AI generated from our expert reviews

Both of these electric SUVs make light work of family life, with unobtrusive lane-keeping aids on the move and plenty of room to fit a bulky child seat. Neither will offer much fun when you head onto a twisty country road, however. If you regularly carry passengers, the Skoda Enyaq provides a flat floor that helps seat three comfortably in the back, whereas the Kia EV5 is quite tight for three, leaving whoever gets the hard, high middle seat feeling short-changed. Up front, the EV5 impresses with an ultra-fast touchscreen, in contrast to the laggy responses found in the Enyaq. When it comes to everyday running, the Enyaq proves more efficient than the EV5.
