Our opinion

The Škoda Enyaq iV 60 is a practical, family-focused electric SUV. It balances comfort, space, and technology without aiming to impress with sportiness or flashy design. Daily usability is its strength: it’s easy to park, drive, and charge. For buyers who prioritise reliability and straightforward EV ownership, it ticks most boxes. Range Accuracy & Ease of Charge The Enyaq 60 offers a real-world range of roughly 220–250 miles depending on conditions. AC charging at home is simple and standard; DC fast charging can get you from 10% to 80% in about 35–40 minutes when conditions are right. Range estimation is generally accurate, with few surprises in typical mixed driving. Space & Practicality Interior space is generous, especially for rear passengers and luggage. The boot is large and square, making it easy to load everyday items. Storage solutions are practical, including door bins, underfloor compartments, and cupholders. Rear legroom is comfortable, though taller adults may find headroom slightly limited due to the sloping roofline. Driving & Handling Driving is smooth and relaxed. Suspension absorbs bumps well, prioritising comfort over sportiness. Steering is light, and body roll is noticeable in quick corners, so don’t expect engaging handling. Acceleration is adequate for city and highway driving, but it won’t impress enthusiasts. Ease of Use (Controls & Infotainment) Most functions are handled via the central touchscreen, including climate and infotainment, with only a few physical shortcuts. Menus are logical but can feel busy. Voice control works well for navigation and media. Overall, the cabin is intuitive, though some drivers may miss more physical buttons. Bottom line The Enyaq iV 60 is a sensible, comfortable, and practical EV for families and commuters. It won’t excite with sporty driving or flashy interiors, but it makes EV ownership simple and stress-free. Solid range, easy charging, and a roomy cabin make it a reliable choice for everyday life. Competitors & Alternatives Key rivals include the Volkswagen ID.4 (similar tech, slightly sportier drive), Hyundai Ioniq 5 (more futuristic design, faster charging), Kia EV6 (sportier handling, higher performance), Ford Mustang Mach-E (more engaging to drive), Peugeot e-3008 (comfortable but shorter range), BMW iX1 (premium feel but pricier), and MG Marvel R (budget-friendly EV SUV). Each offers slightly different strengths, so choose based on driving style, interior space, and charging needs.
