Summary
The Skoda Epiq is a small all-electric SUV/crossover that will be arriving in the UK sometime in 2026, posing a sales challenge to the likes of the Citroën ë-C3 and Fiat Grande Panda Electric.
The compact EV is yet to enter production, so not much known about it at the time of writing, but it is likely to become the entry-level electric model in Skoda’s range when it does eventually arrive in UK showrooms, sitting below the Skoda Elroq SUV that arrived on British roads in 2025.
While fellow Volkswagen Group brands have decided to target this budget EV category with hatchback models, such as the Volkswagen ID.2 and Cupra Raval, Skoda has instead decided to give the Epiq more ground clearance and thick SUV-style bumper cladding, and refers to this new model as a ‘city SUV’. The crossover is about as long as the brand’s Fabia supermini.
We will update this page with a full Expert Rating breakdown once the car has a sufficient set of UK review scores, and when we have safety, running costs and warranty data to report. Check back soon!
