​One of our favourite EVs, the Skoda Enyaq, has been removed from Motability’s list of eligible vehicles. The change came as of 31 October 2026 and means that there is one fewer large SUV to choose from for those looking to lease through the scheme.

Motability is a not-for-profit organisation responsible for providing vehicles to more than 700,000 lease customers. Its leasing scheme allows those receiving higher or enhanced mobility allowance to exchange it in favour of leasing cars, wheelchair-accessible vehicles, and powered wheelchairs at reduced rates with included insurance, servicing, breakdown assistance and tyres.

We recommended the Enyaq to would-be Motability clients in our list of best electric options for its ample space, plentiful options for battery and powertrain, and civilised road manners. With seating for up to five fully grown adults and an excellent boot capacity of 585 litres, there’s plenty of space for the whole family plus a folded wheelchair in the boot. But, sadly, the Skoda Enyaq has now been taken off the list! 

The Enyaq-shaped hole in the list of Motability-eligible cars means that there are now only 12 options available to those looking for a “large SUV”. Worse yet, only three of those options are electric in the Peugeot E-5008, Nissan Ariya, and Volkswagen ID.5.

Users of the Which Mobility Car forum were quick to point out that they had received calls to inform them that their Enyaq orders wouldn’t be completed. One user lamented that very few electric SUVs would be able to handle the 150kg boot hoist they needed for their wheelchair.

There were rumours of the new Skoda Peaq coming in to fill the gap left by its little brother, but the Motability scheme is yet to bring it on board leaving many scheme users wondering what to do for their next accessible car.
