Skoda tells us that the 4.1m long Epiq city SUV crossover is its first model to fully adopt the brand’s new ‘modern solid’ design language – both inside and out. This means the new baby crossover gets a glossy black ‘tech-deck face’ like we’ve seen before, although here it’s framed by T-shaped LED daytime running lights and turn indicators. Compared with the bigger Elroq and Enyaq EVs, the headlights sit lower, accentuating the chunky front bumper with its spoiler finished here in Cosmo grey. At the side, a new tornado line cleverly visually separates the body sections, gives this Skoda distinctively strong shoulders (our favourite part of this design), and distinguishes the glass cabin from the rest of the car – which Skoda describes as creating a dynamic and contemporary look.
Inside, the Epiq focuses on usability and everyday practicality. As a result, it offers generous storage options and clever luggage solutions, including bag hooks, fasteners, and hidden underfloor compartments. The interior is minimalist and functional, reflecting Skoda’s ‘mobile first’ approach, it features wireless phone charging, ‘Simply Clever’ compartments, as well as physical buttons and haptic scroll wheels. Skoda believes this mix of practicality and smart design will ensure that the Epiq meets the needs of both families and lifestyle-oriented customers.
Despite its compact dimensions, Skoda claims the Epiq can seat five passengers comfortably and offers the practicality of an impressive 475-litre boot.
The Epiq shares its MEB Entry architecture as the Volkswagen ID Polo and ID Cross, and Cupra Raval, that were revealed at the same time as this Skoda. It will be powered by a 208hp motor on the front axle, with an expected range of 264 miles.
Prices are not confirmed, but when the production version of the Epiq is expected to go on-sale in the UK in mid-2026, Business Car was told prices would be comparable to the ICE-powered Kamiq SUV, which should mean around a £25,000 starting figure.
