New Skoda Epiq variant unveiled

The Skoda Epiq Sportline, a new trim of the Skoda Epiq electric urban SUV, is set to debut at the 2026 Paris Motor Show. The vehicle will be presented at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles in Hall 4, alongside the brand's new family electric SUV, the Peaq. Skoda announced the unveiling in a communiqué dated October 8, 2026, with the press day scheduled for October 12, followed by the public opening from October 13 to 18.

Epiq Sportline design and positioning

The Epiq Sportline is a more expressive variant of the Epiq, which is based on the MEB+ platform of the Volkswagen group. The Epiq measures about 4.17 meters and is positioned against models such as the Renault 4 E-Tech, Fiat 600e, and Kia EV2. It features a compact silhouette, a "Modern Solid" style with a very graphic front, and a habitability with a boot space approaching 475 liters.

Epiq battery and performance options

The Epiq currently offers several configurations, including 38.5 kWh LFP batteries for versions with 116 hp and 135 hp, and a 55 kWh NMC battery for a more powerful variant with about 211 hp. The most durable version is said to have an autonomy of up to 430 km (WLTP cycle), with a fast charge in direct current that can reach 125 kW, allowing a charge from 10 to 80% in just over twenty minutes.

Details on Epiq Sportline remain unclear

Skoda has not yet detailed the specific equipment, engines, or prices for the Epiq Sportline. The manufacturer has not provided technical details about the new trim, leaving observers to wait for the Paris Motor Show to discover what the sporty variant will bring to the Czech electric small SUV.

Skoda's electric vehicle success

The Epiq and Peaq have already recorded more than 70,000 orders in total. At the Paris Motor Show, the brand will display 15 vehicles, including the Peaq "Red Car" from the Tour de France and the historic 130 RS, shown to celebrate the 125th anniversary of Skoda Motorsport.
