Skoda Enyaq electric lease deals

Leasing a Skoda Enyaq in the UK

Will families ever be able to afford an electric vehicle? The need for cost-effective, and practical, SUVs in a pure electric format became a growing need in the UK around 2018 / 2019, at a time when much of the investment and product from manufacturers seemed to centre around luxury and performance EVs. If the UK is to achieve the 2030 / 2035 ambitious decarbonisation targets, then our populous clearly need affordable BEV solutions.

And in 2020, Skoda introduced one such option – the Skoda Enyaq iV. While Skoda have been historically successful with their plug-in hybrid iV options, particularly the Octavia and Superb, entering the world of electric cars was very much a new concept. But forming part of the VW Group certainly helps, and in using the VW Id.4 platform, Skoda were able to offer a product capable of competing with the Kia e-Niro, Hyundai Kona, Volvo XC40 and of course, their sister-product VW Id.4.

But is the Enyaq proving to be popular? The 4x4 Skoda entered the UK at a time when the Tesla Model 3 had really set the customer expectation for quality and user-friendly zero-emission cars. But the car did not disappoint and for those personal and business leasing customers with families / pets, a perfect solution was introduced.

The Enyaq has been so successful that the “estate” version was soon followed by a Coupe, replicating what VW have done with the Id.4 and Id.5. Not stopping there, Skoda have continued to evolve their product suite with new specification and battery options, including rapid charge upgrades, as part of cementing their position as the leading affordable SUV to lease in the UK.

Before the impact of microchip and part shortage, arising from COVID, UK customers could select one of the following battery sizes for both the Estate or Coupe versions (subject to spec change and availability):

• 60 – this 58 kWh lithium-ion battery delivers 132 kW of power (or 177 hp), 99mph top speeds and 8.7 second 0 – 62 times. On electric performance, the 60 model will deliver around 170 miles of driving combined in colder weather and 230 miles in warmer weather on a full charge. Expect 0 – 100% charge times of just over 6 hours on the 11 kW AC max and 30-minute rapid charge times on the 130 kW DC max (from 10 – 80%);

• 80 – this 77 kWh lithium-ion battery delivers 150 kW of power (or 201 hp), 99mph top speeds and 8.6 second 0 – 62 times. On electric performance, the 80 version will deliver around 220 miles of driving combined in colder weather and 300 miles in warmer weather on a full charge. Expect 0 – 100% charge times of just over 8 hours on the 11 kW AC max and 33-minute rapid charge times on the 135 kW DC max (from 10 – 80%);

• 80x – the 4WD upgrade also use the 77 kWh lithium-ion battery. In terms of speeds, the vehicle delivers 195 kW of power (or 261 hp), 99mph top speeds and 6.9 second 0 – 62 times. On electric performance, the 80x version will deliver around 210 miles of driving combined in colder weather and 285 miles in warmer weather on a full charge. Expect 0 – 100% charge times of just over 8 hours on the 11 kW AC max and 33-minute rapid charge times on the 135 kW DC max (from 10 – 80%); and

• vRS – the top-spec option will also adopt the 77 kWh lithium-ion battery. In terms of performance, the vehicle delivers 220 kW of power (or 261 hp), 112mph top speeds and 6.2 second 0 – 62 times. On electric performance, the vRS version will deliver around 200 miles of driving combined in colder weather and 270 miles in warmer weather on a full charge. Expect 0 – 100% charge times of just over 8 hours on the 11 kW AC max and 33-minute rapid charge times on the 135 kW DC max (from 10 – 80%);

One of the amazing things about the e-car lease website is that our “Living with your …” tools set out all of this essential information on the battery for you, or the fleet manager, to review before committing to your contract hire arrangement. As our team offers a fixed term, contract financial product, you cannot just hand an EV back if it isn’t suitable; you must enter into a process known as Early Termination (ET). And an ET will cost around half of the remaining rentals – you cannot just swap or upgrade during a contract.

• Loft – circa £40,970.00 for the standard 80 model, this car incudes 19” alloys, LED headlights, rear spoiler, LED ambient lighting, lane assist, keyless stop/start, front assist with emergency braking, navigation, virtual cockpit, 13” touchscreen, climate control, cruise control, front and rear parking sensors, rear view camera and a Mode 3 cable (for Type 2 connection);
• Loft (Suite) – for around £1,400 more, amend the standard Loft to have soft black leather, optional electric driver’s seat with massaging function and leather door inserts;
• Loft (Lounge) – for just £1,200 above the base model, this includes leather and microfibre seats and the anodised décor on the doors plus black floor mats;
• Loft (ecoSuite) – for around £1,650 extra, change to this to enjoy an “eco-friendly” cognac brown leather interior with leatherette inserts; and 
•  Sportline – circa £44,520.00, the dynamic sports model includes 20” alloys, LED matrix headlights, sports bumpers, alcantara/leather upholstery, black exterior styling, 3-spoke heated sports steering wheel, aluminium pedals, sports seats and an array of options including assisted drive package (for adaptive cruise), infotainment pack (for augmented reality HUD), panoramic sunroof and the comfort seat package (for electric seats with massage function). Upgrade to the “X” for the 4WD capability for an additional £3,000 above a 2WD Sportline.

There are a number of other packages available on your new Enyaq, such as the climate package (for heated seats and washer nozzles), climate package plus (for heated rear seats and windscreen), drive sport package (for a 3-spoke heated leather steering wheel and drive mode select), assisted drive package (for adaptive cruise) and the heat pump for the battery pack.

And the Enyaq estate and coupe are designed for both PCH and BCH customers. The argument for electric vehicles is somewhat more attractive for companies (both the employer and employee). At 2% BiK, company car tax couldn’t be any cheaper with your electric Skoda, not to mention lower running costs and lower fuel costs (don’t forget to use our charge cost calculator on the e-car website). But individual customers can enjoy many of these benefits too, particularly for those households with solar panels and battery storage. The EV-lifestyle is making many of our UK customer rethink their fleets.
