„Launching production of the new Škoda Epiq is a historic moment. With the momentum of Brand Group Core behind it, we’re making fully electric driving more reachable than ever – great value for money, designed for real life, and ready to welcome new customers, including those who want something a step above. Over the past years, Enyaq and Elroq have reached record sales across Europe – proof that progress can be both inspiring and accessible.“ - Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto
“The Epiq is the first Škoda model ever to be produced in Spain. This step highlights the strength and adaptability of our production network. By efficiently balancing capacity across the Volkswagen Group, we can support the ramp-up of key electric models while maintaining high production quality and competitive costs – all of which directly benefit our customers.” - Andreas Dick, Škoda Auto Board Member for Production and Logistics
Strengthening synergies within Volkswagen’s Brand Group Core
The Epiq is part of the new Electric Urban Car Family from Volkswagen’s Brand Group Core. Together with the CUPRA Raval, Volkswagen ID. Polo and Volkswagen ID. Cross, it forms part of a cross-brand product campaign, through which the Group brands are launching models in the electric entry-level segment.
Producing the Škoda Epiq in Spain allows to draw on synergies within the BGC and offer European customers electric vehicles that are highly competitive in terms of both technology and price. This approach also enables Škoda Auto to retain production capacity at its own plants for other high-demand models, while enhancing its flexibility in responding to shifts in demand across vehicle segments.
Volkswagen Navarra: a modern plant with flexible production capabilities
The Volkswagen Navarra plant, located on the outskirts of Pamplona in northern Spain, is one of the Group’s key production sites. Founded in 1965, it has produced more than ten million vehicles since becoming part of the Volkswagen Group in 1984. Its nearly 5,000 employees build more than 1,400 cars a day.
Until now, the plant has produced Volkswagen models with combustion engines, the Taigo and T-Cross. Its production programme is now being expanded to include the all-electric Škoda Epiq, with another electric model, the Volkswagen ID. Cross, soon to follow. Like Škoda Auto’s plant in Mladá Boleslav, the Navarra site offers a high degree of flexibility, with combustion-engine and all-electric vehicles assembled on the same production line.
Škoda Epiq: Škoda’s most affordable all-electric model offering everyday practicality
The Škoda Epiq celebrated its world premiere on 19 May in Zurich, Switzerland. With a price tag of around €26,000, it is the brand’s most affordable electric model and the entry point to its electric portfolio, giving customers even greater freedom of choice. With compact dimensions and a spacious interior, the car takes full advantage of the new MEB+ platform and is the first Škoda model to fully incorporate all elements of the Modern Solid design language.
A range of advanced safety and assistance systems is available, including features from higher vehicle classes for even greater safety and comfort. Different traction-battery versions and power variants from 85 to 155 kW give customers a wide selection to suit their needs. With a maximum range of around 440 kilometres, the Epiq offers the versatility required for everyday use. Alongside the upcoming Peaq, the Epiq will play a key role in doubling Škoda’s all-electric model range in 2026.
