What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Shared watch-outs for both cars
Owners of every car here flag real-world range. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
Kia EV6
Air 77.4kWh
Owners love
- Very fast rapid charging, with owners regularly seeing 200 kW or more on ultra-rapid chargers
- Comfortable, quiet and refined on long journeys
- Distinctive design that owners still like years on
Watch out for
- Failures of the ICCU (the unit that charges the 12V battery) are the biggest theme, covered by a UK recall, sometimes with long waits for parts
- 12V battery problems, often linked to the ICCU, can leave the car unable to start
- Mixed experiences of Kia dealers, with slow parts and patchy communication
Owner tips
- Check the ICCU recall has been done and ask whether the unit was replaced
- Ask whether the 12V battery has been tested or replaced
Skoda Enyaq
SE L 60
Owners love
- Excellent practicality with spacious 585-litre boot and family-friendly interior design ideal for transporting cargo, pets, and passengers
- Outstanding real-world efficiency delivering 3-3.9 miles per kWh and 220-270 mile range even in winter conditions
- High-quality build with well-finished interior materials, soft-touch surfaces, and refined, quiet driving experience
Watch out for
- Rapid depreciation with young used EVs (1-2 years old) selling for 30-40% less than new list prices, making new purchases poor value
- Real-world range significantly lower than manufacturer WLTP claims (165-220 miles actual versus 250+ miles advertised), with cold weather reducing range by 25-30%
- Confusing option pack structure with excessive paid extras (rear side airbags, heating, fast charging, rear camera) that should be standard safety or convenience items
Owner tips
- Buy 1-2 year old Enyaq from non-approved dealers to save £2,000-3,000 while retaining full manufacturer warranty coverage
- Specify heat pump and fast charging (100/125kW) options when ordering new, as they significantly impact real-world satisfaction and hold value poorly used

Frequently asked questions
Is the Kia EV6 worth the extra £1,885 over the Skoda Enyaq?
The Kia EV6 costs £1,885 more than the Skoda Enyaq. For that premium it adds 59 miles more WLTP range and 74 kW faster peak rapid charging. The Skoda Enyaq is not just cheaper - it also offers 95 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Kia EV6 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Kia EV6 or the Skoda Enyaq?
The Skoda Enyaq is £1,885 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £160 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Skoda Enyaq comes out roughly £1,885 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Kia EV6 and Skoda Enyaq like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 273 miles for the Kia EV6 and 224 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Kia EV6 goes roughly 49 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 18-24 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Kia EV6 or the Skoda Enyaq?
The two are within 1 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq and about 520 mm of total clearance for the Kia EV6. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 2.3 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
Which battery will hold up better as a used buy, the Kia EV6 or the Skoda Enyaq?
Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 89% battery health for the Kia EV6 and 84% for the Skoda Enyaq. That gives the Kia EV6 a modest edge in retained real-world range. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. The Skoda Enyaq has the longer battery warranty at 8 years, versus 7 for the Kia EV6.
