What owners say
Aggregated from UK owner forums and communities - the things you only learn after living with the car.
Shared watch-outs for both cars
Owners of every car here flag infotainment & software, real-world range. Worth checking on a test drive whichever you choose.
Skoda Enyaq
iV 60
Owners love
- Spacious, comfortable cabin and a big boot that suits families, dogs and bulky kit
- Very low running costs, with owners commonly seeing 3-4 miles per kWh in mild weather
- Well built, with interior materials owners rate above its VW group siblings
Watch out for
- Real-world range falls well short of the official figure, and cold weather takes a further 25-30% off
- Many features were paid options, so two cars of the same year and badge can be very differently equipped
- Faster DC charging was a paid option on early cars, so some 2021-era cars rapid-charge at only 50 kW
Owner tips
- Check the factory specification certificate in the Skoda app (or with a dealer) to see which DC charging rate and options a car left the factory with
- Confirm a heat pump by the refrigerant label under the bonnet (R744 means heat pump, R1234yf means none)
VW ID.5
Pro 77kWh 174PS
Owners love
- Owners like the looks, the comfortable ride and the roomy cabin, which feels more spacious than the ID.3.
- In mild weather owners report around 250-280 miles, and efficiency of about 3.6-3.8 miles per kWh.
- Cars with the optional heat pump lose noticeably less range in winter.
Watch out for
- The software is the most common complaint: slow start-up, settings that reset, unreliable CarPlay and voice control, and updates that needed dealer visits.
- Winter range falls to around 190-215 miles for some owners, well below the figures dealers quoted.
- Several owners report DAB radio stuttering and poor reception.
Owner tips
- Check the car is on current software and ask which updates and recalls the dealer has done.
- Look for a car with the heat pump if you do a lot of winter driving.

Frequently asked questions
Is the VW ID.5 worth the extra £16,285 over the Skoda Enyaq?
The VW ID.5 costs £16,285 more than the Skoda Enyaq. For that premium it adds 67 miles more WLTP range and a 2.0s quicker 0-62mph time. On EVcarsguide's combined category scores, the VW ID.5 comes out ahead overall.
Which is cheaper to own over 5 years, the Skoda Enyaq or the VW ID.5?
The Skoda Enyaq is £16,285 cheaper to buy. Running costs are almost identical - about £168 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 £16,285 cheaper overall. These figures cover list price and home charging only - insurance, servicing, tyres and depreciation will move the real total.
What are the Skoda Enyaq and VW ID.5 like on a long motorway trip?
EVcarsguide estimates a real-world motorway range of about 208 miles for the Skoda Enyaq and 263 miles for the VW ID.5 - both below their WLTP figures, because sustained high speed is the hardest case for an EV. The VW ID.5 goes roughly 56 miles further between charging stops. Both rapid-charge to 80% in a similar time, around 24-29 minutes.
Which is easier to park and drive in town, the Skoda Enyaq or the VW ID.5?
The two are within 27 mm on width, so neither is meaningfully easier to thread into a tight space. In a standard 2,400 mm bay that leaves about 548 mm of total clearance for the VW ID.5 and about 521 mm of total clearance for the Skoda Enyaq. The Skoda Enyaq also turns in a 0.9 m tighter circle, which helps with U-turns and multi-storey ramps.
