Skoda Enyaq vRS Coupe Review: The greatest Skoda?!
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 11 июн 2024
- Meet the new Skoda Enyaq vRS Coupe!
It’s the sportier, more stylish brother to the regular Enyaq SUV, and Mat’s about to find out if it has what it takes to live alongside the rather impressive regular Enyaq!
One of the key differences is the exterior design. Around the back, you’re treated to a sporty sloping roofline, along with a sporty bumper and reflective light strip that comes exclusively with this vRS mode. There’s also some vRS badging spread about the car, while up front there’s a dazzling crystal grille that even lights up!
Take a step inside the styling largely mirrors that of the regular SUV. However, that’s not exactly a bad thing! Sure the digital dials could be a bit larger, and we’d prefer to have a few more physical buttons, but generally, it’s a pretty spacious, well-laid-out SUV.
In terms of performance, all Enyaq Coupes come with a 77kWh battery pack, with the range-topping being able to deliver a claimed range of 339 miles. There are three motor options to choose from, with this vRS coming with dual motors for an output of 299hp.
But should you really spend £55,000 on this vRS Coupe? Or are there better, sportier EVs out there for a similar price that you should consider instead? Stick with Mat and see for yourself!

Looks like someone tried to draw a BMW X6 from memory alone
lmaoooooooo this comment is so freaking spot on
And the X6 is already a hideous car to begin with.
And made it better than the X6
Cars have gotten so soulless
@@1240Dax true
This is like a GTA rendition of a Tesla / BMW where they merged two cars together to avoid copyright infringement, X6 and model 3 😂
GTA V version of BMW u mean?
X63
More like an early GTA rendition because they're starting to make more realistic cars now
Hahahahahaha
@@purwantiallan5089 It’s Tesla aswell you stupid fuck
The boot cover fits behind the back seats, thats why there are bumps on the sides. I think that almost every recent Škoda with this kind of cover have this option.
This car graded 0.9/10.
@@purwantiallan5089 I'm sorry to bother you with facts.
@@Inim7711 no problem Martin. I always appreciate it.
It may not be perfect, however being from the 90's I never thought I would have seen the day Skoda where showing VW how it should be done. This is much nicer inside and out than any of the ID models, more practical too with a slightly better variant of infotainment.
I thought the current version of the Superb already looks much better than the current Passat..
I agree, tho I really like the arteon. I would love skoda to go somewhere along those lines, too. Or this car as a sedan
Didn’t VW/Audi buy Skoda?
The electric Skoda cars look so much better than the VW ID cars
Nope. VW ID cars are far better. Even Rossolini LM Classic is far better than Enyaq.
@@purwantiallan5089 škoda is much better cleverer more practical and surely much nicer😂
It took me a while to realise this vRS is electric, so yeah job well done
@@YounesLayachi Younes, the Enyaq VRS only got 2.8/10.
@@damarfadlan9251 where did u get that rating?
Why did I think i photoshopped this thumbnail?

Omg it's you
It's not just this particular Enyaq Coupe that has the panoramic glass roof, EVERY Enyaq Coupe comes with a glass roof as standard.
The car quite overpriced in my opinion.
@@purwantiallan5089 Well it's only supposed to be a niche model. Most people will buy the normal Enyaq as a '60', '80' or '80x'. But from what I've heard from my local Škoda dealer, there seems to be a fair amount of interest in the Enyaq Coupé RS and people seem to be willing to pay big money for it. It may not be all that fast but it's good-looking, high-tech, fairly good quality (better than VW and some other rivals), comfortable, practical and in general easy to live with.
@@GKBehindTheWheel It's slower than a base Model 3, less practical, less room, less sport and less comfy. I really can't find a point to justify this Skoda model.
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson I'm a Model 3 driver myself, but this is bulls***. Nothing is less practical than a Model 3. Bad visibility in the rear, the trunk opening is way to small and rear passengers don't really have a lot of leg room. The Enyaq is actually bigger than the Model Y, especially in the rear. Also, in the real world, the Enyaq is consistently faster from 0-100 than my Model 3.
If you want an exciting car for yourself and don't need a lot of room, of course the Model 3 is the winner. But if you have a Family and especially if this is your only car, the Enyaq clearly is the better choice.
@@Henry_Jr_Watsson The only thing you're right about is the acceleration. The rest of your comment is ridiculous. From what angle does the Model 3 appear roomier and more practical than the Enyaq? The Enyaq is one of the most spacious and practical vehicles in its class.
Very honest Matt in this video. As always, appreciate that 👌
I agree
just like they were honest in the thumbnail, yeah?
💀💀💀💀
@@DEMON36351 the car is like a downgraded Cobra 427.
The NEON GREEN badging is sure going to age well, especially on the headrests
Oh yes and on the outside too👌 just imagine that color in 10 years or less 😂
So how much power is it making at less than 88%? What’s the difference in performance from say 90% or more and 85% or less?
Not much actually, Matt Kendrick.
@@purwantiallan5089 I’m still curious. Lol
The difference is negligible. You only start to see a difference when you go way under 50% if you are comparing it to 100% charge.
@@I_THE_ME the point is, if you're going to market it as a 300 hp cars, these conditions under which it offers that power are ridiculous. you have to be over 88% of charge which you never are and even then you get it for 30 seconds. you don't get that power 99.9% of time and yet that's the claimed power figure. enough to call it misleading imo.
@@MyRealName umm, ICE engines also claim power outputs which happen only in a narrow power band of the engine.
I think the regular enyaq makes more sense. Would really love to see that version with 7 seats like old zafira. Would really like to check for the tesla y 7 seats also. Since we aren't that big in southern Europe it could actually make more sense than in northern America 🤔
3itch, why you trying to SCAM PEOPLE
I bought an enyaq 80. Happy so far
Mat, the last time I saw your review done in the similar way “feeling like not happy and bored to review it” was for redesigned Škoda Superb Combi: one may suspect you have issues with Škoda… At least, you have been honest.
I was looking for this comment. I feel the same. I dont get the hate...
I agree with you Mat! This new Skoda Enyaq vRS Coupe actually reminds me about semtex!
Yeah you want to blow it the feck up💣💣💣💣
Wtf are you going on a about.. bot. Its called human sarcasm....
Thanks a lot for the video!
Awesome video!😸
Always nice when you guys upload!
Yep. Its always amazing.
Mat, you should have launched it above and below the 88% battery level!
More like at 300 percent battery level?
@@purwantiallan5089 why are you in everybody's mentions, indian
Looks so goooood!
This front end looks so much better than literally ANYTHING BMW put out in the last 5 years. It looks more BMW than the real BMWs nowadays lmfao
But yet it will never sell as well as a BMW.
Funny you say that... I think the front here looks horrendous... Not that most BMWs have a better front but Id take the 3 or 5 series with the still more traditional front any day over this monstrosity...
Headlights mess it up
@@richardlabeja Normal Enyaq has already sold more than the iX3... 37 000 IX3`s VS 45 000 Enyaq`s in 2021. So youre pretty obviously wrong.
@@Kronos0999 headlights always destroyed everything it looked great.
It always makes me smile when presenters like Matt Watson go on about “scratchy plastics further down” without understanding why. The reason they are used there is that these areas are in contact with feet and soft finishes would be damaged rather quickly.
Blimey, how far this car manufacturer has come in the last 40 odd years😳😳
Now they are going, Backwards again.
40 years is a damn long time, you've made no point at all.
@@tommorides8086 Skoda is now left behind even against Ohlin Motors, u know the South Korean automaker?
@@countryside_guy 40 years is very long actually.
@@purwantiallan5089 I was just referencing that when I started driving in 1983, Skoda cars were a death trap and rust buckets. So they have come such a long way since then.
Got a VRS estate pre Christmas and am getting 2.9/3.0 m/kw. Is your number based on summer conditions? Like the car.
Mat thank you so much for this insane video!
What's insane about the video?
Skoda did a great job with their cars lately. This looks great
I like big grilles! They can double up for barbecuing! 👌
The big grilles is the only thing that made the Enyaq good.
i think it looks hideous
Love the grill
I think the reason they don't have a front boot / front trunk in this car is they made the bonnet area shorter, so there is more space in the cabin.
That towbar tho!😂😂
Matt always seems to mention cheap plastics but realistically a £55k car is more affordable than a £132k car to the majority of viewers perhaps mention how tightly fitted they are or texture for creaking or rattling
This comment 💯
What? U not making sense
Sure but different cars have better or worse materials at the same prices
@@bobbiekoppejan3680 well then surely that could be stated? Otherwise you could say any car that isn’t leather interior is cheap plastic
Yes, I honestly think Mat just hates Skoda..
I lost my s**t when Mat dropped the tow ball. 😂
I have never seen a Skoda drag on this Channel before
Genuinely can't believe I live in a world where a Skoda costs £55k!! Unbelievable Jeff.
Right. I can't believe it either
I can’t believe that I live in world where people judge car by brand but not functionality and reliability… Skoda has come a long way since the early 2000’s poor build cars.. Brand is not everything (at least for people who don’t have to compete with “trends” or what’s going to make you look cool) 😎😂
@@cryptoslav7480 have a word with yourself, Skoda are part of the VAG group and are supposed to be the cheaper brand in that group. Now we're at a point where even the cheaper brand in that group are at £55k.
@@mccarly3258 You're forgetting electric cars are still new-ish and constantly get upgrades to their functionalities. You can still get cheap conventionally powered Skodas. I'm sure once Skoda goes fully electric there will be cheap versions too.
That's the price of "greener" electric cars. Peasants like me and you end up walking soon enough because ICE cars will be banned or extremely expensive to own.
Carwow clickbaiting us with bmw designs 😂😂😂
I’m picking up my new enyaq coupe in April so hope it’s nice
"I like twiddling with knobs?" ... I thought that Matt was a straight fella 😄
10 of 10, wish we had this discount BMW in America, jokes aside, I love it and wish it would come to America
1.6/10. Exactly like a downgraded Rossolini LM.
It's a hideous car
Looks better than all Mercedes EV SUV offerings
The car still pales in comparison to Nissan 240ZG 1971.
@@purwantiallan5089 one of the most random ass comparisons ive seen, how tf ur comparing a 22" Ev coupe suv with a fucking fairlady from the 70s?
@@purwantiallan5089what a braindead take
Has Matt got that Luke sponsorship yet? Crying out for it
Will you review the Audi Q8 e-tron?
Why not just get the normal Enyaq (so you get more practicality) than find a cheap sports car (far better to drive) and buy that as well. Then you don't get a horrible mashup of the two that isn't very good at either. I'm sorry I just can't see the attraction (if there is any) to this car. It may also end up cheaper than this Enyaq VRS. Matt seems to agree from what he said.
I like the look of it and the vRS is available in Orange (My next goal in car ownership :)
I like how the used the cheap X5 as a camera car 🥳

I've seen a few videos where Matt is mentioning a lack of 1 pedal driving in VW group electric cars - here he says he doesn't know why. The answer I was given by an Audi engineer is that VW cars coast - by design. Their research shows constant speed up then slow down via regen actually gives a lower level of efficiency vs cars that roll more. Reason being is you can carry more momentum without using power via rolling, whereas if you're constantly speeding up, then using the regen to slow down, you're slowing down too much and have to step on the "gas" pedal more often to get back up to speed. Given the extra weight of electric vehicles, this makes even more sense as they'll coast easier due to their larger mass. So it's a choice and you'll likely continue to see it.
Well thats 50/50 chance for that
I'm driving a Q4 50 which, apart from the looks, is pretty much the same car. What Matt also fails to mention (I think, at least), is that the car automatically regenerates in many situations once you take your foot off the "gas" (e.g. if you're approaching an intersection or are too close to the car in front of you) and otherwise coasts to preserve momentum. Also, if you hit the break pedal, it'll use regen breaking as well so. From personal experience (comparing break and the regular drive mode), this actually is more efficient and I find it more comfortable to just lift my foot off the "gas" whenever I don't need to accelerate and let the car do the right thing. A friend of mine has a Model 3 and I asked him how he is coasting. He said that you'll learn to push the "gas" just the right amount to not slow down and to not accelerate.
the thumbnail gave me a heart attack
Are you going to test Cupra Formentor VZ5 ?
Saw this car on the road today for the first time and had to pick my jaw up off the floor.
Was that a good or bad reaction?!
IMO the regular enyaq is almost perfect. Somewhat affordable, efficient, more practical, not wannabe sporty etc
They pulled the Photoshop skills for the massive grille from the Straight pipes lol 😂
Good review.... Especially the "facts" about the restricted power and average suspension.
👆👆👆 congratulations 👆👆 you have been selected as a winner.......
@carwow You have good content. You don't need to photoshop things on thumbnail for clicks
I wish manufacturers would put more effort into max 25k cars. All these new EVs are too much
Sounded like you said £54k, nice one Matt, what’s the actual price?
Please do drag race between enyaq vrs vs id4 gt vs audi quatrro all with the same engine 😁
Nice drum brakes on the rear VW! Well done! That's really sporty VRS stuff!
It doesn't make any sense to put disc brakes on the rear axle of an electric car. Most of the braking is done through recuperation, those rear brakes hardly get any use. And if you don't use them, they will be faulty within some years. Brake disks start to rust, brake pistons seize, the W169 A Class is a perfect example for this. Drum brakes don't have these issues and are a much better fit for these cars.
@@maxfsa4639 its not about Logic anymore. Its about what your neighbor thinks about you ads your car...
the fact that i wasnt REALLY surprised when i glanced at the thumbnail...speaks volumes about the current automotive design's misery :(
The Enyaq VRS looked like Rossolini LM on the front end
In the UK, the Enyaq Coupe can only be had in vRS trim, not Sportline. The orange coloured car shown briefly at 1:41 isn't a Sportline - it has chrome window and grill surrounds. All Sportline (now badged Sportline Plus models) of the standard Enyaq in the UK have black window and grill surrounds, the same as the vRS Coupe.
Why did you edit the grill like that😂❤️
You can't justget full stop without braking lights being on, so i think that's why you can't get the full one pedal drive, also it's not practical that your brake lights pop on every time you take away your foot from the acceleration pedal, soo that's why 😊

Nope... breaklights do work with full regeneration without brake pedal. There is a small delay with the light so it doesn't pop on every time. I drive a normal iv80 for one year now. The full one pedal braking isn't on skoda to make sure that stopping puts your foot on the brake and you van initiate auto hold. I love how it works.

£55k for a SKODA?! Get in the bin XD
Should've been 100k pounds.
What would be the equivalent of a skoda in the US? Like, with all the plastic and how it is in the back, I would have expected it to like…25k. Here the bmw 5 series starts at $52k I think.
@@Pokeonrocks5 they're equivalent of VW where I live, I believe it'll be the same in the US
@@AnkitSingh-ez5gc thank you! That makes sense, because in the US, VW’s interiors are about that nice. That is pretty wild that it’s THAT expensive with that kind of interior. What car do you drive, my good man?
@@Pokeonrocks5 I totally agree, the pricing is so steep, if I had the choice, I'd rather spend it on one of the big Germans and definitely not a skoda haha ! My family drives a humble Hyundai Verna & a VW Jetta. What do you like to keep in your garage ?
In general are the Skoda cars as reliable as Yugo's from the '80s?? Or are they something people actually like to buy in the UK for reliability and comfort etc???
They are basically rebadged Volkswagens
It's clear, even more clear with those "performance" models that Volkswagen is still a lot behind its competitors regarding powertrains.
The MEB platform is still extremely weak in that regard, especially compared to the competitors.
Never thought I'd say this about a skoda but damn this is one of the coolest looking electric cars I've ever seen. Looks more like a BMW than the latest BMWs 😅
None of which matters, because Skoda dealers can't actually tell you how long the waiting list is on this car... because they don't know.
Had one on order for coming up to a year now. They still can't tell me anything. No dealers have one in stock so you can't crawl around inside one yet, much less test-drive it.
I'm sure it's a great car, but with orders being cancelled in their droves and with potentially a 2-year waiting list, Skoda have really f'd up here.
Mat Sould Make a Car To See How Good He Is.
Taking inspo from TheStraightPipes I see
I think this car looks good, doesn’t seem to be the case with most of the viewers but each to their own i guess lol

If I have to buy this I would go for the SportLine
Bmw grille vibes to be honest
🤘 I agree 🤣🤣
As a previous owner of a octavia mk4 vrs i really hope they've sorted the infotainment out. Its absolutely shite and ended my 15 years of skoda ownership. I got a warning light after 3 miles of driving it . (It was brand new aswell).
Currently in a megane rs trophey and its great .
The old Octavia and Felicia models are still far better than Enyaq.
Hey Matt, Big Fan from India. Have watched ALL the videos you've done, very informative & entertaining. Can you please find a moded VRS/Golf in UK and review it, pretty sure it is easy to find that particular car there :)
*********Hope you see this comment & respond*******
The Coupé SUV shape is something that I will never understand, how is people even attracted to *that*

The crystal grill looks amazing in darker settings, too bad you didnt showcase it
Surely if the WLTP test is meant to be "realistic" then the results should be pretty much what you'll get in the real world but that just isn't the case for EV's.
Same for ICE car efficiency/mpg too tbf
@@Stewiedude1 in some cases yes... these EV cases are lies or I call them utter bollocks.
@@rasherbasher8203 I disagree, the measure is supposed to be mixed driving in which case these cars could probably do the stated range.
What would be a better metric was a measure of max range assuming 70/75 mph on the motorway.
That way people know the minimum the should expect to get and any other driving conditions will be more.
These ranges only become relevant when you have to make rare but distant trips. Having the metric reflect that would be much better.

These prices are getting ridiculous, no way people are going to pay £55k for an electric Skoda apart from a few with more money than sense.
Electric cars are pointless, you are not saving the planet, they cost too much, you have to plan everything around them and in due time once a large chunk of population is on them, they will cost just as much as diesel or petrol cars to charge up
You'd have to be an idiot to pay 55k for a skoda

Incorrect.
It's called the VRS in the UK market because Ford has a copyright on the 'RS' badge over here. In Europe and everywhere else, it's the RS.

I like Skoda's I bought an Octavia VRS new in 2009 for £18600 (they did me a mega price) with loads of extras like heated leather seats, Xenons etc. It was an amazing car which we kept for 8 years. For a time we ran it alongside a Porsche Macan S, which was a really nice car...but cost £54K.
I can't believe that this Skoda is now the same price we paid for a loaded Porsche Macan in 2016!! 😯
Why not, what the hell is your problem?

Price/Brand issue.
Skoda are a fantastic budget brand...but if u go to their dealers they are just sensible and solid..no problem with that bit you're not going to get a latte and shortbread that you'd get at Audi/Porsche.
54K is a 'luxury' price point...lots of amazing cars at this price.
I don't think it's a Skoda problem, it's an EV problem.👍🏻
