My Skoda dealer reckoned that the low Enyaq AP was to boost volumes and guarantee dealers future servicing income to compensate them for the fact that Skoda has switched to a selling agent model for their EVs. Plausible as the switch to the agency model is true and of course Motability do only use manufacturers service centers. Might be part of it although fillng to order book before the switch to the new model seems at least as likely. The Kona not as premium as the Enyaq Sportline plus but nicer than anything else on our reserve list. Removed the Austral from that today as the boot not dog shaped. The Peugeott 3008 and Ford Kuga as suitable but looking very dated alongside the Enyaq and Kona. We also looked at the Tucson but didn’t take it out as it looked huge in the showroom although looking at spec it is actually 22CM smaller than our Tiguan Allspace so might take it for a spin . Not as futuristic as the Kona but decent box of toys.
Strange if true, as EV servicing is pittance compared to ICE and the first service only includes polen filters, fluid levels type of thing.
Its difficult tocompare the Kona to the Enyak as they are both at different ends of the market. More compareable to the T Roc, Kamiq, though it will have more standard kit and niceties than the Enyak and one of the reasons I went Korean rather than European with my current car.
I have the Tuson Ultimate and its only 4.5m in length and 1.865m wide excliding the mirrors. Its bigger than the Tiggy but, as you say smaller than the Allspace. Its also shorter in length to the Enyak. Its got a very roomy and decent boot @620l and every extra you can think of heated seats front rear, ventilated front seats etc. I am having an early termination as I was a fool to have the manual at the time 🙂
