The best electric car for young families on a ‘normal budget’ It looks smart casual As I approached the Enyaq for the first time, three things immediately caught my attention. Firstly, despite being an electric vehicle, it maintains a conventional car appearance. While a back-to-the-future Delorean style can certainly be appealing for an electric car, its normalcy is refreshing. Secondly, Skoda’s design mastery is evident; the Enyaq exudes the sophistication of a smart-casually dressed George…
