New Skoda Epiq First Look: Pricing confirmed for new affordable EV

REVIEW: https://www.electrifying.com/long-term-reviews/skoda-reviews/epiq/review The all-new Škoda Epiq is aiming to become one of the most practical and affordable small electric SUVs on the market, and in this video, Nicola Hume takes you on a full walkaround to see if it delivers. With rugged styling, a surprisingly spacious interior and up to 267 miles of range, the Epiq sits somewhere between a compact hatchback and a family SUV. Think more “baby Karoq” than electric Fabia. Nic takes a closer look at the exterior design, clever storage ideas, huge 475-litre boot, interior tech and family-friendly features, while also comparing it with key rivals like the Jeep Avenger, Renault 4 E-Tech and Citroën ë-C3 Aircross. Inside, the Epiq gets a 13-inch touchscreen with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, physical steering wheel buttons (thankfully), plenty of recycled materials and lots of those classic Škoda “Simply Clever” touches – including an umbrella in the door and an ice scraper hidden in the bootlid. There are three powertrain options available, with up to 210hp, and depending on which version you choose you’ll get charging speeds of up to 133kW. We’ve also driven a prototype version already, so if you want all the detailed driving impressions and specs, head over to Electrifying.com where you can read the full review. #SkodaEpiq #SkodaEV #ElectricCars 🎥 Subscribe to Electrifying YouTube: https://electrifyingcom.short.gy/KK1pbX 🎧 Electrifying Podcast: https://electrifyingcom.short.gy/Pogjfb ✉️Electrifying.com Newsletter: https://www.electrifying.com/newsletter Follow Electrifying.com ⬇️ INSTAGRAM: http://instagram.com/electrifyingcom FACEBOOK: https://facebook.com/electrifyingcom/ X: https://twitter.com/ElectrifyingCom TIKTOK: https://tiktok.com/@electrifyingcom ——————————————————————————————- Check back for the latest new car reviews on everything electric ✅ the latest car reviews ✅ car advice and explainers ✅ used and new car guides ✅ head-to-heads WANT MORE ELECTRIFYING.COM?
