Look at the Enyaq 60 Edition – I think it has the ACC, electric seats and electric tailgate but no AWD (I’ve only really looked into the 85 Edition as my wife already has range anxiety so doesnt even want to consider the 60 but I believe those bits are what the edition trim is about.) – having said that I’ve read that the AWD doesn’t really help much, decent tyres on the rear wheel drive outperform the standard tyres on the AWD.
Remember the enyaq is a relatively heavy car being an EV so grip may be better than you expect.
At 1399 its within the rules of the grant, you put 400 in, then get the 750 new car payment separately after collection – you said you had 500 available so that should work if you can live without the AWD. You would be stuck with the standard interior – the other ones all take the AP over 1499.
The new car payment of £750 is probably taken as your money as, lets face it, they give it to you either way, you can CHOOSE to have them send it to the dealer on your behalf to reduce the AP but they’re basically just saving a step in the process – its probably still considered your money.
