Skoda Enyaq Coupe review

It's standard Skoda fare inside the car, though with a bit of added glamour for this 'sporty' Coupe. You get the usual array of Simply Clever touches, which includes the umbrella in the driver's door and ice scraper squirrelled away in the tailgate.

Skoda insists that practicality hasn’t been harmed by the swoopy roofline – the boot is a mere 15 litres smaller (570 litres plays 585), and there’s only a small difference in rear headroom thanks to the panoramic glass roof, which comes as standard. Generous.

What’s the tech like?

Behind the steering wheel is a small 5in digital instrument panel which displays speed, charge, trip and adaptive cruise control info (not all at once), which is simple and clear to read. But the graphics aren't as slick as we've seen in rival cars. 

In the centre of the dash lies the 13in touchscreen that mostly works well. At the top of the screen sits a row of customisable shortcuts (two taps is all it takes to turn off the pesky speed limit assist), while quick access to the climate controls/heated seats is via a permanently displayed band that runs across the bottom.

The Enyaq is the least affected by the VW Group’s weird obsession with touchscreen controls, but you’ll still prefer to use the steering wheel buttons/scrollers to change volume rather than the touch sensitive slider underneath the screen, for instance.

It does get a few physical buttons, but there’s no apparent logic to those that Skoda has opted to keep: no direct climate controls, but rather a shortcut button that takes you to the right touchscreen sub-menu, as well as routes through to the safety assistance menus and parking help. Too many functions need you to delve into the touchscreen, if you ask us.

Do you get a frunk?

Nope, but you do get a compartment under the boot floor to pop in any storage cables or some side storage behind the rear wheels, which means you don’t have to completely empty the boot to get at them. Though we’d have liked to see the storage net that sits under the parcel shelf in the Elroq.

Still, that boot (1,610 litres with the seats folded) is bigger than you get in the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron and VW ID.5. And good going for a Coupe.
