Overview
- Skoda has started production of the compact Epiq at Volkswagen Group’s Navarra plant in Spain, positioning it as the brand’s most affordable electric SUV at around €26,000.
- The Epiq is built on Volkswagen Group’s MEB family technology with MEB+ developments, offers multiple power outputs from about 85 kW to 155 kW, fast‑charging capability and a top WLTP range of about 441 km.
- Skoda published initial exterior sketches and aerodynamic teasers for the flagship Peaq and has scheduled a global unveiling on 23 June 2026 in Monnetier‑Mornex, France.
- The Peaq is a circa‑5.0‑metre, seven‑seat flagship riding on the MEB architecture with three confirmed powertrain options (Peaq 60, Peaq 90 and dual‑motor 90x) and claimed ranges above 460 km for entry models and over 600 km for higher‑capacity variants.
- Both models use Skoda’s new Modern Solid design language and shared MEB underpinnings to cut development cost and complexity, a strategy that could widen EV adoption by offering a lower‑cost compact and a higher‑margin large SUV for different buyer needs.
