Overview
- Journalists drove camouflaged Epiq prototypes around Porto, reporting composed ride quality, tidy refinement and light, less engaging steering.
- The compact crossover is built on Volkswagen Group’s new MEB+ platform with a front‑mounted single motor and serves as the electric counterpart to the Kamiq.
- Top “55” variant is quoted at 208bhp with a claimed 267‑mile range and up to 133kW DC charging for a 10–80% top‑up in about 23 minutes.
- Entry models use an LFP battery with a claimed 193‑mile range and lower DC rates (up to 50–90kW depending on trim), reflecting a tiered approach to cost and capability.
- Practicality and kit include a 13‑inch infotainment screen, a digital driver display, recycled materials, a 475‑litre boot (1,344 litres seats‑down), an optional 18‑litre frunk and available V2L/V2H, with pricing expected to target parity with the petrol Kamiq and rivals such as the Renault 4, Kia EV2 and Fiat Grande Panda Electric.
