Enyaq 60 no more

[krisdelta]

It appears Skoda is no longer taking orders for the Enyaq 60, so in 12 months the buy-in for what was an excellent value family car has gone from £32.5k to £40.9k (this includes the now removed grant for cars less than £35k) that’s one hell of an uplift.

After 18 months with a 2013 leaf, I was ready to go all-in on electric for our main transport, but a 30% hike to the most financially accessible family car means we’re now looking at used X5 40e’s and Outlander PHEV’s

You’d never actually get one anyway, the lead times are insane.

Surely the MG ZS is the “most financially accessible” (whatever that means) family sized EV?

I suspect it might be a temporary withdrawal. VW just can’t build cars at the moment, so they’re do anything they can to streamline and simply their offering. For example, there is only one model of ID3 available at the moment.

I’d also imagine that if you are going to simplify your product lineup (even if temporarily), you’d choose to make that simplification synonymous with higher margin. It’s hardly as if it’s hard to currently fill order books.

It’s a large family car, a size up from the MGZ (which is great value, no doubt). The cheaper Enyaq was great value for the size - and the obvious one to pull, sadly.

If I were cynical, If they are not selling that many ICE vehicles, there is less need for them to sell EV's to bring their emissions average down, so why sell the cheap ones.

Do you really not understand what that means?

It’s a pretty strange way to say “cheapest” although the list price of a car has precious little to do with how “accessible” it is to most surely and I can’t remember seeing astonishingly good finance deals on an Enyaq 60.

VW ID3 or 4, CUPRA Born, Megane EV60 or SsangYong Korando e-Motion?

ETA: I think the SsangYong is even more accessible!

Apologies for my lack of clarity, 550 miles driven in 20 hours, I was short of words and couldn’t drum up “cheap” for some reason.. it was cheap, it is now not (in my book)

I was negotiating a deal for a 60 when the £2,500 grant got pulled. Stupidly, having seen Vauxhall adjust their prices to compensate, I expected ŠKODA to do the same. So my lack of action looks quite pricey now. Whoopsie and I was going to buy outright, rather than lease as the finance deals didn’t stack up. Vs the likely 3 year depreciation.

Cheers, will take a look at the SsangYong. ID3 is too small for family duties (replacing Touran)
