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 infotainment & software, real-world range. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
Nissan ARIYA
Engage+ 63kWh
Owners love
- Owners praise the quiet, roomy cabin, the comfortable seats and the interior design.
- The 87 kWh cars give a long range in mild weather, with owners reporting around 280-300 miles.
- Owners who tow find it capable, and the head-up display and 360-degree camera are well liked.
Watch out for
- The infotainment and navigation feel slow and dated, with touch-sensitive buttons that are easy to brush by accident.
- Several owners report 12-volt battery problems, sometimes within the first months.
- Winter range drops noticeably, with one 87 kWh owner seeing the estimate fall from about 330 to 220-230 miles.
Owner tips
- Ask whether the 12-volt battery has been replaced, and consider a cheap 12-volt monitor.
- Use the battery percentage rather than the range estimate, which is unreliable for the first few charges and in winter.
Skoda Enyaq
iV 60
Owners love
- Spacious, comfortable cabin and a big boot that suits families, dogs and bulky kit
- Very low running costs, with owners commonly seeing 3-4 miles per kWh in mild weather
- Well built, with interior materials owners rate above its VW group siblings
Watch out for
- Real-world range falls well short of the official figure, and cold weather takes a further 25-30% off
- Many features were paid options, so two cars of the same year and badge can be very differently equipped
- Faster DC charging was a paid option on early cars, so some 2021-era cars rapid-charge at only 50 kW
Owner tips
- Check the factory specification certificate in the Skoda app (or with a dealer) to see which DC charging rate and options a car left the factory with
- Confirm a heat pump by the refrigerant label under the bonnet (R744 means heat pump, R1234yf means none)
