Compact car, big potential: meet the all-new Škoda Epiq

The electric car revolution is no longer just about early adopters or the tech elite. It is about practical, accessible brilliance; vehicles designed to fit perfectly into your daily routine, not the other way around.

That is precisely where the Škoda Epiq steps in: a car built to combine striking style, substance, and capability, all while keeping city driving remarkably simple.

From the moment you first lay eyes on the Epiq, it is clear that Škoda has taken a distinctive approach to its all-new compact electric SUV. It doesn't hide in the background, instead making a definitive statement with a look that is both robust and modern – bringing a fresh, confident energy to the road. Best of all, its cleverly scaled dimensions mean zipping through tight urban streets or navigating busy multi-storey car parks is an absolute breeze.

However, the real story unfolds once you open the door. Despite the Epiq’s neat exterior dimensions, you’ll find the cabin is designed as a masterclass in space efficiency. Proof that compact doesn’t have to mean cramped, the baby SUV boasts a 475-litre boot, ranking among the largest in its class.

Whether you are loading up for a major weekly shop, packing for a weekend getaway, or simply managing the clutter of daily life, the functional layout will easily accommodate your needs. And when you need to upsize your carrying capacity, just fold the rear seats down to unlock an impressive 1,345 litres of versatile storage.

The cabin environment focuses squarely on a modern, technology-led experience. Centred around a crisp 13-inch touchscreen display, it puts key controls right at your fingertips. Paired with a clean, ergonomic digital cockpit, the interior delivers an intuitive, uncluttered space to make every journey feel completely effortless.

Beneath that standout styling lies a powertrain tuned for real-world flexibility. Achieving a WLTP combined range of up to 272 miles*, the Epiq is ready to handle far more than just the daily school run or local commute. When it is time to recharge, rapid DC charging takes the battery from 10% to 80% in under 25 minutes, keeping your progress smooth and seamless.

At launch, models are available paired with the larger 55kWh battery for drivers seeking maximum long-distance capability and extended range between stops. For shorter urban commutes, an ultra-accessible 38kWh variant will join the lineup soon – an entry-point that delivers budget-friendly all-electric ownership without sacrificing any of the car's core character or clever packaging.

Choosing your ideal Epiq is just as straightforward, with a streamlined range structured around two distinct specifications: the generously equipped SE L and the enhanced Edition. While the SE L brings essentials like LED lighting, rear parking sensors and advanced driver assistance systems, stepping up to the Edition introduces added creature comforts such as heated front seats, a heated multifunction steering wheel, and a wireless smartphone charging pad.

Škoda has also infused the cabin with smart connectivity and innovative functionality. Beyond standard smartphone integration, the vehicle supports bidirectional charging** – turning the high-voltage battery into a mobile power source capable of running household appliances or outdoor equipment off the grid. Paired with features such as a Mobile Digital Key**, it's designed to feel like a natural extension of your personal tech setup.

With a starting price that positions practical electric mobility well within reach, the Škoda Epiq shapes up as an exceptionally compelling package. Combining high utility, smart technology, and eye-catching design, it’s a family-focused car that has been built to exceed your expectations.
