Good News for Those Interested in the Škoda Enyaq

Hi,

I hope you’re well. Mark and I are contacting you today on behalf of Miles Škoda as we have good news regarding an earlier-than-expected shipment of Škoda Enyaq vehicles.

The Enyaq story has been a unique one for us. Make yourself a tea or coffee and read on…

3 March 2023: The Price

The Enyaq is our first fully electric SUV (well, in modern times!) and was initially launched with a price-point from $92,990 plus on-road costs. The pricier end of the Škoda range, but those who read the specsheet and saw the vehicle on its launch tour soon learnt that this was a premium vehicle.

Having said that, this placed the entry-model above the government’s $80,000 Clean Car Rebate threshold.

But then…

7 June 2023: The Limited Launch Price

On arriving to work, we opened an email that completely changed the game for the Enyaq’s launch. The executive team at Škoda New Zealand announced – after long but successful negotiations with Škoda’s global office – a new, limited run only, price for the Enyaq range.

A Launch Edition Enyaq Sportline 80 would now be priced at $79,990 drive away, with the Sportline Max 80 now $84,990 drive away, and Coupé Sportline Max at $89,990 driveaway.

With this news, the Enyaq Sportline 80 would now qualify for the full $7,015 Clean Car rebate, meaning that the effective price of an Enyaq had dropped from $92,990 plus on-road costs to an incredible $72,975 after the rebate.

That’s an unprecedented drop of over $20,000! We very excitedly announced this to our customers and the enquiry started rolling in. 

But then…

23 August 2023: National Confirms Plan to Cancel Clean Car Rebate

While pledging to roll out 10,000 new charging stations, National announced that they would end the Clean Car Program by 31 December 2023 if they came into power.

This is a concern for us and our Enyaq buyers as our customer-ordered vehicles weren’t expected to arrive until 2024. As the rebate can only be applied by the customer on registering the vehicle for the first time, this would mean they no longer receive a rebate.

But then…!

15 September 2023: Enyaq Due to Arrive Early!

This brings us to this week. The awesome team at Škoda New Zealand have worked their magic again, with news that a shipment of Škoda Enyaqs will now be arriving as early as 28 October 2023.

If we can get these into our customers’ hands, they can claim the full $7,015 rebate while it’s still available before a potential change of government.

These vehicles aren’t ‘pre-allocated’ to each Škoda dealership in the country. We’d love to be able to secure as many Enyaqs for our own customers as possible before 31 Dec 2023.

So – to the crux of this message – if you’re interested in securing an Enyaq before the end of the year, with higher confidence that you’d be able to claim $7,015 back in the rebate (depending on whether the government does actually change) AND noting that this vehicle was originally priced from $92,990 +ORC, then now is very much the time to act.

Be aware that Škoda dealers around the country have this news at the same time as us and all are calling their customers today to secure stock!
