The Skoda Epiq is becoming cheaper. The manufacturer is now offering a new entry-level version, the Epiq 35 with the “Easy” package. As a result, the price drops from 27,900 euros to 25,900 euros. The equipment remains largely identical to that of the previously cheapest variant, “Essence”.

However, according to the price list, the “Easy” version comes without options for a heat pump or additional equipment packages. Standard features include LED headlights, a 2-zone climate control system, as well as a 13-inch infotainment display with Bluetooth hands-free functionality and Skoda Care Connect. The manufacturer also mentions a suite of assistance systems: on board are a front radar assistant, a lane-keeping assistant, an intersection assistant, and a lane-change and parking assistant with an integrated exit warning system.

Regarding power, the Skoda Epiq 35 has slightly less horsepower than the 40 model: the front-mounted engine delivers 85 kW and a maximum torque of 267 Newton meters. Its top speed is 160 km/h. In terms of range, it offers 325 WLTP kilometers, which is a slight improvement over the average 321 kilometers of the Epiq 40, as fuel consumption drops slightly from 14.2 to 13.7 kWh per 100 kilometers. Both models also use the same 38.5-kWh battery (37 kWh net) with lithium-iron-phosphate chemistry (LFP).
