Skoda has revealed its cheapest electric car yet, and it’s already been confirmed for Australian sales in 2027. Called the Epiq, the new electric Skoda is a small SUV and it sits on the same ‘MEB+’ platform as the new Volkswagen ID. Polo. Globally, three versions will be offered with up to 155kW of power and 430km of range on the WLTP cycle. 

Originally revealed in September 2025 as a concept car, the production Epiq is almost identical to that with only slight changes in the bumpers and interior. The Epiq measures 4171mm long, 1798mm wide, 1581mm tall and rides on a 2601mm long wheelbase, making it 6mm longer than a Kia Stonic.

The Epiq’s boot is much larger than a Stonic, however, measuring 475 litres with the rear seats up and 1375 litres with them folded. A 25-litre front boot features as well.

The entry level Epiq drivetrain is called the 35, which uses a 38.5kWh LFP battery for a claimed 315km of WLTP range and using an 85kW front-mounted electric motor. Next up the rung is the Epiq 40, which features the same battery but with a more powerful 99kW motor. The 35 can be charged at up to 50kW, with the 40 almost doubling that speed to 90kW for a claimed 10-80 per cent charge time of 28 minutes.

Above those models sits the Epiq 55, which uses a larger and more sophisticated 51kWh NMC battery for a claimed 430km of range, which is paired to a more powerful 155kW motor. The 55’s battery can be charged at up to 133kW, giving it a claimed 23-minute 10-80 per cent charge time. It’s not yet known which Epiq models will be sold in Australia, but we’d wager on all three making the trip down under.

Inside the Epiq is a clean and good quality interior with a lot of storage and in-car tech. Highlights include a new 13-inch touchscreen with new Android software featuring services like Google Maps navigation and wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. A smaller 5.3-inch digital driver’s display features as well, as do physical shortcut buttons underneath the screen.

Skoda is yet to reveal pricing for any market, but says that it’s targeting the same sort of price range as the petrol-powered Kamiq already on sale. For reference, the Kamiq starts at $33,990 driveaway in Australia rising to $44,990 driveaway for the top-spec Monte Carlo model, potentially meaning that the Epiq could become one of the cheapest electric SUVs on the market when it eventually launches.

Australian pricing and specifications for the Skoda Epiq will be announced closer to its 2027 local arrival.
