Look really nice though no price for them yet.
All you want to know is here:
No chance of this coming onto the scheme when they can’t even get any of the e-niro’s on.

Sadly I doubt we will see it for a while, but never say never, the Hyundai Kona is slightly more than the starting point of the EV6, so not totally ruled out, NO WAY will we see the GT though, 500+ bhp would be nice, but too hot for us!

2023 - Hyundai Kona Electric UltimateSadly agree, we won’t see this on scheme. Nevertheless it looks really good. The design, like other Kia and Hyundai shapes is original, different and nicely balanced. May not see it, but hope that it represents a step in the right direction for the shape of cars to come. Moreover, the cabin seems to have some buttons, switches and levers – not all touch-screen!
It’s finally made its way on and is available on Q3 2023! I am in the process of reviewing my PIP claim- if it stays the same, I will be ordering one for sure
6999 for the RWD Air, 7499 for the GT Line RWD and 7999 for the GT Line AWD
A very impressive and futuristic EV incredibly spacious and comfortable. 800V architecture meaning super high speed charging.
This is an awesome addition to the scheme. Along side the Ioniq 5 Ultimate and the Enyaq at its new price the Mach E is looking very much overpriced right now.

MFIllingham,
I agree, this quarter is looking good, with, finally, the first 4wd ev and better trim levels.
it’s making me thing again, I had set myself to get the iv80 Enyaq but they have now added the coupe.
I would add the £4,800 option pack, but with the Ionic 5 Ultimate and the Kia EV6 Gt AWD and both being at £7,999 I might have to think again.
my reasoning is fairly simple, if,for any chance, the car I choose gets written off or removed, you get a proportion of the AP back, but you do not get any money back for any extras you add and I don’t believe they are covered by the insurance, so looking at this quarters choices, suddenly the better spec cars makes more sense.
plus of course ev6 awd 0-60 in 4.8 sec…….

@RogerWilko As I see it, there’s a number of choices, the Enyaq IV 80 plus pack (£7729), Ariya Evolve (if range isn’t hugely important) at £6999, Ioniq 5 Ultimate at £7999 and the EV6 GT Line (although there’s a lot of kit reserved for the GT line S) at £7,495 or 7995 for the AWD. The charging curves on the Hyundai and KIA are impressive thanks to the 800V Architecture, assuming you can find a 350kW charger.
I am also debating the risk factor, as you say, if anything goes wrong in the Skoda, you’ve lost all of that £4800. With the rest you’ll see a percentage back.
The EV6 is normal car height, seats are where you’d expect for any non SUV/Crossover level and the car handles accordingly better, however, if you have challenges getting in/out of a lower car, then it’s a definite consideration. The Ioniq 5 Ultimate is a much better option that the previous offerings and includes things like heated rear seats and electric tailgate that the KIA misses. The Ariya, however, has all the toys in the Evolve version, heated rear seats, heated and cooled front electric seats, memory powered control for both mirrors and steering wheel, power tailgate and a very flat charging curve. The only downside on the scheme Evolve is the shorter range (145-305 miles) comparing the 220 mile Evolve against the near 300 mile Ioniq and EV6 comes down to whether the toys are important. Don’t forget the ID5 is cheaper than the Enyaq 80, the ID4 Style is better equipped but cheaper than the Korean offerings, there’s still the Q4 which is a nice car but, again, needs additional packs to be competitive on spec.
I’m bouncing between the kit on the Ariya and the range and savings on the Enyaq (maybe with the Clever pack). The Enyaq has all the space, range and actual buttons but also has the VW software and less kit. The Ariya has all the toys, a great charging curve and a heat pump and the range is still nearing 200 miles in summer and over 150 in winter, which is enough. The EV6 GT Line has most of the kit of the Nissan and the range of the Skoda in one, which makes it worth thinking about.
I was surprised that both the Ioniq 5 and EV6 have Apple car play and Android Auto over a cable only, the rest have wireless connectivity for convenience. It’s not a major thing but is worth considering.

You’ve summed it up well.I too would be very interested in the Ariya, the kit list is only matched by the i5 Ultimate, and even then a few things are missing.
Sadly the smaller, cheaper EV’s just are not big enough as we have found with the Soul, it’s just that bit too small. The ZS, MG4, Megane ID.3 etc just won’t do. Maybe the Niro, but been poking around one and it’s not much bigger than the ZS.
I still have a year to go, so I can (murphy’s law) watch all these great deals and cars drop off the scheme just prior to my ordering window…..
In life, it's not who you know that's important, it's how your wife found out.
Currently, the Enyaq and ID5 aren’t far above the smaller, cheaper EVs. That is likely to be temporary, at least for the ID5, and who knows how long the direction of the VW/Audi group will be to keep APs low.
I’m debating between the cheaper big option the Enyaq offers with a long term view of the potential cost of the next lease and going big this time with a well equipped model like the Ariya or Ioniq5 Ultimate. The prospect of getting an all singing, all dancing EV with a high AP and then in 3 to 5 years having to find a further 8 grand and going forward for the next few decades but the functionality those cars offer really raise the bar. With developing arthritis in my hands, both adults with arthritis in knees and other issues going on, having a car with an electric tailgate, electric seats and even heating in 4 seats would all prove beneficial. Even something as simple as a heated steering wheel makes life better when your joints are hurting and cold.
Not so long ago the EV options at a decent size was a very expensive Ariya or the smaller Kona/Niro. Now there’s EVs everywhere and we’ve got decisions to make.

You can buy a wireless kit for both Android Auto or Car Play. Although not what I’d call truely wiress as it requires a dongle that plugs into the USB socket on the car making your phone wireless. Carlink kits are one of the better ones, if it interests you 🙂
Don’t forget the Ioniq ultimate also has ventilated front seats!
I’m looking at the options based on need I think.
‘The Enyaq wins in suv form for boot space, the coupe version doesn’t have as much useful space for two big dogs due to rake, but it looks great.
tge Ionic 5 now in ultimate has all the bells and whistles pkus for another £1,000 on top you get the full names an pack added
The ev6 in get line is very well specked and is the only ev of tgat size to have the all wheel drive option, but a smaller boot than the ionic 5 and Enyaq.
we looked at the Aryia, but first the only option of the smaller battery, plus the seat angle in the back and a very high and shallow boot has put it out the running.
I woukd like to see if the Ford Explorer makes an entrance and the Subaru Solterra.
However, I have one more quarter to go and the way prices are going, I’m hoping the Enyaq Sportline appears lol
In my view the EV 6 is expensive for only the GT -line model, the top tech is on the GT- line S. The Ariya , in the Evolve spec is pretty good. I’m not saying all these “toys” are important, but at these prices , I would want them. My dad always told me to always go for the older , top of the range car , than the newer low spec one . He said you’ll be happier in the long run.

Yes mate, I’m aware of that, I’m just wondering whether I want to pick a car then buy a dongle to do what an alternative can do. The EV6 looks really nice, distinctive but doesn’t come with enough kit to justify the price, the AWD version would be the only justification but I don’t need it. The Ioniq only comes in shades of grey (even the blue and green options are greyish) and while that’s really not that much of a reason, I live with a wife and daughter who will nag me to death if I get a bad colour. The Nissan has the colours for the girls and the kit for me.

I fully understand what your saying about buying something a car should really have as standard these days. Personally I can’t wait till all cars come with Android Automotive ~(google maps) where our phones connect seamlessy includining IOS devices. I believe Renault has it on some of their cars but mainly seen in upmarket brands.
Ye. Whatever you do don’t go against what you wife would wish for ?
Hyundai seem to like “green tinge” My Tuscon looked a lovely grey in the showroom (Amazon Grey) but is more green grey on a sunny day!
Best of luck with your search 🙂
Not a car I would consider due to its spec/ap/build quality/ride comfort Predict the AP to drop 30/50% wiithin the next 6 months just as the E Tec has done
Let us know how you get on please? Looking at both of these yesterday, but none were available to test drive unfortunately. I liked the higher driving position of the Ioniq 5 but preferred the wrap around cockpit of the EV6. Either one though are both stunning to look at. Leaning more towards the EV6 GT Line AWD because of the impressive performance figures. I’m also lucky enough to have free 150kw charging at my place of work.
Hi all.
I have been using the site for the past year and finally at the point of purchase.
Having test driven the EV6, Ionic 5 ans VW ID5 I can honestly say they all feel good
The EV6 seems to tick most boxes, the Hyundai comes close with the id5 at the rear – however.
£2500 compared to £8000 up front is massive and if I’m honest has me swaying towards the VW iD5.
One thing my wife was really wanting was the birds view/360° reverse camera – none of these, or similar models available on the scheme seem to offer that!?
Can some one please persuade me not too, for the majority of neg reviews around the id5 centre around its pricing – and the better options available to consumer (Ev6 & IONIC, ENYAQ) in the £50k bracket. Now that vehicle is 1/3 of the price it is seriously making itself a viable option.
The Ariya Evolve has the 360 camera. It has a split screen so you have the reverse view and 360 birds eye beside that.
Personally I’ve sat in all the models and the build quality starts with the VWs at relatively poor, especially for such an expensive car, then it’s a big jump to the Enyaq and the Ariya then you have the Hyundai, EV6 and Q4 all built to a high standard. That said, the quality in the Skoda and Nissan are not bad by any means. I know a lot of people who’d be delighted with them but the absence of rattles, plasticy surfaces and that feel of solid quality just stand out. I don’t like the door handles on the Ioniq,it’s a little thing but these cars will be separated by little, personal choices.
Around the £2,500 AP, there’s the Enyaq or better equipped ID5. The toys on offer don’t make up for the lesser comfort, non functioning software and feel when compared to the mammoth and incredibly well built Enyaq. However, the eternal nag for me with the Skoda is that you need to buy at least one pack and that’s £2755 or more that you’ll never see again, even if circumstances see you early terminate your contract. £5654 sees you with the Enyaq 80 and the Clever pack which heats the front seats, gives you the heated steering wheel with paddles for regen plus the USB C in the rear and rear blinds as well as the superb ACC and upgraded acoustic glass with rear privacy tints. £7729 adds on top of that powered tailgate, electric driver’s seat and matrix headlights and progressive indicators. That’s nearly £5,000 though spent on packs that are entirely at your own risk, whereas the EV6, Ioniq 5 and Ariya Evolve can all do the same, if not more, without that risk.

well the ev6 was dropped from the list ride felt like a xr3i from the 80s (a bit bumpy and rattly in cabin on a car thats done 10k the id5 felt good but seats not as comfortable as the megane e-tech ones and I place my back comfort over all things, for once a car manufacture was not lying about having the seats ergo designed.
one more to test (the id5) then it looks like its a megane.
Thank you for the feedback, now I know what to expect when I go for test drives when the cars are available. I had a sit in the Megane E-tech ev60 160kw Iconic and I’m a large guy and it felt like a small car. Whilst I was at Renault I sat in the Austral 1.2 E-Tech FHEV Techno Esprit Alpine and that felt really premium and had all the bells and whistles for £3,495 AP, which is a massive saving along with the £750 New Vehicle Payment you get off £2745 is a fair price for the spec and Engine you get on the Austral. So it’s all down to personal preference, as I want the car with the most spec (toys) with a decent quick engine. Decisions Decisions ?
Rico, have you not tried the Enyaq?
