Assisted Drive ‘Plus’. It was only a few hundred pounds more than the Basic version I have - but information on what the Plus features actually include, were very ambiguous a year ago. I thought it just stopped the car automatically and flashed the hazards, if the driver becomes unresponsive. Turns out it has an excellent auto-steering feature, not included in the Basic version. Doh!

That’s probably the only one. Oh and maybe Silver or Artic Silver instead of Black.

In terms of other features I’m a bit envious of in others’ Enyaqs - but I had no budget for (when I upgraded from a 60 to an 80) - I think Matrix lights (but not the illuminated front grill ) and the Suite interior. I have Loft - which is really comfortable and looks great ‘brand new’ - but is already showing its vulnerability to clumsy, thoughtless passengers who leave water bottles leaking all over the seats. For example!

Goaty, I agree the Assisted Drive is the one of the best packages to add on a limited budget. We also only ordered the Assisted drive basic and as you mentioned, at the time of ordering it was a bit ambiguous what it actually included. However our car has the lane assit, which keeps you in the centre of lane if there are white lines, and also follows corners, does this mean we probably some how ended up with the Plus pack?

Very pleased with my options (Suite, Sunroof & 20" Wheels) but that's all I could afford via our company car scheme.
I really would have liked 125kw charging (just for the few times / year we go on hols), Keyless Entry, Remote Boot opening, Family package basic and a heated screen.
I really don't like the way they do options "Packages". Much rather pick things individually.
Enyaq 80 Suite, Race Blue, Panoramic Sunroof, 20" Vega Alloys and a silly overpriced rubber mat for the boot.

@tomm636 - I ‘think’ all Enyaqs have Lane Assist - where it attempts to prevent you from crossing the line and going over to the oncoming lane. And it does that quite well in some places I’ve noticed, with quite a smooth and natural ‘take over’ of the steering. Also does this on large bends quite well but the ‘plus’ version is even better; much more like auto-pilot. I definitely don’t have Plus functionality but I’m hoping that it may be a purchasable upgrade one day. I think this forum has concluded that Assisted Drive Basic cars from 2021 have the hardware for plus - just not the software. Some people have hacked the code and activated ‘plus’ functionality, but I’m not keen on messing around with that.


@metalmadmammer - I have the heated windscreen and only used it once last winter. I found that pre-heating the car defrosted the windscreen anyway, and almost as quickly as the dedicated windscreen heater does - so I stopped using it. So you’re not missing much by not having it, in my opinion.

Knowing all we know now about the Assisted Drive Plus, I would’ve no doubt opted for it over the Basic. In terms of what I ‘regret’ getting, I would’ve ditched the iV Universal (granny cable) £600 option my work fleet lease company convinced me to order during the consultation - cheaper to get it elsewhere, the difference would’ve paid for the Assisted Drive Plus with change.

What it's in the plus that the assisted drive basic doesn't have that you think it's useful?

Not a great deal in all fairness, but as I mentioned, not opting for the ŠKODA Granny charger would’ve left a lot more to my budget to potentially go for AD+ and probably Comfort Seat Plus.

IC.. Btw, what's this "intelligent parking+" pack. Is this the Packing package plus? Didn't remember it was called intelligent before.
