Is Skoda Enyaq's software bad as people claim?
06 January 2025 10:23
The software itself I don't mind that much. It’s not perfect, but it works. I don’t mind the built in system too much, since I use Android Auto most of the time anyway.

I think the software issues are overblown. Sure, it’s got some quirks, but it’s not like the car is unusable. People just can’t help but complain online.

As a tech worker, the Enyaq's software is embarrassingly bad. It's clear that Skoda (or VW Group, more generally) is struggling to make the transition into the age of the software defined vehicle.
What is the Enyaq’s real world range compared to official figures?
06 January 2025 10:23
The range on my Enyaq 80 has been a pleasant surprise. I can easily get 280-300 miles on a charge in summer with mostly highway driving. It's not quite the 331 miles that it is officially, but it's close enough for me.

It's good range, but don't expect to hit the WLTP numbers. I have the 60 version and I will get about 200-220 miles of mixed driving. With the heater on it drops to around 170-180 in the winter.

The Enyaq’s range anxiety is real, especially on long trips. I'm constantly watching the range estimate and changing my driving to meet the range estimate. Driving an ICE car is not as carefree.

I believe people need to be a little more realistic about EV range in general. At its price point, the Enyaq shines in terms of range. If you need more, you will have to pay a lot more for a Tesla or something like it.

For daily driving the range is fine, but it’s the inconsistency that bugs me. I’ll get great range sometimes and other times it will drop much faster than you’d expect. It tends to make planning longer trips a bit stressful.

I’ve found that style of driving makes a huge difference. With gentle accelerator use and eco mode, I can get pretty close to the official figures. Who wants to drive like that all the time?

The Enyaq's range feels like luxury coming from a Nissan Leaf. For my normal commute I can go a week without charging. The perspective is everything, and how you use the car.
Can the Skoda Elroq's interior tech and features give more premium EVs a run for their money?

The tech lineup is impressive, and that AR heads up display is what impresses me. Skoda is stepping up their game, and it’s great to see. So let’s be real, at the end of the day, it’s all about the software experience. All that fancy hardware won’t mean much if it’s laggy or unintuitive.

As a tech enthusiast though, I’m more interested in how often Skoda plans to update the software. The car feels fresh because Tesla is updating it constantly. Will Skoda commit to long term software support?

Nice touch with the sustainable materials, but don't know how durable will be. Will the recycled upholstery stand up to the test as well as traditional materials? Eco bragging rights don’t matter as much as practicality.

You're all looking at the wrong things. The real question is how well all this tech works with our everyday lives. Does it simply integrate with our phones? How's the voice control? The user experience will be made or broken by that.

In fact, I'm relieved that Skoda isn't going overboard with the tech. Not all want a spaceship dashboard. Sometimes simple and functional is good, especially for us who do not know about technology.

It's nice to have the 13 inch screen, but 13 inches is becoming the bare minimum these days. What I’m actually more interested in are unique features. What does it have that is unique and innovative?

I’ve test driven a lot of EVs and it’s not about the biggest screens or most features, it’s about what you need. It's about how well they all fit together. But if Skoda can get the user experience right, they've got a winner.
How will the Skoda Elroq’s performance and handling stack up against sportier electric SUVs?
06 January 2025 10:18
Not every EV needs to be a rocket ship, look. For what it is – a practical family SUV – the Elroq’s performance sounds perfectly fine. Not everyone is out trying to set lap records on their grocery run.

06 January 2025 10:18
I don't know, man. Once you’ve felt the instant torque of a performance EV, it’s not a simple thing to go back. Those used to sportier options may find the Elroq a little bit underwhelming.

I think Skoda made the right call here as someone who has owned both 'regular' and performance EVs. Instead of trying to win a numbers game they can’t compete in, focus on efficiency and range.
