Hi Everyone,

My name is Tish I live in the UK and I have just placed my order this afternoon - now to wait approx 54 weeks 

This is my first EV and I'm currently driving a 69 reg Skoda Karoq SE L 1.5 DSG - I got this brand new where 70% of my options were there but it wasn't my order so I settled for less as i was moving up from an old 13 Fabia, I decided I wanted to make sure everything I needed and wanted was included in this Enyaq   .

These are the packs & options I've added:

• Comfort seat pack basic

• Light and view pack basic

• Drive sport pack basic

• Parking pack basic

• Family pack plus

• Climate pack plus

• Convenience pack plus

• Infotainment pack plus

• Assisted drive pack plus (without blind spot detection - has been removed)

• 19" Regulus Anthracite metallic alloy wheels

 

I will be getting the following accessories fitted by the dealer when the car has been delivered

• Mud flaps front

• Mud flaps rear

• All weather floor mats - grey inscription

Anyone else gone all out with their packs  

Hi, sounds like a nice car when it is eventually built.

I got a car from Skoda stock last year so it was already built. The only packs it had was, chrome, 20” wheels, Light and View and Suite interior.

I definitely wouldn’t have ordered light and view if I’d specced the car myself, but 12,000 miles later I have to admit the matrix led headlight system is really good.

Enjoy, when you get it.

Yeah 😄 I will enjoy it when it eventually arrives lol.

 

I'm not in a rush per say for a new vehicle I'm just taking advantage of being able to swap and my monthly costs are a bit cheaper when you factor in insurance, fuel and monthly cost.

 

Ideally would like it before my car reaches 3 years but that's in October 2022 so I don't think the car will be built and shipped by then. Oh well.

 

I wasn't really fuased about thw headlights but when I learnt about it I was sold seems like a solid feature to be fair.

I ended up cancelling, ive just placed order for skoda karoq phoenix orange sportline

Oh no! Such a shame. What's the lead time on the Karoq?

I ended up cancelling it about 1 week before it arrived, it wasnt about the wait times i think it was only around 9 months for the enyaq. But i decided i have been wfh for about 3 years, i barely do 5,000 miles i couldn't justify having an electric with the premium being so high. I'd rather wait until 2030 where all manufactuers in the UK can only make new model cars of EVs, the price should come down as the market becomes a lot more saturated. 

 

I've got my moon white sportline karoq arriving in the next 2 weeks, i currently have a 2019 SEL karoq so largely similiar but actually my monthly payments are a bit cheaper this time round.

The lead time on new karoqs are 38 weeks, around 8 months, i really wanted a new deal mainly to take advantage of the £500 fuel card offer and my current lease expires in 7 months so whilst my car valued highly just better to make the switch asap haha.

@SkodaTishDo you know the spec of MY24 Karoq's?

Im not sure, ive now changed my order, to a new moon white due to arrive within the next week or 2. I assume its the same spec as nay orders placed now?

 

Is this a Motability car?

im surprised that you didn’t go for the Enyaq, 5,000 miles in an ev will be much, much cheaper than any ICE car, especially with a home charger

no it’s not a mobility car

considering how little I drive I’d rather not pay the premium for EVs, come 2030 in the UK the market will be so saturated the price of the Enyaq will replace the Skoda karoqs, there will be an EV for every Skoda current model I’d rather wait a few more years and enjoy my Sportline for cheaper price. 

£3,999-£5,299 advance payment for an Enyaq from Motability this quarter then at least £12,000 over the next 3 years lease is quite a lot and yes you save on fuel if you have home charging and cheap tariff. 

But £16,000 over 3 year near £14.60 a day to have that EV sitting at your house.  (That is the insurance, VED & servicing covered.)

 

A Renault Megane e-Tech EV60 160kW Iconic 60kWh Optimum Charge 5 door is £1,295 Advance Payment & a 'Techno' is £2,495. 

 

A Skoda Karoq Auto Starts @ 1,795 Advance Payment.

A Skoda Kodiaq Auto @2,995 Advance payment.

A Seat Ateca Auto starts @ £1,249 Advance Payment.

A VW Taigo auto £799

A VW T-Cross auto £1,099

A VW T-Roc auto £1,649

A VW Tiguan £1,699

 

PS

Many with cars already from Motability and ordering a new one will get a £750 contribution which can be paid direct to the Dealership towards the Advance Payment.

I’m not entirely sure what the point of this message was as I’ve already ordered my car lol

@SkodaTish the point was kind of for anyone that might be considering a Enayq leased from Motability or interested in the Motability Scheme cars having read @Warkman's post. 

 

They are quite expensive to lease even when saving on buying liquid fuel. 

 

PS

I went to check out again a Megane EV as a very good price with Motability for a 60 kWh battery.

As i thought when i drove one before, sadly far too cramped for me driving compared to an Enyaq.
