Skoda Enyaq iV Coupe review

Prices start from £46,440 for the entry-level 2WD 85 Edition variant, rising to £50,305 for the 4WD 85x SportLine Plus model, £53,240 for the 85 Laurin & Klement and £54,820 for the vRS range topper.

On lease, you’re looking at around £461, £511, £578 and £591 respectively, on a four-year agreement with a £10k down payment and 10,000 yearly mileage allowance, through Skoda’s own finance scheme.

Worth noting that the entry-level Enyaq SUV is available with a 58kWh battery and starting price of £38,970, whereas the Enyaq Coupe jumps straight in with the 77kWh battery. Like-for-like, you’re looking at a premium of about £2k for that coupe body shape.

In terms of its VW Group rivals, the Enyaq Coupe works out cheaper than the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron, but slightly more expensive than the VW ID.5.

What are the trims like?

The Enyaq Coupe comes very well equipped: the entry model gets 19in alloys, a full length fixed glass roof, LED matrix headlights, rear parking camera, tri-zone climate control and adaptive cruise control.

The SportLine Plus car throws in 20in alloys, front sports seats and upgraded steering, while the Laurin and Klement model gets posher interior trim, heated front and rear seats, head-up display and an upgraded sound system.

The range-topping vRS car has a fancy bodykit, lower suspension, 20in wheels and what Skoda calls the 'crystal face', a louche clear plastic grille rammed with LEDs that lights up like a Christmas tree (also standard on the L&K car).

Skoda's latest wheeze is that you can pick your specification and then you have a choice of optional 'Lounge trims' to upgrade the inside of the car (apart from on the SportLine model). There are various other extras you can go for, though it's a bit strange that a heat pump is a £1,025 option on a car this expensive. 

What's the best spec?

The entry-level single motor version is the pick of the bunch here, thanks to its price, perfectly adequate performance figures, and, most importantly of all, greatest range.

As ever with coupeified crossovers, it sacrifices a little headroom and bootspace in favour of style compared with its full-size SUV sibling, and asks for a little extra in price. Our advice unless you’re truly hankering after that coupe shape? Do yourself a favour and get yourself the regular SUV.
