I think the line should be incremental, based on previous years incident free driving. E.g. a 23 yr old that’s just become eligible for the scheme but has 3+ years ncb from previous history (as policy holder not named driver) should be able to have any car. Whereas a 26 yr old with no driving history or ncb should have to start at the bottom, as it were.
Totally agree especially Elliots son who by the age of 18 had two years more experience than the vast majority.
I’m with you pops regarding the interior, it’s very nice. I like that snug feeling that these type of interiors give.
There is a facelift due in 2025 as I have been looking at new ev cars coming to the UK as I was thinking of extending and waiting to see.
It was the new 3008e which caught my attention, but I’m like a child and want my new car now lol and I’m starting to hate the Kona.
Just to confirm the sport and advance both have blind spot detection on both mirrors the premium white grey sport is in showroom at Leicester and a red and blue advance are outside
actually I was told the blind spot monitor isn’t being fitted to UK vehicles at the moment because of a parts shortage.
I read that on the car forum linked above and it was said that it would be temporary due to part shortages.
I had to look recently for an under 25 and thought there were some nice cars on. She settled on a polo because of immediate delivery.
She was hell bent on a vw or seat because that’s what all the cool kids drive now lol
Yeah folks that’s what the salesman said yesterday. Basically apart from software and grille it’s pretty much the same. Mind the one in the showroom was a basic model.
Shaun that’s what I’m interested in the seats. I’m waiting on another dealer to call back now to see what’s in their showroom.
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Would the seats in any new vrs be the same as sportline? If so I could get an idea from a different car, although if it’s a say superb which is a car the same seats might feel different in a higher suv.</p>Yeah that’s very nice. I’m going to take a run out to another dealership tomorrow to see if they have any 85s in the show room.
I’ve another 6 weeks until I can order, it will probably be off the scheme by then lol
<p style=”text-align: center;”>Yeah folks I just had a look online and CHAMEDO is for fast charging only. Cheers</p>
Great rich. I thought black as I think I read that the badging and lettering on the sportline X is black and just thought it would look good. Sorta like a blackout/debadging effect which I believe some folk pay money to do.
Yip I just checked the Skoda configurator and it’s black Skoda lettering on the back. The Skoda badge on the front would be nice if black. And nother quick check shows plenty of aftermarket black Skoda badges, so may do it myself.
The chrome sportline badge on the side looks good so would better that colour I think.
This was a good informative video. However the 38 mpg on the motorway is a bit poor. I was hoping for at least 50 mpg on the motorway.
38 mpg on the motorway omg how fast were they going ?
To quote him ‘a touch over 70’ lol. Hmm a motor nut on his way to Silverstone who had already stated he will not get near official figures, hinting at the way he drives.
Still a very positive review.
I’m trying to talk myself into this car, but it’s too smaaaaal for car camping.
I forgot what size it was so just had a wee Google to see.
L. 4568
W. 1840
H. 1620
Boot 370 ltrs
To try and put that into perspective for me my old Kona EV is L 363 smaller, W 40 smaller H 50 taller and the zrv gains an extra 38 ltrs.
What really shocked me was when I compared it to the Tucson as the zrv is slightly longer but just very slightly narrower than it.
The base model Enyaq estate 60 is nil AP. Absolute bargain.
Definitely cat swinging size and plenty capable of getting around nicely for long journeys, Enyaq Gorm has several videos of him going huge distances in his 60 and doing absolutely fine.
Watched his recent one over the weekend where he had to pick up his son last minute with hardly any charge. Easily done with no dramas! We’re ordering next week but going for the 85 Ecosuite, we visit the Southwest a few times a year, we could just about do it with 1 stop in the 85 and for the extra few hundred quid it was worth it.
Joe Joe the eco suite is the leather I believe, but does it only come in the brown/tan colour?
No 85 models yet in our dealership and even worse it was a low spec model. But after seeing the Astral, BZ4X and Enyaq my other half likes them in that order which is the same as me.
Astral is beautiful but not EV so not really happening, bz4x we both prefer on looks, meanwhile the Enyaq at the ap makes the most sense tbh.
So I’ve 6 weeks until I can order but it’s looking like the 85x sportline in black.
But I would really love to see the edition next to the sportline or even in the same compound just to compare.
I managed to get through to my dealer at 0930 today. Extended test drive booked for tomorrow morning. Very very helpful but did say they had a lot of motability interest in the 30 minutes they’d been open… Anyway, the lead time was only a few weeks unless you want spec additions. I think I’d want the rugged pack. See how tomorrow goes ?
4 dealerships today and 3 were dead and the honda one was very busy. I had to hover about and wait to get someone to get the keys to open it. I know three were motabillity customers. I’m not nosy but some folk aren’t quiet lol
Just back from the dealership and was in the sport model in Metallic blue with black alloys. It’s a lovely looking car inside and out. Decent materials inside, similar to what Peugeot are doing.
It’s to small as I’ve my heart set on car camping and non EV so I’m out, but its a great car for the price and well worth anyone’s time to have a look.
Has it put you off Des ? My Chr was assembled in Turkey of all places so I can’t complain
Wouldn’t put me off in the slightest. This car is just to small for me or I’d be very interested.
I’m going over to Skoda soon and will call into honda and have a look at it. All our main dealers are right beside each other.
Good review and I totally get your wife but in my case it was a big ugly transit for years. So I do like the cocoon/cockpit feeling of most cars now.
As for the range, mine was always poor. Some folk on here were claiming over 300 miles on a charge, I’m not saying they’re liars, but I don’t believe them lol. No matter how hard I tried I could not get over 270ish and it’s no way to live/drive just to achieve that range.
Oh mine did have a fault were there was a big gap between bonnet and front end. A quick Google told me how to fix it and it did add about 15-20 mile to my range
Just read that it’s assembled in China
Yeah I seen that on the forum. Someone spotted that part of the vin number? Means its built in China
Cheers folks. Might nip over to the showroom and see what there. Mind I’ve been to two different dealers to see the 80 and they’ve only had 80 sportline X model in the room. It would be nice to see them in the flesh and beside eachother.
Just had a look on the Skoda website and there appears to be plenty of stock available of edition and a few sportline.
Their words ‘available immediately’ ‘available 1-2 weeks’ ‘available nationwide’. I didn’t dig to deep into it but just incase it helps someone.
Folks the difference between the edition and the sportline x apart from 4×4 is just styling? So would they have the exact same equipment levels but just look different?
I have asked this before but I’ve forgotten… sigh
<p style=”text-align: right;”>Mike I was just reading through the forum liked above to see what owners thought of it. There’s very little in it mind one poster had an hour and a half test drive and returned 52mpg mostly motorway, a roads and some town driving.</p>
Also one saying about road noise which would be a big negative for me.The Enyaq I wanted is 400 cheaper and the most suitable car, but I really like the BZ4X so some thinking to do if the price drops.
TBF both are suitable just that the Enyaq slightly more.
I know nowt about it but do recall posts about bhp being limited, but think maybe it’s for ice cars?
Anyways speed does not interest me in the slightest. I’ve yet to be in a car that can’t overtake easily enough and that’s the important bit.
I drove an uncles Sierra cosworth many moons ago and it did nowt for me at all, same with my first mb car the 2ltr TD astra which was fast. Also my EV now has definitely made me more of a chilled driver, not for economy either. I just find it more relaxing than
Back on topic, as the seal and 6 are similar looking outside I do prefer the interior of the 6.
