What Happened
Škoda Auto is expanding the Epiq lineup with the new Sportline version, giving the brand's smallest and most affordable all-electric SUV a distinctly sporty character.

- 38.5 kWh gross (37 kWh net) battery; 99 kW maximum output; 267 Nm torque; more than 310 km of range
- 55 kWh gross (52 kWh net) battery; 155 kW maximum output; 290 Nm torque; up to 440 km of range; 0–100 km/h in 7.1 seconds
- Top speed of 160 km/h; 10–80 per cent charge in 23 minutes (Epiq 40) or as little as 24 minutes (Epiq 55)
440km
Škoda's quoted single-charge figure for the Epiq 55; the range data is preliminary.
Both variants have a top speed of 160 km/h and offer regenerative braking, a coasting mode and an ECO assistant. The ECO assistant uses prompts on the Digital Cockpit to encourage efficient driving and effective use of regenerative braking, helping to reduce energy consumption and extend the vehicle's range. The Epiq 40 charges from 10 to 80 per cent in just 23 minutes, while the Epiq 55 needs as little as 24 minutes. Škoda notes that the range figures are preliminary data and that charging performance can vary between charging stations.
Previously from Škoda
The Epiq Sportline is not entirely new to the public: Škoda gave it a public debut at the Paris Motor Show, as reported on 8 October 2026. It was displayed there alongside the brand's Peaq flagship.

Why this matters
The Sportline is the best-equipped version of Škoda's smallest and most affordable electric SUV, so buyers who want sporty looks and more standard equipment no longer need a larger or pricier model. The two versions also give buyers a choice between a cheaper 99 kW car with more than 310 km of range and a stronger 155 kW car covering up to 440 km.
