better Cd, I would say otherwise by looking at the exterior detail finishing... Anyway, good efficiency in both cars considering the SUV size and shape, with negligible difference in my view.
@0:30 I love those alloys, but they look too easy to kerb / scratch. Although I'm careful, my Enyaq (if I get one) will be a company car, so colleagues are entitled to use it, too and will be less careful I think.
In Sweden, we pay electricity network fees of about 5000 Euro per year for a 150kw charger. If I am going to start a new charging station with 3 150kw chargers then the fixed electricity network fee will be 15000 Euro per year. And then I have not paid for the electricity consumption!
I don't think that 20mm width difference would account for so different drag coefficient. If anything, skoda had bit of a disadvantage with 21" wheels vs 20" wheels for ID4. And the fact that there is noticable difference at high speed and little to no difference at lower speed shows that it is caused by drag and not rolling resistence.
I think it could be different weather condition. The battery pack seems to be very picky Even with 1-2 degrees different. And high og pressure wind is more Heavy than low pressure wind Even with same temp.
@@wermagst Yes, and drag coefficient was slighly lower in this than in ID.4 so that could explain the difference already. Of course the small width difference of rear tires might have something to do also, and in real deliveries should be identical than in ID.4 so that difference is not really real difference.
@@FSXgta I doubt it makes that much of a difference considering the good high power charging network in Norway. In my 110 km range 2015 Nissan Leaf every km counted and so the heat pump was worth it but with 300-400 kms I’m not bothered, I didn’t order the heat pump in the id3 tour 5 either for the reason it doesn’t offer 1400 euros worth of efficiency in my opinion and I’m glad it’s an option rather than force people to pay for stuff they don’t want or need.
2:00 Enyaq and ID4 weights about average. I can't believe Mercedes EQV & ECC are 1,000 kg more than Tesla Model 3. US Model Y is similar in weight to Model 3 as well. Even Audi E-Tron is about 2,500 kg in this table.
I might have missed it, but is this the 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive version, and if it's the 2WD, is the 4WD expected to have the same range? What are the smallest wheels that will fit over the brakes? There are way too many square edged holes in the roads around here to even consider low profile tyres. Taller tyres are way cheaper, roll more efficiently and more quietly and since it's supposed to be an SUV, driving on rough ground is easier too.
Your question is old but this was 2WD and 4WD will consume slight more but not a big difference. I heard few was sold 18" inch wheels but not sure i choose 19" for better comfort and more range.
Hi Bjørn Please can you tell me if the vehicle you are range testing is fitted with the optional extra of a heat pump? I suppose one other question might be how much more range might you expect if it wasn’t? Thank you.
This car has the WRONG rimsize at the back! You are only getting staggered wheels with the iv80 from the factory. Your car has Iv60 rims fitted on an Iv80 car! Only the iv50/60 has the same rimsizes all around. This test is showing results with an option customers won't get without paying new/exchanging RIMS from a lower battery vehicle! Edit: Norwegian Skoda Pricelist says the same. Only staggered for iv80 (235/255)
Interesting that they lended you a car with 235 wide rear wheels, all iv80s have 255 wide rear wheels from the factory. Have Skoda deliberately "trimmed" the car for your range testing and is that the reason it appears more efficient than ID4?
Question for you Bjørn! Do you know why this Enyaq had 235/45-21 both front and back? Skoda say it will be with 235/45-21 in front and 255/40-21 at the back for the 80 and 80x. Its only the 50 and 60 version that has the same wheel front and back? I have been told that this is because for the weight of the car?
I like the Skoda's interior better than ID4. It's not bulky looking. He's right about that shiny interior. That has got to go. But hey, I'm in the US and I don't think we'll ever see the Skoda here.
thanks Bjørn for another top quality video. I am eyeing this platform for my next car or the volvo xc40. Looking so much forward to you getting your hands on a Q4.
Skoda now has the best interior in the VW group. I wish the exterior was just as nice (subjective of course but put it next to an Ioniq 5 and I personally wouldn't even bother getting inside the Skoda). I don't get why people want these huge, expensive, noisy and range eating wheels either.
It is better than the vw id.4, but audi Q4 still has physical buttons for the climate control, and higher quality leather. But the steering wheel controls on the skoda look better.
2013 vs 2021 - 8 years is a lot of development time. I don't know about the 2013 model but at least my 2015 Zoe had a heat pump as standard - No VAG cars have this as standard in the UK. More shame at £1,005 option I think. Even so, 60kwh is still the cheapest EV of this size though.
@@garyallsopp6369 Fair point. 2013 Zoe also has a heat pump as standard (in the Netherlands at least), which indeed is a clever bit of engineering and a smart choice.
Yeah that tiny screen it's Not a good Solution iD4 is better, i imagine an eV like This size had even a better aerodinamic design i Am sure it would be much lower
@@bjornnyland My logic: ID.4 is better than ID.3 already, this level VW tries to archive with refresh of ID.3 I guess. And EnyaQ is another level above ID.4 obviously. So if I count correctly, 2 leagues above ID.3. ^^ Lets not split hairs, shall we. (: Good Morning and have a nice weekend EV ambassador.

Agreed. Checked both out last year
I think there are the wrong tyres at the rear. In Germany it's like ID4 with 255 at the rear.
You're right. Someone messed it up.
My thought as well. In all specs and examples I have seen 80 has 255 in rear.
Yup, should be 255 in the rear
Could that be the reason that car underreported the distance travelled?

The test give you a roughly estimate,but it looks like weather condition May impact the result more than one should think. Especially for id.4,enyaq and I Will guess Q4 e tron
Here in Finland has been 2 bigger test with over 50 different car. They drove same route in same time and day and if you compare to Björn results doesn't vary too much.
That spot, there where the sun come's in to your eyes reflecting from that shining stuff. I was just like "shit I will put something mat and covered fast as possible" after 1 sec. Bjørn says the same shit 😄
Thanks for the great videos and info as usual!
Curiously the Enyaq has 235 tires all round while the ID4 has 255 at the back. Also curious that the Enyaq apparently has a better Cd, I would say otherwise by looking at the exterior detail finishing...
Anyway, good efficiency in both cars considering the SUV size and shape, with negligible difference in my view.
Pirelli 235/45 R21....260 euro each one ! what a genius move.....
I wonder why Pirelli. Not standard . . .
My ID4 1st Max was delivered on Pirelli Scorpion but with 255/45 R21 on the rear axle. Almost €1500 for the 4 tires in Norway...
Hi Bjorn, please see my reaction on your answer to me regarding T-shirt/China / sustainability. Keep up the good work😉
Piano finish and chrome??!! Are we back in the 50's or 60's??
I am really looking forward to the all wheel drive version. Maybe it will be my first all electric car.
@0:30 I love those alloys, but they look too easy to kerb / scratch. Although I'm careful, my Enyaq (if I get one) will be a company car, so colleagues are entitled to use it, too and will be less careful I think.
Awesome. Super excited to see more videos about this car 😁
A range test pulling a small trailer would great to see
In Sweden, we pay electricity network fees of about 5000 Euro per year for a 150kw charger.
If I am going to start a new charging station with 3 150kw chargers then the fixed electricity network fee will be
15000 Euro per year. And then I have not paid for the electricity consumption!
Good job.... I’am waiting for eqa ‘s test...
Could the difference between ID.4 and Enyaq be caused by the width of the rear tires? I think that matters more than the diameter.
I don't think that 20mm width difference would account for so different drag coefficient. If anything, skoda had bit of a disadvantage with 21" wheels vs 20" wheels for ID4. And the fact that there is noticable difference at high speed and little to no difference at lower speed shows that it is caused by drag and not rolling resistence.
I think it could be different weather condition. The battery pack seems to be very picky Even with 1-2 degrees different. And high og pressure wind is more Heavy than low pressure wind Even with same temp.
Could it be that 10cm extra length making aero slicker? Or just some vortex is missing because of slightly different shape?
@@Karjis Yes, longer vehicles have lower air resistance but that is already included in the drag coefficient.
@@wermagst Yes, and drag coefficient was slighly lower in this than in ID.4 so that could explain the difference already. Of course the small width difference of rear tires might have something to do also, and in real deliveries should be identical than in ID.4 so that difference is not really real difference.
There's roughly 20 Kms in the difference between the Enyak and the id.4, that's not worth worrying about when choosing which one to buy.
In Norwegian winter every km matters
@@FSXgta I doubt it makes that much of a difference considering the good high power charging network in Norway.
In my 110 km range 2015 Nissan Leaf every km counted and so the heat pump was worth it but with 300-400 kms I’m not bothered, I didn’t order the heat pump in the id3 tour 5 either for the reason it doesn’t offer 1400 euros worth of efficiency in my opinion and I’m glad it’s an option rather than force people to pay for stuff they don’t want or need.
In Finland Skoda is called Skeida = shit. Nowdays Skodas are quite good cars.
Wow! Interesting result. It seems it is worth it to test same platform cars just to see these differences
2:00 Enyaq and ID4 weights about average. I can't believe Mercedes EQV & ECC are 1,000 kg more than Tesla Model 3. US Model Y is similar in weight to Model 3 as well. Even Audi E-Tron is about 2,500 kg in this table.
I might have missed it, but is this the 2 wheel drive or 4 wheel drive version, and if it's the 2WD, is the 4WD expected to have the same range?
What are the smallest wheels that will fit over the brakes? There are way too many square edged holes in the roads around here to even consider low profile tyres. Taller tyres are way cheaper, roll more efficiently and more quietly and since it's supposed to be an SUV, driving on rough ground is easier too.
Your question is old but this was 2WD and 4WD will consume slight more but not a big difference. I heard few was sold 18" inch wheels but not sure i choose 19" for better comfort and more range.
the leaf i drive is epic
Mini Chewbacca at 4:02!
At half speed its amazing :-)
I see a new upload, i press ”thumbs up”!
Why?
Great video as always. May we have the chance to see this test with 19 or 20" wheels? That would be my preferred option for Enyaq if I finally get it
Probably not.
Can always take the WLTP conversions between 19/20/21 ranges and apply the same factor to these figures. No real reason to think that wouldn’t work.
Is the new Fiat 500e still not available in your country? Thanks
Hi Bjørn
Please can you tell me if the vehicle you are range testing is fitted with the optional extra of a heat pump? I suppose one other question might be how much more range might you expect if it wasn’t? Thank you.
Looks better then ID4
Hello can you also test the range of the 60 version
Bjørn it's not Elektroauto, it's elektrické vozidlo 🤭
As a Polish person, this just sounds so funny hahaha
head-space looks enormous
This car has the WRONG rimsize at the back! You are only getting staggered wheels with the iv80 from the factory. Your car has Iv60 rims fitted on an Iv80 car! Only the iv50/60 has the same rimsizes all around. This test is showing results with an option customers won't get without paying new/exchanging RIMS from a lower battery vehicle!
Edit: Norwegian Skoda Pricelist says the same. Only staggered for iv80 (235/255)
Yes. And Pirellis. They might have less rolling resistance. . .
Helo dear mr. Bjørn Nykand. Will you make a Skoda Enyaq iV 60 PLUS range test
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 THANKS You
Interesting that they lended you a car with 235 wide rear wheels, all iv80s have 255 wide rear wheels from the factory. Have Skoda deliberately "trimmed" the car for your range testing and is that the reason it appears more efficient than ID4?
It's a nice car, just wish it had support for 200+ kW charging.
Considering that 21"
Less than 19kwh/100km are nice for such big car
Great
yes ! finally in your chanmel !
Materials and build quality: 👍👍
Piano finish: 🤮
James May brown: 💩
Bjørn: 🥷
Always liked Skoda design better then VW, more modern and race look. Same with this one, like the look's better then ID series.
Question for you Bjørn! Do you know why this Enyaq had 235/45-21 both front and back? Skoda say it will be with 235/45-21 in front and 255/40-21 at the back for the 80 and 80x. Its only the 50 and 60 version that has the same wheel front and back? I have been told that this is because for the weight of the car?
It was a mistake by Møller.
It would be nice to know is there battery heater when charging and driving when it is cold winter weather
I like the Skoda's interior better than ID4. It's not bulky looking. He's right about that shiny interior. That has got to go. But hey, I'm in the US and I don't think we'll ever see the Skoda here.
thanks Bjørn for another top quality video. I am eyeing this platform for my next car or the volvo xc40. Looking so much forward to you getting your hands on a Q4.
Nio ES8? Now in Norway, waiting Bjorn
I didn’t know this was bigger than EQC!
It is bigger inside, but smaller on the outside
What exterior colour is this? Brilliant-silver metallic?
Quartz Grey Metallic
Thanks for saying SHkoda not like most uk speakers skoda
Good job!
Skoda now has the best interior in the VW group. I wish the exterior was just as nice (subjective of course but put it next to an Ioniq 5 and I personally wouldn't even bother getting inside the Skoda). I don't get why people want these huge, expensive, noisy and range eating wheels either.
It is better than the vw id.4, but audi Q4 still has physical buttons for the climate control, and higher quality leather. But the steering wheel controls on the skoda look better.
This car is ~800kg heavier than my 2013 Renault Zoe, yet almost matches its efficiency. Well done Škoda 👏 (or shame on you, Renault)
2013 vs 2021 - 8 years is a lot of development time. I don't know about the 2013 model but at least my 2015 Zoe had a heat pump as standard - No VAG cars have this as standard in the UK. More shame at £1,005 option I think. Even so, 60kwh is still the cheapest EV of this size though.
@@garyallsopp6369 Fair point. 2013 Zoe also has a heat pump as standard (in the Netherlands at least), which indeed is a clever bit of engineering and a smart choice.
Thumbs Up
235/45/21 inch yeeeaaaah
Yeah that tiny screen it's Not a good Solution iD4 is better, i imagine an eV like This size had even a better aerodinamic design i Am sure it would be much lower
Hej Björn. Can you check out new china car Come in in Europa just now from dongfeng series 3 and 5. Thx
It has a sunroof?
The interior is about 3 leagues above the ID.3, VW knows that and will improve update the ID.3 interior. Hopefully get rid of ALL the glossy elements.
I disagree. It's more like 1 level above ID3/ID4, but not 3 leagues.
@@bjornnyland My logic: ID.4 is better than ID.3 already, this level VW tries to archive with refresh of ID.3 I guess. And EnyaQ is another level above ID.4 obviously. So if I count correctly, 2 leagues above ID.3. ^^ Lets not split hairs, shall we. (:
Good Morning and have a nice weekend EV ambassador.
