Škoda has announced that its entry-level electric vehicle (EV), the Epiq, will launch within the first half of 2026 and will offer a range of 267 miles.
The Epiq will be priced similarly to the internal combustion (ICE) Kamiq, and will be built on the same MEB+ platform as the upcoming Volkswagen ID. Polo and Cupra Raval.
Three variants will be offered, the 35, 40 and 55. The 35 and 40 will offer 116PS and 135PS respectively, as well as 196 miles of range.
The Epiq 55 will have 267 miles of range, 211PS, and the ability to charge from 10% to 80% in 23 minutes.
Klaus Zellmer, CEO at Škoda Auto, said: “Škoda is making electromobility even more accessible with the Epiq, as it becomes the third model in our growing all-electric portfolio.
“This smart SUV crossover marks a significant expansion of our range, combining attractive design, generous space and affordability to appeal to entirely new customer groups.
“With pricing in many markets comparable to the combustion-engine Kamiq, customers gain true freedom of choice in terms of both powertrain and vehicle style.
“The Epiq builds on Škoda’s strong momentum in electric mobility. In 2025, the Elroq ranked as the second best-selling EV in Europe, while the Enyaq secured seventh place, giving Škoda two models in the European EV Top 5 and placing the brand fourth overall among fully electric vehicles.
“With the Epiq, we are set to continue and accelerate this success story.”
The Škoda Epiq will have 475 litres of boot capacity, 75 litres more than the ICE Škoda Kamiq.
The interior will have a 5.3-inch driver’s display and a 13-inch central display, as well as seats made of 100% recycles PES textilles.
Oliver Stefani, chief designer at Škoda Auto, said: “The Škoda Epiq is a milestone model in the evolution of Škoda’s design.
“It is the first production model fully incorporate all elements of the new Modern Solid design language.
“The minimalist concept combines sophisticated details that enhance the SUV’s appearance, combining distinctive style with practicality.
“For the first time, a new T-shaped light signature is used on a Škoda production car and will become the signature lighting feature of other models in the future.
“The sustainable interior has also been completely redesigned, with clean lines that evoke a feeling of trust and cosiness.”
