At the Munich IAA Mobility 2025 show, where SPEEDME.RU reporters are on the ground, Skoda unveiled one of the most anticipated newcomers—the Epiq electric crossover. Presented as a concept vision of the brand’s most compact EV, it is slated to reach the production line in 2026 and serve as an entry point into Skoda’s electric portfolio.Developed under the new Modern Solid design philosophy, the Epiq is easy to spot thanks to a broad front end with T-shaped LED signatures and a glossy "Tech-Deck Face." A sculpted hood, matte body color, and Flashy Orange accents lend it a dynamic, contemporary look without resorting to gimmicks.Despite a 4.10-meter footprint, the cabin is promised to be spacious and packed with the familiar Simply Clever solutions. For the first time for the brand in series production, the Modern Solid interior is set to be used, with durable materials, a two-spoke steering wheel, and a clear emphasis on everyday functionality. That approach should resonate with buyers who value useful details over flash.The headline figures tell their own story: up to 400 km of range and a starting price of about €25,000. A key advantage will be bidirectional charging (V2L), allowing the car to double as a mobile power source. In the budget EV race, that capability could be the standout.Aimed at city drivers and anyone seeking an affordable, stylish EV for daily use, the Epiq will slot beneath the already announced Elroq and Enyaq, rounding out Skoda’s compact electric crossover offering. On paper, it neatly plugs the gap without stepping on its siblings’ toes.Skoda Auto CEO Klaus Zellmer said the Epiq’s task is to make electric cars as mainstream as possible, stressing that customers want choice and that Epiq would blend modern design with practical driving range and accessible pricing. The message comes across as pragmatic, focused on what people actually need.IAA Mobility 2025 underscored how carmakers are pivoting toward electrifying the budget end of the market. While premium marques chase luxury and headline tech, Skoda with the Epiq is signaling that an electric crossover can be straightforward, easy to live with, and, crucially, within reach for most buyers.
