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 firm ride comfort. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
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)
Tesla Model Y
RWD
Owners love
- Spacious interior with generous cargo capacity makes it practical for families, easily accommodating five passengers plus luggage
- Low running costs versus petrol and diesel, especially with home charging
- Outstanding Supercharger network makes long-distance travel effortless and enables trip planning comparable to petrol cars
Watch out for
- Depreciation concerns affect both purchase values and PCP lease terms as rapid model iterations reduce resale viability
- Autopilot struggles reliably with small roads, parked cars, junctions, and speed limit changes despite heavy marketing
- Harsh suspension ride remains problematic for some owners, though newer generation improvements are noticeable
Owner tips
- Consider a nearly new or pre-facelift car over new to limit depreciation
- Choose LFP battery models if available to avoid strict battery charging discipline and benefit from greater longevity

Frequently asked questions
Is the Tesla Model Y worth the extra £8,540 over the Skoda Enyaq?
The Tesla Model Y costs £8,540 more than the Skoda Enyaq. For that premium it adds 65 miles more WLTP range, 55 kW faster peak rapid charging and 269 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Tesla Model Y comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Skoda Enyaq or the Tesla Model Y?
The Skoda Enyaq is £8,540 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff.

These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Skoda Enyaq and Tesla Model Y like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 208 miles for the Skoda Enyaq and 251 miles for the Tesla Model Y - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Tesla Model Y goes roughly 43 miles further between charging stops.

The Skoda Enyaq is the easier car for tight UK car parks: it is 102 mm narrower than the Tesla Model Y. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq and about 419 mm of total clearance for the Tesla Model Y. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 2.8 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
