Skoda has announced that the Epiq EV will debut internationally on May 19, 2026. The Epiq shares its MEB+ platform with the Volkswagen ID Polo and is Skoda’s smallest EV, positioned below the Elroq. Alongside the unveil date, the Czech manufacturer has shared some exterior and interior design sketches that give a glimpse at its design.
- First Skoda EV with ‘Modern Solid’ design language
- Interior design is similar to the Volkswagen ID Polo
- It will offer up to 425km of claimed range
The Skoda Epiq was first showcased in a concept avatar in 2024, after which a near-production version of the concept was displayed at the 2025 Munich motor show.
Skoda Epiq interior design and features
The touchscreen and centre console buttons look similar to the ID Polo
The interior design sketch of the Skoda Epiq looks similar to the 2025 Munich motor show’s near-production concept. It is minimalistic with a small digital driver’s display, a central touchscreen infotainment system, and buttons on the centre console for the AC controls. In fact, the infotainment and the climate control buttons look similar to those on the Volkswagen ID Polo. As the platform is shared, the Epiq could borrow a 13-inch infotainment system and even a 10.24-inch driver’s display from the Volkswagen sibling. The steering wheel is a 2-spoke unit, which is similar to the Kodiaq and Kushaq available in India.
While Skoda is yet to reveal the full feature suite, it has confirmed that a wireless phone charger and ambient lighting will be offered with the Epiq. The Czech manufacturer has also revealed that it can “seat five passengers comfortably” while offering a claimed 475-litre boot space.

The Epiq features a ‘Tech Deck’ face with T-shaped LED DRLs on either side that function as the turn indicators as well. Beneath the DRLs are the sleek cube-shaped projector LED headlights. The front bumper features eight slats with a silver trim on the lower side for added contrast. As per Skoda, it will measure 4.1 metres in length.
In profile, it gets black cladding on wheel arches and lower sections of the body. The outside rearview mirrors (ORVMs) are finished in a body-coloured hue, while the roof rails are black. At the rear, the Epiq features T-shaped tail-lights and a roof-mounted spoiler. The rear bumper also undergoes the same 8-slat treatment as the front bumper.
Skoda Epiq powertrain details
It will have a claimed range of up to 425km
Skoda is yet to reveal the Epiq’s powertrain details, except for a claimed range of 425km. As it shares the MEB+ (also called the MEB Entry) platform with the ID Polo, it could be equipped with the same 34kWh and 54kWh battery packs.
Skoda has confirmed that the Epiq will be priced similarly to the combustion-powered Kamiq, which currently costs 25,535 pounds in the UK market, which converts to over Rs 32 lakh before taxes and duties. While there is no word regarding its India debut, if launched, it will lock horns with the Hyundai Creta Electric, Mahindra BE 6, Maruti e Vitara and Tata Curvv EV.
