Škoda Epiq: the new all-electric entry model
Compact, clever, confident: the all-new Škoda Epiq extends Škoda Auto’s successful electric portfolio into the entry-level segment, combining compact dimensions with a spacious interior and high everyday usability. In its base variant, the Epiq achieves price parity with its ICE counterpart, the Kamiq, in many markets, making it the most affordable fully electric Škoda model and bringing the brand’s electric vehicles within reach of an even broader group of customers. The city SUV crossover plays a key role in Škoda’s electric portfolio and, together with the Peaq, will double the brand’s all-electric model range. Developed within the Brand Group Core, the Epiq supports the Volkswagen Group’s competitive positioning in the important compact, high-volume electric segment.
Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto, says: “The Epiq is our most approachable step into electric mobility – compact, confident, unmistakably Škoda, and designed to deliver exceptional value for money. It sets a clear benchmark for what an entry-level electric model should be: clean, purposeful design, intuitive user experience, and genuine everyday value. As our first series-production model to fully adopt the Modern Solid design language, the Epiq brings technologies from higher vehicle segments into an accessible package. Developed as part of the Brand Group Core’s Electric Urban Car Family, it shows how shared development can create a highly attractive offer in a highly competitive segment, while further strengthening the Škoda brand.”
The Epiq is the first Škoda model to be built on the new MEB+ platform and the brand’s first all-electric model with front-wheel drive. Optimised for a new generation of compact electric vehicles, the platform combines reduced weight with high efficiency. With a range of around 440 kilometres and fast charging capabilities, the Epiq is suited to both city driving and longer journeys. The compact SUV crossover features typical Škoda values such as spaciousness and practicality, and the 475-litre luggage compartment is among the largest in its class. An attractive price-to-value proposition makes electric mobility accessible to an even wider range of customers, and the distinctive design incorporates all elements of the new Modern Solid design language for the first time in a Škoda production model.
The new Škoda Epiq expands Škoda’s all-electric line-up in the important entry-level segment, providing customers with an even broader electric portfolio to choose from. Developed as part of the Brand Group Core’s European Urban Car Family, the Epiq benefits from shared development and economies of scale, enabling Škoda to offer advanced electric technology at an attractive price point to a broad customer base.
