Steering wheel options on Enyaq

Featured Replies

Is anybody able to explain what functionality the different "multifunction steering wheel" options in the "Drive Package Basic" and "Drive Sport Package Basic" actually provide over and above what's included in the standard spec steering wheel, apart heated steering wheel and paddles for recuperation level selection (neither of which really interest me).  I can see from the description that one has a 2-spoke steering wheel and the other has a 3-spoke steering wheel, but I don't care how many spokes it has.  What I really want to know is whether either of these extra packages actually provide additional button / dial / toggle switch functionality on the steering wheel which is not included in the standard spec (eg. additional functionality for voice control, adaptive cruise control, speed limiter control, sat nav etc.).

I have the Drive Basic wheel (2-spoke with heating), as it’s standard in Sweden. As far as I know, the 3-spoke wheel in the Sport pack adds no extra functionality to the wheel itself, it’s just a different design. The Drive wheel has all the buttons I would ever need at least. 
 

What is the base wheel in UK spec vehicles?

I’m not really sure what exactly the base steering wheel spec includes in the UK (ie. if you don’t pay for one of the optional accessory packs). Whenever I look at pictures in the UK brochure, there’s always a disclaimer saying that the photos don’t necessarily reflect the UK spec!

I have drive basic, added because it is required for the driving assist packages. The heated steering wheel however, is nice in frosty conditions.

I presume that Skoda have and require  these combinations to simplify production but also think some later changes are simply commercially driven.

I got the package not for the 3 spoke wheel (although I do prefer it) but because it also comes with progressive steering.

How do you find the progressive steering, is it very noticeable?

I prefer the 3 spoke wheel.

We opted for the 3 spoke wheel, didnt realise it is heated, nice bonus as winter approaches.

I've not driven an Enyaq without it so hard to compare. I will say though that for a 2.5 tonne car, the steering is nice and light, and makes it very easy to manoeuvre at any speed. Coupled with the tight turning circle, steering around town is no problem at all.

Excellent thank you.

I'd second that. I don't know if our test drive ENYAQ also had the progressive steering but both that and our Sportline feel good and light when you want it, but not twitchy at high speeds at all.
