It came down to these two cars for me in my search for a suitable EV. The Enyaq won it for me for pretty much the reasons in the video, bigger boot space and a more family oriented vehicle for £10k less. Once I sat down and did a comparison in was a no-brainer. I get the Enyaq later this month. The Mustang Mach-E is a lovely looking car though and a lot of fun to drive!!

Thank you for your great videos and your comments. They really help. Just read the reason why they use drum brakes at the rear is corrosion because they corrode less than disc brakes. 😉 “Problems with braking components are typical of electric vehicles because, compared to combustion engines, they are used much less frequently and therefore corrode more frequently,” says TÜV association boss Joachim Bühler. Incidentally, this is the main reason why, for example, Volkswagen uses drum brakes instead of disc brakes on the rear axles of the ID series. - frandroid"

Great review as always Rory. Keep up the good work. 👊🏾

The entry level Enyaq is much more affordable than I thought it would be. Considering it’s an EV it’s actually looking like good value. It looks good too. Not sure I’m ready for an suv yet though…

At first it seemed so affordable that I thought there's got to be a catch somewhere. After watching dozens of reviews, it seems that there's very little compromise. The driver's cockpit is smaller than I'd like, though the touchscreen is the biggest in its class. The interior looks 98% as premium as an Audi. The boot is definitely the biggest in its class by a wide margin. All in all I find it hard to justify paying an extra 10 grand for the alternatives

Great review, Rory. I am amazed though, that EVERY review by ANYONE of ANY Skoda, seems to focus on the umbrella/scraper/ticket holder thing, which I think are good things BUT they are hardly IMPORTANT and worth picking out every time.. These items cost PENCE and the issues of handling performance and practicality/reliability such seem to be tagged on behind. Skodas are much more than a couple of bits of plastic, they are good, solid reliable cars, often much better than the VW/Seat/Audi derivatives and the dealers treat you as a person, and future customer, rather than a twit who has been fooled by the badge. More reviews like this please.

Quoted range for that car is 335 miles, so almost identical to the 336 miles that Skoda claim for the RWD Enyaq 80. Think the Enyaq 80 as driven would be around £42k in that colour with the brown leather and the 21" wheels, but without any other options. Not really comparing apples with apples.

Probably £42K - £44K. I was going to get an Enyaq as my company car but once you spec it up to something that is worth having (Leather, Bigger battery etc) it gets very expensive and on my company scheme an Enyaq like this is more than an ID4 and also a Q4 E-Tron! I ended up ordered a Q4 as an Audi for £50 a month less than an equivalent Skoda was too good a deal to turn down.

Another great review Rory. I’d rather watch you than Top Gear any day. Class act 👍🏼

Nice comparaison of the E s Ford Mustang and Skoda Enyaq.

I took an Enyaq for a test-drive the other day, never noticed any issues with breaks, the acceleration was also sufficient. It was a pity to give it back...

I have a Kodiaq (which I love) and would like to switch to an Enyaq. My biggest concern is depreciation. What will my £42k be worth in 3 years or 5 years? Who knows what technology will have produced to make these cars obsolete. A guaranteed buy back scheme would make the Skodas sell out.

Black Mach-E is pretty lit, would go for it just for the looks. Hi Rory from Costa Rica!

I haven't tried the Enyaq yet but I found the Mach E had a markedly unsettled and fidgety ride and on poor road surfaces it was unacceptably jiggly and stiff. I wanted to love the Mustang if only for the name, but Rory is right, Ford have work to do to sort the ride

Head to head, I would take the Skoda. I just haven't warmed up to the Mach-Es design even as it is an impressive product. Can't believe the Skoda has such poor 0-62 and braking scores, which could be a deal-breaker. Overall, I'd take the Ionic 5 over all of them. An Iconic design and a strong first-effort from the clever Koreans. As for saving the environment, doesn't matter what you drive as much as how much you consume and use and, more importantly, waste. If you can motivate people to live a more frugal life-style, that could change everything.

Second place is up for grabs! FIGHT!

Skoda needs to have that steering mounted gear lever of the VW group and some dials for climate control. Otherwise a great car and even greater review.

Honestly, it makes the Mach-E feel under-developed. We had ordered the Mach-E then had to cancel it after the Enyaq test drive.

I love my Mustang Mach-e gt it’s so fun

In Italy you can have an Enyaq 50 too and all three models - 50, 60 and 80 - can be had in "x" - i.e. 4WD - version. Besides, you have at least 3 different trim levels for each motor size.

The Skoda just feels like a more honest car. Putting the Mustang badges on these type of cars just feels like trying too hard.

I'd be the first one to say that paying upwards of £30k is a lot for a car...! However, I've just gone on the Skoda configurator to price up a near-as-I-can equivalent Kodiac 5 seater - with 19" alloys and DSG auto gearbox - and the price comes in at £31,665, which is only about £1k less than the Enyaq with 19" alloys and an auto gearbox. Factor in £155 per year road tax and about 39mpg for the ICE car and the numbers definitely favour the EV.

@@garethedwards2883 For the private new car market, it's not an issue - monthly costs are lower once you take into account fuel costs (not how I've bought my cars previously but lots of people do). It's more of an issue for second hand car buyers who often buy with cash rather than finance. The monthly cost calculations can still work out for them, but they'd probably have to take a loan to do it. The difference is their money would go to a finance company rather than an oil company. Make your own decision about the relative evils of those two! Changing from a cash purchase to a finance purchase is a much bigger change of mindset and not something everyone would be willing or able to do.

Having driven one, the mach e is actually quite nice inside. Preferred it to the Q4, which is quite busy

Just a comment about the drum brakes on the back - that's a good thing believe me. I've owned an e-golf for the last 4 years and had to change the back brakes twice because they rust to bits from lack of use (I live in Bergen, Norway where it rains a lot). Unless you drive all over the place braking extremely hard, the back brakes don't warm up enough to dry out properly. It's quite a common issue with EV's here. Having drum brakes, mitigates the problem, as well as the fact that the Skoda is a rear-wheel drive, so all of the regen braking force is coming from that axel anyway (unless you have the 80x, which might also take regen from the front - not sure on that one).

Presentation 👏

Skoda should take resemblance of headlight of Mach e & I will definitely vote for Skoda all day long

Before I’ve watched this, I’m guessing that the Skoda is the best family cat. The MACH E has always seemed and SUV for someone who has to get something bigger for the family but wants to have something that doesn’t look like they’ve compromised on stylish looks.

The drum brakes are not old school but have many advantages on EVs. They do not rust, which is a serious problem with EVs and do not require any service during their life time. ZOE owners report that they often had to replace their rear brake discs due to rusting after only some years.

Awesome presenter.

Great video. Skoda are definitely not the Skoda of old. Can you imagine how strange it would be if Lada's were as good. Or Simca.?

Mustang suspension is horribly under-damped. As a car, it is totally outclassed by the Enyaq and gave our passengers motion sickness. If you want speed, go for a Tesla model 3 or Y. We cancelled our Mustang order as soon as we road tested an Enyaq.

Never saw Rory this angry 5:05 😉

You keep saying that the MachE is more expensive than the Enyaq, but what you're not saying is the base price Enyaq comes with absolutely nothing on it. Everything that you want on it is an optional extra, whereas with the MachE the only options are a towbar and service plans, it comes with everything as standard.

Skoda all day long……👍💪🇮🇲

Although you say both versions of Mustang go further than the Enyaq, lets not forget the small battery version in Mustang is only 7kw smaller than the larger Enyaq, but only provides 17 miles for range than the small Enyaq Battery. Therefore Enyaq is far, far more efficient based on these figures.

I’m looking at getting the Enyaq, although one thing is holding me back the name “Škoda” and I know I’m not the only one 🥴

At £32000, it's not at all an "affordable way" to switch to an EV, it'll be years before they're "affordable". That being said, I'd like to see an update on your used Nissan Leaf

"The car is never gonna be icy in the first place" We're not all watching this from the UK, Rory!

My new Mach E just 4 months old with 2013 miles only , I’ve waiting for it to go back to Ford as I’ve rejected it, it’s the best long range one But most times at 100 % full I’m getting 210 or 212 miles! Shame because it is a lovely car! But not paying £58000 for 210 miles!

I really like the Skoda. A sentence I never thought I would write. They did right what most brands don't... give the car awesome looking rims. I believe the Ford is a bastardisation of the Mustang badge. The just call it a Mustang so they can charge for for it.

The entry level Enyaq is very basic. Once you add in the necessary options and larger battery, they are much the same price.

The review was okay. One bit that annoyed was throwing the boot trim on the floor! Why? I just thought that was a bit daft.
