The fact that Skoda didn't include touch controls in the steering wheel makes it instantly better. Maybe that partly explains the 12-14 month lead time on these :/ Keep up the good work Bjørn! Also, I the decision to got piano black plastic inside door trims .. Jesus VW ...
It looks almost 100% like the original Vision iV concept. Skodas have always been Simply Clever, I miss so many features from my Kodiaq with the Model Y. The interior is much nicer in the Enyaq than in the ID4/5 or Etron (almost no glossy black)
Very impressive and very competitive to Tesla Model Y. There are some nice features like 2 displays etc. which we are missing in Model Y. Very nice test like always from Bjorn 👍
Not sure if anyone else mentioned this but perhaps it’s heavier than the ‘full fat’ original Enyaq because of the weight of the larger glass sunroof, and the additional motor? I think the first Enyaq you tested only had one motor. The extra aluminium associated with the larger Enyaq probably doesn’t weigh that much extra than the bodywork of the VRS.
"This is quite deep, yeah that's what she said" 🤣 Björn, thank's for your videos, I not only watch them for information, but also for entertainment and I guess that's your USP ;) Greetings from Munich!
I would Go for the id5. There are some good Features/gimmicks but i like the Digital tacho attached on the steering better and to not be able close the roof is a nogo :) Also the ID light bar in the cabine which indicates a lot information by different color, moving light etc is a great information tool (warning,loading,leaving lane left or rigth), no need for head up Display in my opinion.
I have the same problem with the Canton Soundsystem on my iv80. It happened 2 times that I've lost the low base. It worked again on the next morning. I also know another iv80 driver with canton and the same problem. Hopefully they will fix that soon. It seems to be a software problem.
@@MrBentCleanson yeah it's ok. I can't compare it to other sound system as I always had the standard ones before. But the Standard System on the Enyaq was so bad, so therefore I've ordered the Canton. You have to play with the equalizer to find the perfect sound, especially the base. I like it very much now :)
Hi, would be interesting to get an official statement from neither Skoda or Canton, or both for that matter, about the rattling from the speakers. I am waiting for Sportline 80X with Canton. If there are any sound issues/rattling etc, this is non acceptable.
i like Skoda Enyaq more then ID5. Better design, better efficiency, much nicer interier with fyzical buttons and more space, mayby even cheeper then ID5.
I read somewhere that they are marketed as RS in some countries and vRS in others. It's always been vRS in the UK. I think it might originally have been because other brands were using RS ie Ford
The Czech Skoda Auto website uses the RS nomenclature rather than vRS. As it is a Czech company I would argue that their way is the correct, despite the fact that the UK website uses vRS. But they do in fact use different nomenclature in different markets.
Hello. I like the videos on that channel. Agile content style, informationen at high level and with enough deepness. Special is the include Audio-Guru-Part. Thanks for that work. One Questions. Why there are sometimes typical german words "kaputt", .... Did you live a few years in germany? No Problem with that - i like that too. I live there.
I chose the Enyaq Coupe. Mostly because of the design, it looks better on the outside, and the interior is much nicer by design, the ID.5 is too minimalistic for my taste. I also looked at the Q4 ETron, but I don't like the exterior design, especially the big disproportioned grille, also it's about 100.000Nok more expensive than the Enyaq, the interior quality may be better in the Audi, but the overall design of the Enyaq and the big infotainment screen made me order an Enyaq RS Coupe. Also considered the MB EQC, the BMW iX1 and iX3 but they fell short on range. I think the MB EQE SUV will be a very interesting car when it is launched, but I did not have time to wait.
Pretty sure Model 3 and Y are both 0.23. Agree, all three cars have great drag coefficient, but bear in mind the Skoda and Model Y are bigger cars. The actual drag they create would still be more than the Model 3, even if the coefficient are essentially the same.
Unfortunately the Canton sound system is pretty mediocre. I have the same vibration and rattling in my Superb. Hopefully Skoda will eventually upgrade this long standing problem.
The rattling can come from some object you had in the door box? My parking slip usually rattles when placed suitably. Canton has not been impressive in earlier Skodas if you read discussion threads.
If a ca is under reporting distance wouldnt that mean the wh/km that the car reports is actually lower since it thinks its gone less distance than it actually has for the energy its used? And the opposite for if the car is over reporting distance? It probably wouldnt make a huge difference but i wonder if its a possibility as to why Teslas efficiency is a little higher and others that under report are slightly higher
Pretty sure you can't (at least in Germany). The Coupé is only available as RS (from 61550€) and includes the "Crystal Face".. (but not electric or heated seats, 360 cam, USB in the back, Lane-Keep, ... that's extra..)
@@mr.wizeguy8995 Performance models are less efficient. E.g. there are 2 motors, which reduce efficiency. Weight is a big higher. Tires are more performance oriented (bigger, more rolling resistance), which are less efficient. Just look at Model 3/Y Performance versions and non-performance versions. This is a performance model.
Answer: Id.5 because is much cheaper! Starting price 49 590 EUR (52 000 EUR with better equip.) vs. 60 090 EUR as there is just one trim = RS that I do not need.
I actually think the colour is a little plain. I’d go for a mirrored gold wrap I think and maybe an actual chandelier hanging from the rearview mirror.
Chandelier? Is this a Merc or what? No if you want to go bold then the only option is Vantablack + darkened windows + the illuminated grille. You will open a black hole to a new dimension and all others on the road will get sucked into it.
@@evboy4287 The objective is to be noticed though, not to risk being creamed by a juggernaut that can't see you in the dark. Unfortunately vanta black kinda defeats the purpose. I can definitely see Bjorn in a vibrant purple metallic edition though.
Illuminated grills, the car industry has once again lobbyed for this to be allowed in traffic. It may look cool, but in addition to all the illuminated advertising and traffic signs and the usual vehicle lighting, this means even more light or light smog with such grills, which should actually be avoided.
I'd go for the black grill. Looks better IMHO. Edit: oh, it looks like the Crystal Face grill is standard on the RS and can't be changed. That's a pity.
its a sound level meter not a decibel meter, decibels can be a unit of many things as it is a unit for expressing the ratio between quantities, thanks for the review, looks like real competition for the Y
It's too slow to bear the VRS moniker and once you spec it up it's more expensive than the LR Model Y in the UK. Y is bigger faster, more fun, more luggage space, frunk, superchargers, netflix, better sound system, shall I go on? Sadly this car is good but doesnt make sense at this price range.
Enyaq all day long. The attention to detail and cabin quality of Skoda makes VW look silly. Now, if only Skoda could be persuaded to do their version of an ID.3...
@@theseb1979 sure but Skoda was usually the segment with more space/practicality for the same price than the sister brands. I don't see much room for a distinct Skoda ID3
The VW GTX versions (that are competing with the vRS) also have similar uplifted interiors with the leather inlays and better seats etc. Don’t get me wrong though, I love this Škoda coupe.
Skoda Enyaq is really great design inside and out, has no shitty touch controls on the steering wheel and price/perf ratio is better than other VW EVs
The effiecnty is almost Tesla efficenty, also the car is very spacious and looks nice, good job Skoda
The fact that Skoda didn't include touch controls in the steering wheel makes it instantly better. Maybe that partly explains the 12-14 month lead time on these :/ Keep up the good work Bjørn!

More like 2 Years as basically no Vendor has a Quote left for Orders.
Fully agree with you on that.

Best looking EV out rn, especially in that colour. Love it.
Greetings Björn, for me it is clearly Škoda Enyaq and you pronounce Škoda beautifully, almost like here in the Czech Republic 👍like a ninja 😂
Very impressive and very competitive to Tesla Model Y. There are some nice features like 2 displays etc. which we are missing in Model Y. Very nice test like always from Bjorn 👍
This looks quite a bit smaller than the Model Y, how does it compare in size?
@@jasonfranciosa Model Y is 100mm longer , 42mm wider and 17mm higher . So is Model Y much bigger ? 🤔 You seem to have very sharp eyes 😏
The screen reactivity seems unfortunately so slow in comparison with tesla
@@SuperCharloux Thanks👍.Nice to know it , cuz I've already ordered my Model Y 😋
It looks like a spiffed up model y. I like it even though I presently drive a 2021 y performance.

In the UK it will be badged as the VRS Coupe - also Mamba Green will be Hyper Green ! I should know, I have one on order…😀
2:50 it’s RS in Europe. it’s VRS in the UK (because of Ford’s trademark).
Love it. Except the Infotainment/Software. Legacy Automakers really need to work on that
@@Psi-Storm they are now at about 5600 people.
I would choose the skoda. I drive de Enyaq IV 60 and find it the best car I drove so far.
I would love to see a 1000 km challance with the enyaq 60.
I would Go for the id5. There are some good Features/gimmicks but i like the Digital tacho attached on the steering better and to not be able close the roof is a nogo :)

bad soldering somewhere if it varies with temperature...
How is the Canton sound system over all? Nice bass? I have a Renault Kadjar with Bose system. I have a Skoda Enyaq on order and opted for the Canton.

Very nice and good on range. Yes, it’s a shame the Speedo is small, but that’s not a dealbreaker! Good test.

very good results and I like the coupe much better than the basic Enyaq
06:38 fifty shades of .... what??? 😂😂😂
I laughed out loud 😂
Great specs, color and looks great both in and outside, great video!
I think if the car stereo is in "phone mode" for example active phone call it cuts some bass, and maybe only use the "center" speaker.
Can't wait to receive mine. Now even more! Had to order it in this color! :) thanks for this test and review!
3:41 Bjørn ‘ that is quite deep. That ‘s what she said’ xD Keep it up, Bjørn!
Just curious how it performs in Nordic winters. Driving between country and city daily, how would it manage.

TOP Result. Not able to tell my preference
Definitely the Skoda… like that grill.
That’s an impressive drag coefficient…. Nearly the same as Model 3! Or is M3 0.21 and Model Y 0.23?

Yes, of course.
Unfortunately the Canton sound system is pretty mediocre. I have the same vibration and rattling in my Superb. Hopefully Skoda will eventually upgrade this long standing problem.
Wow. Its a modely Y with traditional interior. Loved it
Hey Bjorn, in Your test is missing Audi Q4 50 Sportback maybe you should tested? then you would have all the models of the Volkswagen MQB 👍
Great video as always. Are you using the optional canton audio system in this car? Or is it the standard audio system?
Thanks Jordy
This is the Canton Audio System. You see it in the equalizer screen at 8:56
Dude that car is so nice! Most attractive car ever
In France the Canton audio system is optional. Is the model tested with the option?
The rattling can come from some object you had in the door box? My parking slip usually rattles when placed suitably. Canton has not been impressive in earlier Skodas if you read discussion threads.
Door pocket was empty.
Skoda Enyaq Coupe RS is on my shopping list :)
Figures about lake Mjøsa. It is 89.7 km long and 449 m deep. Due to the curvature of the Earth, it is 158 m higher on the middle than at each end.
Yo, Bjorn! Name of the song at 11:00? Didn't find it in your playlist under the video description. Kudos for another great video! :D
Skoda is so much more premium feel than VW
I don't have to decide anymore, I've already done that. Skoda Enyaq Coupe RS in Race Blue
Sir, which is this variant? seems to have exact things which I would love to have ;)
The roof without the retractible canvas is so annoying in dark when street lamps are on. They should put epilepsy warnings on that :D
Or when the heat wave is strong... I can't believe electrochromic glass isn't everywhere yet.
Which one would you buy VRS or L&K?
Nice looking car and awsome interior!
Bjørn, I miss the Espa buns 😔
Everytime i see the thumbnail with this bmw, then ohh i read it's called skoda :O
Skoda enyaq coupé for ever.
I wish the Tesla logo in the front / back lit up at night
Thanks for fantastic video again.

I normally do not like SUV Coupés but I kinda like this one. Would definitely get it without that grille though.
Pretty sure you can't (at least in Germany). The Coupé is only available as RS (from 61550€) and includes the "Crystal Face".. (but not electric or heated seats, 360 cam, USB in the back, Lane-Keep, ... that's extra..)
" 'barely legal' is my middle name" - classic Bjorn
I have blue Skoda Enyaq Coupe RS. I have Tesla X too, but Enyaq is better for me!
Fantastic Car
I love the "You like this shit?" moments haha.
Heavier? AWD maybe?
Yes, the RS is AWD and therefor heavier
Which cars disengages “autopilot” when you don’t touch the steering wheel?
Beautiful car beautiful colour ID5 go home design for Skoda it’s amazing
It's-19 outside. Norwegian summer I guess!
If I could I think I would choose this over the Q4 edition 1 I have
Lit grille Illegal in UK?
Nice looking car. VAG makes really nice EV`s. Color is awesome! I am Mercedes guy and I cant go VAG so I ordered Model Y xD
I like that shit! :) Still waiting for the octavia class electric model though.
The look from the rear seemed very much like a Model 3.
That plexiglass grill will probably look very bad in a couple of months
Put LLumar PPF on it. Problem solved.
@Björn Nyland
Is the Crystal Face Light on during drving in the dark?
Yes
@@bjornnyland okay thanks, the hole crystal face or only the middle horizontal line?
Hopefully Skoda will fix the sound system.
This or Model Y? Tough decision.
What is the mobile app used by Bjorn?
Nice car, but why the heck is driver’s display only 5 inches small?
Will you test the non-RS version? That is probably even more efficient.
Dunno what you mean but electric motor kW doesn't affect efficiency barely at all when you cruise at same speed.
@@mr.wizeguy8995 Performance models are less efficient. E.g. there are 2 motors, which reduce efficiency. Weight is a big higher. Tires are more performance oriented (bigger, more rolling resistance), which are less efficient.

The grill looks nice, but…
Who the fuck needs that?!
You said; the arctic circle song???
i know the instrument cluster is the same size as as on the other ID cars but why does it look so small here. Skoda you got so much of this car right
Answer: Id.5 because is much cheaper! Starting price 49 590 EUR (52 000 EUR with better equip.) vs. 60 090 EUR as there is just one trim = RS that I do not need.
In Belgium there are different trims, starts at 49290 euro for the small battery (58 kWh) and 54890 for the bigger one (77 kWh). 21% VAT in Belgium
You’re the only one puts in these hours, Bjorn. We bow down before our Lord guinea pig.
I guess this Card hab the Canton Soundsystem?
did you just actually said 50 shades of gay ? Legend.
Great looking car! It seems like all the EV's I would want to own from companies like Skoda, BYD, Nio, etc. are just not available in the US.
Because here in North America they want you to spend $60k+ or otherwise get garbage.
