trying to narrow down a ...not a long list to just maybe 3.

Its a skoda enyaq edition, a Pug e 3008 and a dont know. The dont know was, an e tron and an ID 4.
Looked and watched quite a few comparison videos with the 3 VAG cars and the Enyaq wins.

So that was my number one choice BUT its a bugger getting the right spec due their pack options etc. Then I saw an e 3008. Looks nice the GT and comes with nearly everything I want.

Sensors + camera, L seats.... heated a +. Usual suspects. cruise /leds/folding mirrors and more.

Thought about an Ariya but the boot is smaller and I do want a decent boot. The car is to replace an Ateca.

I have a max of £25k and will need to fit a towbar.

So anyone been down this road and what did you end up with or........

Edit, my attention has also been drawn to the e scenic.....

Why not a tesla model Y AWD? It's a better car than any of those, bigger boot, much more room inside, a far better media and sound system, app is 10 years ahead, lighter than the id4 gtx, much quicker, more efficient, will be more reliable, better and longer warranty, can access every charge point in uk, and can tow up to 1600kg.

The audi arguably has a nicer more traditional interior, many prefer the sparse tesla one.

Enyaq is the best alternative, but the older models have a lower towing capacity and obviously comprimises in other areas.

Basically I dont want a car. hence the SUV ish looks to my sort of choices. The e tron is nice, a bit flash but just doesnt have the specs. I am going off the e 3008 now after having read about its heavy, wide and a harsh ride. Living in the back waters of Cornwall, I drive along a lot of lanes, scratches on the Ateca are a pita as it is, a wider vehicle....bugger. The Ariya could be too small a boot, then theres the new scenic e tech of which I have never seen one.

The Enyaq edition comes with a lot of spec and will tow the 750kg I occasionally need, (twice/three times monthly)
