Škoda Auto has revealed the name of its battery-electric city SUV crossover, along with a design study that gives a first glimpse of the new model.
The Škoda Epiq, due to be unveiled in 2025, will cost around 25,000 euros and offer a maximum electric range of more than 400 kilometres. With a length of 4.1 metres, it will have a luggage capacity of up to 490 litres.
The vehicle will feature Škoda's new Modern Solid design language - inside and out. This will be complemented by a "flawless digital experience with new technologies and assistance features", according to the company's press release.

The E at the beginning stands for a battery-electric Škoda model, while the Q at the end identifies it as a member of the brand’s SUV family. Epiq is derived from the ancient Greek word “epos”, which stands for “word” or “verse”, but also for “tale” or “poem”.
“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.” Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto, said.
The city SUV crossover will be made in Pamplona, Spain, as a joint development and production project of Volkswagen’s Brand Group Core representatives Škoda, Cupra and Volkswagen.
