Mladá Boleslav, 19 May 2026 – 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.

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.

Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto
 

With the Epiq, we are addressing customers who are looking for a straightforward and attractive entry into electric mobility. The model combines compact dimensions with a surprisingly spacious interior, including a 475 litre luggage compartment, and a design focused on functionality. It delivers the quality and Simply Clever solutions our customers expect from Škoda, along with new features such as bidirectional charging. The Epiq is designed to fit naturally into daily life, whether in the city or beyond, making it an attractive choice for new customers as well as those already familiar with the brand.

Škoda Epiq

Škoda Epiq

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. Optimized 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.

Exterior

The design is defined by clean lines, clarity and refined details. In addition to the glossy black Tech-Deck Face, a key element is the new T-shaped light signature, which will also characterise future Škoda SUV models. The Epiq’s compact appearance balances distinctiveness and practicality with a spacious interior. At the same time, aerodynamically optimised features contribute to a drag coefficient of 0.275, supporting efficient energy use.

Interior

The Škoda Epiq offers a spacious, functional interior, complemented by a 475-litre boot and additional storage solutions, including a 25-litre front luggage compartment, known as frunk.1 The clear, intuitive interior layout follows the Modern Solid design philosophy. Durable materials, intuitive controls and a wide range of Simply Clever features enhance everyday practicality.

Battery and powertrain variants

The Škoda Epiq is available with two traction battery sizes and three power variants, all combined with front‑wheel drive. The MEB+ platform allows the use of lighter batteries, reducing energy consumption while also improving space efficiency in the interior. Depending on the configuration, the Epiq offers a range of around 440 kilometres and fast DC charging from 10 to 80 per cent in approximately 24 minutes, and comes with 11 kW AC charging as standard. In addition, the Epiq supports bidirectional charging, enabling the energy stored in the battery to be used externally or, depending on infrastructure, supplied to a household or the grid. The Epiq also enables full one-pedal driving in B mode, with switchable regeneration intensity.

Safety and assistance systems

The Epiq comes equipped with a comprehensive range of safety and driver assistance systems typically found in higher vehicle segments. Many are standard, including Front Assist, Side Assist, Lane Assist and Traffic Sign Recognition. Optional systems such as Travel Assist 3.0 further enhance assisted driving capabilities. Occupant safety is supported by seven airbags as standard, including a centre airbag.

Connectivity

Connectivity in the Škoda Epiq is centred around an Android-based infotainment system and a 13" centre display. The system offers extensive personalisation options, online services and access to a dedicated app store. The MyŠkoda app enables remote access to vehicle information, charging management and selected comfort functions.
