Mladá Boleslav, 15 March 2024 – In an electrifying reveal, Škoda Auto charged up the anticipation for its latest venture into electric mobility with the announcement of the Škoda Epiq, a battery-electric marvel poised to redefine city driving. Slated for a 2025 debut, the Epiq is not just a vehicle; it’s Škoda’s pledge to offer more for less – all at a wallet-friendly price of about 25,000 euros (INR 22.57 lakh).
Spanning 4.1 metres in length, the Epiq is designed to conquer the urban jungle with ease. It boasts a roomy interior and an impressive luggage capacity of up to 490 litres, ensuring that space is never a compromise. Encapsulating the essence of Škoda’s new Modern Solid design language, the Epiq is a symphony of powerful aesthetics, functional ingenuity, and undeniable authenticity.

This city SUV crossover is a compact package of modern design, everyday practicality, and innovative tech – all designed to make a big impression.”
Further distinguishing the Epiq are its electric credentials, promising an enviable range of over 400 km. This, combined with its entry-level pricing, positions the Epiq as an ideal choice for those new to electric mobility or seeking an environmentally friendly alternative without breaking the bank.
Oliver Stefani, Head of Škoda Design, detailed the thought process behind the Epiq’s creation, “Our Modern Solid design language is about moving forward, balancing smart functionality with practicality, and doing so with style. The Epiq embodies this philosophy, melding classic Škoda attributes with a fresh, sustainable approach.”
Beyond its stunning exterior, the Epiq promises a minimalist yet functional interior, decked out with new technologies and connectivity features. Škoda’s “mobile first” approach ensures that the Epiq is as user-friendly as it is innovative, offering a seamless digital experience for drivers and passengers alike.
As Škoda gears up for an electrifying future, the Epiq stands as a bold statement of the brand’s vision – a vehicle that’s not just epic by name, but also by nature. With plans to introduce six new electric vehicles in the coming years, Škoda is on a fast track to electrifying its lineup, starting with the Epiq and its promise of an unparalleled blend of space, technology, and affordability.
