Hello all,

So i am in a canundrum. I am going to buy a new car (EV) and of course want to buy something from which the EU benefits. I am considering the Skoda Enyaq and the Cupra Tavascan. Both car brands are part of the VW group, which is a European company. However, I found out that the Cupra is built is Hefei, China, while the Skoda is built in Czechia which is of course in europe. The Cupra is in fact more equipped than the Skoda while also being cheaper. This may of course in part be explained by where they are built. How do you guys feel about this?

Thanks for your insights in advance!

    The skoda is assembled in Czechia, but the parts come from all over the place including china. You won’t find a fully european car.

    Honestly I’d go with whatever car suits you the most.

    Though I wanna urge you to reconsider choosing an suv and go with something eco-friendly instead

      with something eco-friendly

      The Enyaq is absolutely about as eco friendly as it gets. It’s very energy efficient and has good aerodynamics.
      We can’t all drive around in stupid Fiat 500 cars that suck balls because they are from Stellantis.

        As eco friendly as it gets? A vehicle that weighs at least 2 tons, which also want to be decelerated from time to time? Come on man.
