Skoda Unveils Epiq City SUV: A New Era for the Brand
Czech automaker Skoda is making headlines with its upcoming Epiq City SUV, a significant step forward for the brand. This model is the first to fully embrace the Modern Solid design language and the first to be built on the advanced MEB+ platform.
Design and Features
Though Skoda is keeping the Epiq's design details under wraps, they've shared some standout features. Expect a distinctive T-shaped light signature and O-shaped front bumper air intakes with active shutters for enhanced aerodynamics, complemented by air curtains integrated along the Volcano line. Inside, the cabin features a 5.3-inch display for driving data and a 13-inch central touchscreen for infotainment.
The Epiq City SUV will come in three trim levels—Studio, Loft, and Suite—each offering varied materials like 100% recycled PES, Techtona, and Suedia in multiple color options.
Electric Motor and Charging Capabilities
Skoda offers the Epiq in three variants: Epiq 35, Epiq 40, and Epiq 55, each outfitted with a new electric motor paired with different battery capacities. The base Epiq 35 boasts a 38.5 kWh lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery delivering a 196-mile (315 km) range. The Epiq 40 uses the same battery and motor with slightly improved performance.
The flagship Epiq 55 features a more powerful motor and a larger 55 kWh nickel-manganese-cobalt (NMC) battery, enabling a 267-mile (430 km) driving range. All variants support 11 kW AC charging and DC fast charging with power levels of 50, 90, or 133 kW, depending on the model.
Price and Availability
Positioned as Skoda's most affordable fully electric SUV, the Epiq's pricing aligns closely with the internal combustion engine Kamiq, making it a competitive choice in key markets.
Notably spacious, the Epiq offers a 475-liter trunk—75 liters larger than the ICE Kamiq. With rear seats upright, cargo space totals 1,344 liters, expanding to 2,544 liters when folded down.
Conclusion
The Skoda Epiq City SUV ushers in a fresh chapter with innovative features, competitive pricing, and solid electric range. It’s set to make a strong impact in the electric SUV segment. Watch for more updates as Skoda prepares for its official debut later this year.
