Skoda Superb estate or Enyaq?

Hi Gerard,
Before even looking at pricing, I will say that the Superb is a much nicer car to drive aside from the lack of engine and transmission noise in the Enyaq. The Superb is smoother on the road and more stable in general, also feeling more agile despite its dimensions.
We also prefer the dashboard and interface of the Superb, as the Enyaq is too reliant on the touchscreen for our liking. On top of that, the Superb has a much larger boot.
However, the Enyaq has a flat floor across the rear, making life more comfortable for any passenger in the middle row. And in general, you sit higher up in the Enyaq as well, which some people like.
The Superb Combi (to give it its official name) starts at €50,900 for the 204hp plug-in hybrid. It's from €51,435 with a 150hp petrol engine, or €500 more for the 150hp diesel. All are front-wheel drive.
At the foot of the Enyaq lineup is the '60' model at €43,790 (after all State incentives), which has a 204hp electric motor and an official range of 430km, though the next rung up the ladder, the '80' makes a lot more sense at €45,980 as it has a bigger battery for a 575km range, plus a 285hp motor.
There are several other, more expensive, Enyaqs in the lineup, including the Sportline cars and the top RS model with all-wheel drive, but there's nothing in the existing Superb Combi range to compare, really.
In terms of performance, though the Enyaq is a heavy thing, it's generally faster accelerating than the Superb because of the instant-torque characteristic of electric motors. The Superb in PHEV guise is the only one that just about match even the least powerful of the Enyaqs.
So there's the data to help you decide, depending on your priorities and budget. Feel free to come back to us with your preferences if you want us to help you narrow things down further.
