The Skoda Epiq is a small EV with unusually strong practicality: 475 liters of trunk space, plus frunk and cabin storage.

It shares its front-drive EV platform with the VW ID. Polo and Cupra Raval, with up to 273 miles of WLTP range.

Orders are open in Europe from €32,100, but the base model is expected to start closer to €26,000.

Skoda has gone for all-out practicality with its new Epiq small electric crossover. It’s mechanically related to the Volkswagen ID. Polo and the Cupra Raval, but its taller, boxier body highlights it focuses more on practicality.

It looks like a shrunken version of Skoda’s larger electric crossovers, the Elroq and Enyaq, with the same familiar face and details borrowed from the 7S concept, like the vertical strakes on the lower bumper. Browsing through the press photos in the gallery, where there isn’t another car next to it for context, the Epiq looks like a bigger vehicle than it actually is.
