- First Skoda model on the new front-wheel-drive MEB+ platform for small EVs.
- Three outputs: 85kW, 99kW and 155kW; top version pairs with a 55kWh battery.
- Up to 430km WLTP range and 10 to 80% DC charging in 23 minutes (max 133kW).
Skoda’s smallest electric SUV is no longer just a stylish concept with good intentions. As its global reveal approaches in the first half of 2026, the Czech brand has now detailed exactly what the production Epiq will bring to the table, and it’s more substantial than its 4.1m footprint suggests.
First previewed last year as a show car, the Epiq is positioned as Skoda’s most affordable EV and the entry point to a rapidly expanding electric range. Pricing in many markets is expected to sit close to the combustion-powered Kamiq, reinforcing its role as an accessible urban crossover rather than a tech showcase.
MEB+, front-drive and up to 430km range
The production Epiq becomes the first Skoda to use Volkswagen Group’s new MEB+ platform for smaller EVs.
Unlike larger rear-drive MEB models, the Epiq adopts a front-wheel-drive layout aimed at maximising cabin space and reducing weight.
Three power outputs will be offered: 85kW and 99kW variants paired with a 38.5kWh LFP battery, and a flagship 155kW version using a 55kWh NMC battery. The latter delivers a claimed WLTP range of up to 430km and can charge from 10 to 80% in 23 minutes at up to 133kW DC.
Despite its compact size (4171mm long), boot space stands at 475 litres, notably larger than a Kamiq, expanding to 1344 litres with the rear seats folded.
Modern Solid goes production
The Epiq will also be the first production Skoda to fully adopt the brand’s new Modern Solid design language. That includes the Tech-Deck Face front mask and a distinctive T-shaped LED lighting signature front and rear.
Inside, a 13-inch central touchscreen sits alongside a 5.3-inch driver display, while recycled materials feature heavily across the trim options. Seven airbags come standard, alongside Travel Assist 3.0 and a new Cross Assist 2.0 blind-intersection warning system.
Skoda has already found momentum in Europe’s EV rankings with the Enyaq and Elroq. The Epiq now shapes up as the brand’s play for the urban electric mainstream, and with its unveiling just weeks away, it’s about to move from promise to product.
