User Rating
The Skoda Epiq is an upcoming compact electric SUV from Skoda Auto. It is expected to be the brand’s most affordable EV globally. It has compact dimensions perfect for a practical city car, a spacious enough cabin, modern features, and is built on a dedicated EV platform. When launched in India, it will be Skoda’s first mass-market electric SUV and rival the Hyundai Creta EV, the Maruti Suzuki eVitara, and the Tata Curvv EV.
Dedicated EV platform means it’s better optimised for its hardware
Decent range for a city car
Large boot space
Quite feature-packed
India launch is not yet officially confirmed
Could be expensive if imported initially via the CBU, or CKD route
Lower variants may have limited range
Availability of charging infrastructure is still a concern
