Peugeot e-5008 vs Skoda Enyaq

The Peugeot e-5008 costs £1,655 more than the Skoda Enyaq. For that premium it adds 40 miles more WLTP range and 2 more seats (7 versus 5). The Skoda Enyaq is not just cheaper - it also offers 237 litres more boot space and a 1.6s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the Skoda Enyaq comes out ahead overall.

The Skoda Enyaq is £1,655 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £160 a year either way, at 8,000 miles on an off-peak home tariff. Add 5 years of charging and the Skoda Enyaq comes out roughly £1,655 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.

EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 257 miles for the Peugeot e-5008 and 224 miles for the Skoda Enyaq - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The Peugeot e-5008 goes roughly 33 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 24-30 minutes.

The two are within 16 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq and about 505 mm of total clearance for the Peugeot e-5008. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 1.9 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.

Over a 8-year ownership window EVcarsguide's degradation model projects roughly 84% battery health for the Peugeot e-5008 and 84% for the Skoda Enyaq. That is close enough that capacity loss should not decide between them. Both use NMC-type cells, so for daily use keep the charge limit near 80% to slow degradation. Both batteries carry a 8-year manufacturer warranty.
