Exterior: the first Škoda production model to fully incorporate
the Modern Solid design language

› The Epiq introduces a new T-shaped light signature for Škoda SUV models
› A wide range of aerodynamic features enables a drag coefficient of just 0.275
› The large panoramic roof with electric sunblind enhances the light, airy feel of the interior

Mladá Boleslav, 14 September 2026 – The all-new Epiq is the first Škoda model to fully incorporate the new Modern Solid design language. Its distinctive look is defined by clear lines that convey functionality and authenticity. The Epiq’s T-shaped light signature, making its debut on a Škoda production model, is set to become another defining visual element of the Czech car manufacturer’s design language, alongside the glossy black Tech-Deck Face. A wide range of aerodynamic features enables the Epiq to achieve an impressive drag coefficient of just 0.275.

The Epiq is the first Škoda production model to fully embody the Modern Solid design language. Clean lines, the glossy black Tech-Deck Face, and the new T-shaped light signature give it a clearly recognisable and modern character without compromising functionality. We have combined compact exterior dimensions with a spacious, clearly structured interior to create a vehicle that looks confident, authentic, and unmistakably Škoda.

Oliver Stefani, Head of Škoda Design

The exterior of the all-new Škoda Epiq fully embraces the new Modern Solid design language. Minimalist design and clean lines create a distinctive, functional appearance.

For the first time on a Škoda production model, the front end is defined by slim T-shaped headlights, which frame the characteristic glossy black Tech-Deck Face. This defining element will gradually be adopted across future Škoda SUV models. Vertical air intakes integrated into the front bumper, first introduced with the Vision 7S concept, are part of the new front-end layout.

The side view emphasises the Epiq’s confident stance, with a high-set shoulder line and a wide lower body. Details such as the roof rails reinforce this strong visual presence.

In line with the Modern Solid design language, the rear section follows a minimalist approach. Slim T-shaped rear lights frame the Škoda lettering, and the rear bumper repeats the pattern of the vertical air intakes, echoing the front-end design.

The front headlights are available in two LED versions. The standard version combines daytime running lights and turn indicators in the upper section, while the lower section incorporates dipped- and full-beam functions in a single LED unit. The Epiq can optionally be equipped with LED Matrix headlights with 12 light segments, which automatically prevent glare for oncoming traffic when the full beam is active. The system offers four adaptive lighting modes (for city driving, country roads, motorways, and adverse weather conditions) and can also be adapted for left-hand traffic.

The rear lights also feature the distinctive T-shaped signature of the Modern Solid design language. As at the front, two LED-based versions are available, both providing all lighting functions using LED technology.

The all-new Škoda Epiq has a drag coefficient of just 0.275, thanks to a range of features designed to optimise airflow around the vehicle and reduce energy consumption.

Active cooling shutters behind the front bumper open automatically when cooling is required for the battery system. When cooling demand is low, they close to reduce drag. Aerodynamic efficiency is further supported by the wheels and by Air Curtain channels that direct airflow around the front bumper and wheels. Additional measures include a cover that reduces the gap between the tyre and wheel arch, keeping airflow closer to the body, aerodynamic wheel trims, and an extensively optimised underbody that allows air to flow smoothly beneath the vehicle.

At the rear, a diffuser with an aerodynamic spoiler element helps guide underbody airflow smoothly away from the vehicle, further reducing turbulence. It works together with the aerodynamically optimised roofline, roof spoiler, and integrated finlets. Further airflow optimisation is achieved through aerodynamic edges on the rear lights and fins positioned at the rear of the wheel-arch cladding.
