The pockets on the rear side of the front-seat backrests are great for storage. But they are a little too big for a small smartphone. The Enyaq resolves this with an additional little pocket that is perfect for rear passengers’ phones.

We understand that the road seems much longer if everyone is feeling dry and thirsty. That’s why there’s a special space in the front and rear door panels to store a full 1.5 litre bottle of water. It will sit there safely without getting squashed, ready for when you need it.

You are sat at the wheel, holding a parking card and a few other sundries, and you’re thinking about what to do with them so that they remain within reach but don’t get lost in the larger storage compartments. There is a pull-out compartment on the left below the steering wheel designed precisely for situations like this.

This is the first time that a Škoda is featuring a practical 11.4 l storage compartment under the centre console.
