Skoda recently revealed its latest electric vehicle, the Epiq, the second of six to be launched in the next few years. The entry-level SUV will cost under £25,000 (£21,350 to be precise) and will be released in 2025.
While full details are expected to be released in the coming months, we know that it will be 4.1 metres in length and feature up to 490 litres of luggage capacity. Skoda says the vehicle will “fully incorporate the powerful, functional and authentic new Modern Solid design language – inside and out”. This means sharp lines and detailing, as well as slim T-shaped LED lights and a smooth glossy black panel grille.
There is a targeted maximum electric range of more than 248 miles and a 10-80% charge is expected to take around 20 minutes.
Inside, Skoda says “(The design) will be complimented by a flawless digital experience, with new technologies and assistance features.” The minimalist interior focuses on durable, practical and sustainable materials. It has an open storage compartment that includes a wireless mobile phone charger and more Simply Clever storage options.
The new Skoda Epiq will be built in Pamplona, Spain alongside the Cupra Raval and Volkswagen ID.2.
The two-spoke steering wheel features new Skoda lettering, physical button and haptic scroll wheels will orange accents to control key functions while driving.
The Škoda Epiq also supports bidirectional charging that can feed excess electric energy into the customer’s home and other appliances.
Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto, commented: “The coming Škoda Epiq will package a lot of car for an attractive price and a big interior with a compact size. Our customers want choices, which is why we are expanding our growing e-mobility portfolio into this popular segment. I hope these first design teasers demonstrate that the Epiq will shine because of its modern design, everyday range and user-friendly technologies – all of it affordable.”
