Frequently asked questions
Is the VW ID.4 worth the extra £3,545 over the Skoda Enyaq?
The VW ID.4 costs £3,545 more than the Skoda Enyaq. For that premium it adds 103 miles more WLTP range, 45 kW faster peak rapid charging and 78 kW more power. The Skoda Enyaq is not just cheaper - it also offers 52 litres more boot space. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the VW ID.4 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Skoda Enyaq or the VW ID.4?
The Skoda Enyaq is £3,545 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £152 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 £3,465 cheaper overall. 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 VW ID.4 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 208 miles for the Skoda Enyaq and 293 miles for the VW ID.4 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The VW ID.4 goes roughly 86 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 24-29 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Skoda Enyaq or the VW ID.4?
The two are within 27 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 548 mm of total clearance for the VW ID.4 and about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 0.9 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
