Skoda Enyaq iV Coupe review

It's standard Skoda fare inside the car, though with a bit of added glamour for this 'sporty' Coupe version of the Enyaq. 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 litres), and there’s only a small difference in rear headroom thanks to the panoramic glass roof, which comes as standard.

What’s the tech like?

Behind the steering wheel is a small 5.4in digital instrument panel which displays speed, charge and the status of the adaptive cruise control, 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, but can be irritating. 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 to change volume rather than the unlit touch-sensitive slider underneath the screen, for instance.

Oh, and it’s easy to unlock the doors or turn on the hazard lights by mistake if the cupholders are full and someone’s trying to reach their phone in the wireless charging tray.

There’s no apparent logic to the physical buttons 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 when they could easily have buttons.

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.

FYI, that 570-litre boot (1,610 litres with the seats folded) is bigger than you get in the Audi Q4 Sportback e-tron and VW ID.5.
