VW Group owned Skoda has revealed the name of its battery-electric city SUV crossover, along with a design study showing a first glimpse of the new model. The Skoda Epiq, due to be unveiled in 2025, will cost around 25,000 euros. Production for the European market is expected to be underway by 2026.

The city SUV crossover will be made in Pamplona, Spain, as a joint development and production project of Volkswagen’s Brand Group Core representatives Skoda, Cupra and Volkswagen.

The Skoda Elroq, a battery-electric compact SUV, will be the first vehicle to be launched as part of the upcoming electric model campaign for the brand, with its debut scheduled for later this year.

At 4.1 metres in length, Skoda says its Epiq city SUV crossover will have plenty of space for five people and a luggage capacity of up to 490 litres. With an entry-level price starting at around 25,000 euros, it is described as the perfect choice for customers new to electric mobility.

Oliver Stefani, Head of Skoda Design said: “Our new design language – Modern Solid – represents the next level of modernity. Smart functionality and practicality are harmoniously balanced by attractive new looks and our sustainability approach. The Skoda Epiq design study perfectly embodies all the key attributes of the new design language.”
