After weighing my options and having shortlisted Enyaq and ID.4, I decided to bite the bullet and place an order today.

Colour

- Moon White Metallic

Wheels

- 20” ‘Vega’ anthracite alloy wheels

Packs

- Driver assistance plus pack

- Climate plus pack

- Comfort pack Plus

- Convenience plus pack

- Drive sport pack

- Infotainment plus pack

Safety and Driver Assistance

Rear curtain airbags

Functional Items

Panoramic sunroof

Heat pump

 

I have until Wednesday if I change my mind and want to add/remove something. Apparently, the lead times have improved somewhat so I might get my car by March/April

 

My current car is a 2018 Superb SportLine, 2.0 L, TSI, 280 hp, 4x4 and I will totally miss myCanton sound system. The audio on teh Enyaq is very average whereas the Superb was exceptional there. The SportLine is the best car I ever drove TBH (probably one of the few of such spec in Ireland) but it's going to be traded in against a new Enyaq

Hi Dubincalling,

 

I have ordered something similar, but in Quartz grey metallic and I decided against the Drive sport pack, Infotainment plus pack, Rear curtain airbags & Panoramic sunroof. But went for Transport package, Family package & 125kw charging.

 

I test drove 2 Enyaq's one with the drive sport package and on without, I couldn't notice the difference in the short time I drove it approx 30 minutes, also the same with the  Infotainment plus pack I thought it was a bit of a gimmick for around £700, I have a panoramic sunroof on my current car which I have had 2 years and I can count the number of times I have used it on one hand.

 

The upgraded sound system option is apparently going to be available early 2022

Thanks @chopper85
ID.4 already has a better sound system.
We have a panoramic sunroof in the current SportLine and the family love it (opens a few times year in reflection and probably incrases drag signifficantly but it brings in additional sense of light.
the rear airbags ordered TBH just for a sense of safety for family in teh back. In Ireland, the Family pack is not available on teh SportLine so I guess teh kids will be charging their phones from either a battery pack or I need to get 2 cables from the boot!

When did you order/what is the lead time

I'm doing the exact same swap, from a 280 superb sportline to and enyaq sportline.

I like the extra light the Sunroof gives in the superb, but I chose not to go for it in the Enyaq. I went for the crystal face as its a bit different.

The only one of those packs I did not go for myself was the drive sport pack as I'm not fussed by the dcc suspension. I did go for the family pack though as rear usbs should have been standard.

 

I looked a the id4 as well, but the spec I would have gone for only came with the brown dash, which is horrible.

 

It should be quicker than April, but I suppose it would depend on the allocation Ireland gets and the order books.

I ordered mine at the start of September and I was told to expect February (20 weeks). It's now due to be built in 2 weeks time so if it all goes well, I should be picking it up just before Christmas.

Ordered mine September 10th, was initially told not to expect it until March 2022, but last time I spoke to the dealership they said my build week was Week 44 and to expect it before Christmas.

I also test drove the ID4 (always drove VW's) but I wasn't fussed on the look and the controls for the lights, steering wheel and entertainment where all touch which put me right off.

Also test drove the Audi Q4 eTron which was really nice but the spec I wanted which is similar to the Enyaq was nearly £60k, 11k more than the Enyaq.

i think if i was spending  £49k, i'd have went with a kia ev6, looks a lot better imo and 7 year warranty 

Different strokes for different folks.

Different needs and wants and looks are in the eye of the beholder.

Interesting to know. We ordered ours on 18 August, and the dealer apparently still has no build date. I need to chase them, clearly!

Wouldn't be surprised if its on its way!
