Skoda’s next EV will be a compact SUV crossover called the Epiq, to be sold in Europe at a starting price of €25,000 from 2025.
In addition to its existing SUV the Enyaq, Skoda wants to launch a further six EV models in coming years.
"Our customers want choices, which is why we are expanding our growing e-mobility portfolio into this popular segment,” says Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Skoda Auto.
The Epiq will be the first vehicle to be launched using Skoda's 'modern solid' design, and will have bidirectional charging functionality.
Skoda sold 81,700 Enyaq vehicles in 2023, a 52.1pc year-on-year growth — the highest growth amongst any of its models.
