New Skoda Epiq: modern with range

AUTOMOTIVE 07.02.2026

Skoda’s Epiq is the first series‑production vehicle to fully adopt the brand’s new Modern Solid design language. Previewed as a show car in September 2025, the compact city SUV rides on Volkswagen’s MEB Entry platform and measures around 4.1 metres in length. Despite its small footprint, it seats five and provides a generous 475‑litre boot. Skoda aims to offer an affordable electric alternative to its conventional Kamiq with a targeted starting price of about €25,000. Production is slated to begin in Navarra, Spain, with sales expected in late 2026.

Different battery sizes (around 38 kWh to 56 kWh) will deliver a WLTP range of up to 425 km. The platform is shared with the upcoming VW ID.Polo and Cupra Raval, ensuring competitive efficiency and low running costs. Externally, the Epiq is defined by its Tech‑Deck face with T‑shaped LED daytime running lights and a pronounced tornado line along the flanks. Cashmere matte paintwork combines with black accents to convey robustness.

Inside, Skoda follows a “Mobile First” philosophy with a minimalist dashboard, wireless charging and physical buttons. Clever details include bag hooks, straps and underfloor storage. The Epiq’s mixture of accessible pricing, practical range and generous space positions it as a gateway EV for urban families and first‑time electric buyers. The model underscores the brand’s commitment to sustainable mobility by using recycled materials while showing how Modern Solid will shape future Skoda vehicles.
