Ordered late February ’26, and built in early May ’26.
Picked up today, one of the last MY25 from the production line.18 mi on the clock and 90% battery.
I have ASD and thus have difficulty with social and understanding information, written and verbal. I process information in logical blocks, before I reply. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong.
I also have a corneal visual condition, which makes me visually impaired without daytime, or daytime bulbs, among other disabilities/conditions.

Looks absolutely stunning š I’m counting down the days until I collect mine from Vertu in Darlington. Ordered end of March. How does it drive? Are you happy with it so far?
It drives great, speedy, and very quiet. It’s too easy to go over the speed limit as it’s so quiet, you don’t realise the speed your going. The drive assist is way better than Nissan’s. It was auto driving all the way back from Tesco’s. Where my previous Qashqai would only work on wider roads, with very gentle curves.
The HUD seems to fade away on the very left. I don’t know if it’s my driving position. I’ll check tomorrow where my head is centre of the head rest. Still getting the settings and positioning set right. May take some time, as there’s so many options scattered around.

P.S. HUD sounds like it needs adjusting. They can usually be adjusted up/ down, left / right through the settings screen to ensure its optimised and doesnāt fade out at the edges.
I noticed the speed and how easy it was to go over the limit when we picked our Enyaq up. I now only drove in B mode (regeneration) you can adjust the intensity with the paddles, itās a lot easier to stick to the speed limit as the car brakes when you lift off the accelerator.
I may just have to get used to the HUD having a smaller sweet spot.
It maybe that they’re using nearly all of the display space for the information.Whereas, the Qashqai might have only used 80%, allowing for a little head movement.
I’ll continue to play around with the seating position till I get comfy with everything.
It does feel much bigger on the inside than the Qashqai.
The travel assist by the VAG is a great piece of software.I have ASD and thus have difficulty with social and understanding information, written and verbal. I process information in logical blocks, before I reply. Sometimes I'm right and sometimes I'm wrong.
I also have a corneal visual condition, which makes me visually impaired without daytime, or daytime bulbs, among other disabilities/conditions.With every car that Iāve had with HUD, you can adjust the display position via the infotainment system, so that regardless of your seating position you have a clear and unobstructed view of the HUD display with no blurring at the edges. Does the Skoda not have this? Iād be amazed if it doesnāt.

The HUD settings allow for up/down and skew correction and brightness. No left or right, as the projection unit is mounted in place.
I think it’s just my driving posture. As I’ve noticed that the seats are a fraction wider than the Qashqai. I think I’ve managed to find some kind of sweet spot, as long as my head doesn’t bobble around. That I can’t control as I like to look around, or sometimes just slightly drift left or right. It’s just a me thing.

Ah, I see. I hope that you manage to find a compromise between seating position and HUD adjustment that works for you š¤
If I’m not mistaked, the HUD projects onto the windscreen and not onto a pop up perspex screen?, which is odd, as those that project onto the winscreen have full movement, even though the projector is fixed and sits in the dash. Must just be how VW group does it.

They might have changed it with the latest model, but the previous VW Tiguan had the cr@ppy pop-up Perspex screen, rather than proper HUD projected onto the windscreen so that it looks like itās on the road ahead of you – which was why I never added it as an option.
Yes, HUD projects onto windscreen but is easily adjusted from the right hand stalk menu wheel for position, horizontal tilt etc.Ā I find it very useful, it’s about the only thing in the Advanced Pack I paid Ā£2049 extra for when I got mine that was worth having!.
Please excuse spelling/typos. Apart from being a clot it turns out I had one on my cerebellum that's now causing various problems!
My renewal window is open, unfortunately I did not realise the Skoda had updated the towing capacity for the 85 from 1200 to 1800 kg. I need a tow car capable of towing 1500kg, the bad news I am not back of holiday until the 5th July so will be hit with the the new AP.
The good news there is a Skoda dealer about a mile away from the caravan site we regularly use.
Unfortunately I have suffered a brain injury and occasionally I get confused and often say the wrong thing.

Its certainly worth popping back home, if you don’t have the required paperwork and taking one for a spin.
It all on my iPhone, dealer brilliant showed around a SEL model, boot huge could easily take my big scooter, factory order with factory retractable towbar 3/4 months.
I am 180 miles from home, subject to a test drive if the AP is responsible in July when I get home I may go for it.

Dont let them say you have to wait for stock to be created i mistakenly didnt look at stock and ghey said they didnt have any of the ones I wanted in stock already.
Look here to see if theyve got what you need theres 85 editions with a tow bar in stock you can see here:
You can place an order without going to Skoda, as I did. Just call the branch and ask to sign the documents via DocuSign or other tool they use.
Skoda Oxford refused,Ā but Skoda in Reading (Berkshire) did it, so I only went once to collect my Enyaq. The dealer did the rest,Ā including personal number plates.

Apologies for briefness and spelling mistakes.Motability Skoda Enyaq SportLine 85x April 2024 (unhappy customer - Ombudsman pending)
Motability Mazda CX-60 PHEV July 2023 (unhappy customer - early termination on mechanical grounds)
Motability VW Touran Family Pack May 2019 (happy customer)Thatās interesting, I donāt want a stock vehicle MY26 I want a factory fresh MY27 with the updates and a factory retractable towbar so definitely a factory vehicle.

That’s better than Skoda Hamilton, who made me get a wheelchair taxi there to order the car and I had to wait three hours to get a wheelchair taxi back home. The worst dealership I have ever dealt with.
They even ordered the wrong speck car, making me wait another three month, to get the right car.

many thanks for giving the dealers name a lot on here seem reluctant to do so I applaud you as it gives us warning to steer clear
