Hello to all, just joined as I'm thinking of getting an EV as my next car, even though this is likely to be just under 2 years away.

Very interested in the Enyaq as I've currently got a Kodiaq Sportline with the 2.0TDI engine, which I love. Sadly Kodiaq have no intention of introducing a hybrid Kodiaq iV, so I'm coming round to the idea of a full EV as my next car, but would prefer something similar in size to the Kodiaq.

I've been on the configurator and specced up a top-spec Enyaq 80 Ecosuite with pretty much all the options available and it comes at just a smidge under £50k, which is quite a lot for a Skoda, but then the list price on my Kodiaq was only just shy of £45k, so suppose it's reasonable.

Interested to hear of actual ownership issues and likes/dislikes once people actually get their cars, so will be watching with interest!

Also very interested in the promised Enyaq vRS as I'd much rather have a 4x4 than a 4x2.

The only surprise I've noted thus far is that the Enyaq is fitted with drum brakes on the rear! Really? In this day and age? Is that an EV thing related to regeneration of the batteries? Guess it might be, but seems like Skoda have stepped back to the 1960s with braking technology! Can't remember the last car I drove with drum brakes, but probably my sister's 1967 Morris Minor, although that has drum brakes front and rear, so you really need to plan your braking if you're approaching a red light, especially downhill!! Can't remember, but possibly my Mk1 Astra might have had rear drums, but I didn't have it long so can't remember.
