    Great post on 3 cars we’re looking at. We tested the Enyaq a couple of weeks ago, Mrs Joe liked it but I was worried it was a bit high for her to climb into. How do they compare drivers seat height wise, thinking of how easy for a wheelchair user to climb in?

     

    To be honest, I’ve no great idea of how easy it is to get in/out of a chair but if you found the Enyaq accessible then the 5 will be, otherwise the 6 is ‘normal car’ height.  I suspect that the 2 SUV height cars will be a little high and will be more of a lift out and up rather than a slide across, if you see what I mean.

    ,  I think as a car to switch to EV the Enyaq has enough familiarity to be a very nice transition but I found the lack of regen disappointing.  The 5 and 6 are great EVs, superb cars and anyone choosing either will be delighted.  As you said, tootling around in absolute comfort, very much like the air ride Citroens of old, makes the 5 the right choice and that’s pretty much all I do these days.  For those who want to hoon around flat out, the Enyaq Sportline would be a good choice, the 6 wouldn’t be bad but I can see why some reviewers have said it encourages you to look for better miles per kWh.

    In all, they really are 3 great cars and I can see why reviewers went wild over both the 5 and the Enyaq.  I can see why all 3 got so many awards.  What I can’t understand is why all these experts are ignoring them for best scheme cars,  the Enyaq and 5 are great for those requiring storage for chairs.
