At the 2025 Munich Motor Show, Skoda unveiled the first details of the Epiq, its brand-new compact electric SUV.
Skoda Epiq is the production version of the concept introduced in 2024, marking Skoda’s first tangible step in its comprehensive electrification strategy. Production is slated for Volkswagen’s Navarra plant in Spain, with customer deliveries expected by mid-2026.
The Epiq introduces Skoda’s Modern Solid design language, emphasizing modernity, sustainability, and user-friendliness. The front fascia features sleek T-shaped LED headlights, a closed grille, and a minimalist raised-letter logo. The side profile boasts bold creases for a robust, dynamic look, complemented by Cosmo side skirts, Cashmere matte gray paint, and glossy black accents for a premium finish.
Measuring 4,100 mm in length, the Skoda Epiq is 125 mm shorter than the Kushaq, making it the smallest in Skoda’s electric SUV lineup, positioned below the Elroq and Enyaq. Its compact design is tailored for European urban environments, where B and C-segment vehicles dominate regional sales.
Despite its compact size, the Skoda Epiq is expected to uphold the Czech brand’s tradition of maximizing interior space and practicality. The cabin will feature recycled materials, a minimalist design, and comprehensive digitalization. A digital instrument cluster, large central touchscreen, and intuitive touch controls with over-the-air (OTA) updates enhance the user experience.
While detailed electric powertrain specifications remain undisclosed, European media reports suggest the Epiq will be built on the MEB Entry platform. It will feature a front-axle electric motor delivering 208 horsepower. With an estimated range of 425 km per charge, it’s well-suited for daily urban commuting.
The Skoda Epiq is anticipated to launch at a price comparable to gasoline-powered SUVs like the Kamiq, ranging from $29,700 to $33,700 (782.74 – 888 million VND). This pricing strategy is seen as groundbreaking, as many electric vehicles currently remain significantly more expensive than their traditional counterparts in the same segment.
