As the title says. I am in the process of getting a new car for myself and I am a bit torn about these two. 

A bit of background. I live in Denmark and we pay a huge premium on registration fees, but electric cars do get a break for this. 

This means that the 2 options I am looking at with all the extras I would like come to about the same, the Enyaq might actually be a little bit cheaper, but not by much. 

The advantage with the Enyaq is that it comes with 5 years of service and fixing, where that is something you have to pay on the side for the Octavia, so on running costs the Enyaq is clearly ahead. 

I live in a flat and currently there are no charging stations near by (closest quick charge is about 10km away), but there are charging ports at my work. 

My daily driving (after Corona) will be about 60km (30km each way) commute in total. Then a couple of 100km trips a month and every once in a while a 600km freeway round trip to visit some friends across the country. 

My biggest worry point is my vacation where I normally like to do road trips, and the last couple of years those have been on about 1000km a day getting from my home to where ever I want to be and then day trips from there. 

 

The Octavia should be deliverable around week 42 while the Enyaq seems to be an early 2022 type deal. 

 

Any insights will be much appreciated. 

Welcome.

 

An Enyaq might suit you well. 

Even possible to do 1,000 km in around 10 hours if needed anytime. 

 

 

 

Thanks. That was a very informative video and nice to see a real world drive and not just reviewers testing it.
