Skoda Epiq to enter production in 2026 and it will slot below the Enyaq in the brand’s global lineup
Skoda has taken the wraps off its Epiq show car – a compact all-electric city SUV that previews its most affordable EV yet. Positioned to enter production in 2026, the Epiq will slot below the Enyaq in the brand’s global lineup and hopes to bring electrification to a wider range of customers. The unveiling took place during the Volkswagen Group’s media workshop ahead of the IAA in Munich.
The Skoda Epiq measures 4.1 metres in length and offer 475 litres of boot space. A further highlight is its driving range – claimed at up to 425 km on a single charge. Pricing for the production model is expected to be comparable to Skoda’s Kamiq. It is the first model to fully embrace the brand’s Modern Solid design language.
The exterior wears Cashmere matt paintwork accompanied by a glossy black face and T-shaped LED lighting signatures. Strong shoulders are defined by a sharp tornado line and a contrasting glasshouse. Step inside the cabin and the Epiq is said to give weight to everyday usability as it has been designed around versatile luggage solutions.
It features hidden underfloor compartments, bag hooks and fastening points. The minimalist dashboard integrates wireless phone charging, haptic scroll wheels and physical controls. In keeping with the brand’s digital first philosophy, the Epiq gets latest connectivity options and advanced assistance systems.
The interior emphasises space, simplicity and comfort without straying into over-styled territory. The production model will be manufactured at Volkswagen’s Navarra plant in Spain – forming part of the Electric Urban Car Family project under the Brand Group Core.
Alongside Skoda, SEAT, CUPRA and Volkswagen will also launch compact EVs under this initiative – focussing on affordability through shared development and economies of scale. VW has unveiled the ID.CROSS concept as well which will give rise to a production-spec version of the compact electric SUV sometime next year.
For Skoda, the Epiq indicates a decisive move into the entry-level electric SUV segment. As for India, the company is currently working on the facelifted avatar of the Kushaq midsize SUV and it recently brought in the Kylaq ICE compact SUV.
