Yeah that might be it, we had an unaccompanied test drive.
Sadly, i don’t know of any offers on the Explorer currently, but it’s basically the same price as the N Line. That said: a V1 at £1k is actually not too bad either. I’d still very much miss Matrix LEDs, and heated seats and steering wheel – but money is money.
We were keen on the Enyaq too, just thought it drove a bit bland. The scheme only has “Edition” and “Sportline” models, no base models – they’re not huge spec (Matrix LEDs, heated electric massage seats and steering wheel, keyless, full ambient lighting, umbrellas and electric tailgate), but decentish for £1500. The £2000 variant etc is just different interior, that’s all subjective – only the £2500 version adds stuff (Canton Sound system, 360 camera and augmented reality HUD which i did like).
All in all, it’s the most “mature” offer, we thought. I just felt a bit disconnected from driving, didn’t feel comfortable driving it.
