Negatives

In February 2026 two warning lights appeared on the dashboard, suggesting there was a possible drive or battery issue. My service provider ran a diagnostic check and advised that the heater coil had failed. A replacement heater coil has been on back order for over four months. Neither VAG, Skoda UK or Skoda in the Czech Republic can advise when a new heater coil will be shipped to my service partner; the VAG spares supply system is a total failure.

Compared to when you first bought the car, does your battery still charge at the same rate & do you still get the same range?

Yes

Have you experienced any faults with the car? If so, what have they been?

Yes, see my answer above in ‘Negatives’ with the heater coil, plus software updates.

What are the standout technological features of the car?

• Comfort
• driving performance.

Ohme ePod – excellent, no issues.
