    Good write up Mark 🙂

    Having secretly had extended test drives in all 3, perhaps Ive been more vocal on the 6. What I will say is both Kia and Hyundai are certainly doing things right, a far cry from when they first came to Europe.

    I had dismissed the Enyak prior to taking it for a test drive, which was mainly down to interior looks. I’m not a fan of this big box, littles box theme some manufacturers are adopting. The Enyak had a better layout than VW ID’s but never less not for me. I found the 80 at the time a bit under powered for me at the time, which I’m sure the 85 will be better in that respect. I’m actually a fan of Skoda after having the Superb however, the direction they are going with their option packs and expensive ones at that makes me think there trying to be something they aren’t and by that I mean a premium brand.

    As for the 5 and 6, they are two very different cars, appealing to different markets. The 5 has a very comfy ride perhaps Citreon of old like and if you want a car to tootle from A to B you will do so more comfortably, than the 6. The interior perhaps has more of an EV vibe than the 6 but, still gets two 12″ displays “Hallelujah”. The 5 still gets nice ambiant lighting in the front and rear, whils’t perhaps not on the grandure of the 6, which may be a tad too much in all honesty. Equally the 5 won’t gain the attention of perhaps the 6 lol.

    Overall Good choice Mark, I’m sure you will be very happy with the 5 and with its super fast charging 🙂
