Visually, Škoda focuses on black accents, including glossy black lettering and roof rails, black exterior mirrors, and standard 19-inch alloy wheels. Optional 20-inch wheels are also available. The Sportline is the only Epiq variant offered with a black contrast roof.
Škoda adds more equipment to the Epiq
Standard equipment includes Matrix LED headlights, LED rear lights, and an illuminated light strip at the front. Inside, there are electrically adjustable sports seats with microfibre upholstery, a heated three-spoke sports steering wheel with paddles for adjusting regeneration, and a black headliner.
Also standard are features such as dual-zone automatic climate control, front seat heating, parking sensors, a rear-view camera, keyless entry, and inductive charging with up to 15 watts. In Germany, the Travel Package with Travel Assist 3.0, a navigation system, and Škoda Connect Premium services is also part of the standard equipment.
Optionally, Škoda offers a Premium Package with a 360-degree camera, Canton sound system, a 25-litre frunk, and functions for remote and trained parking.
The 4.17-metre-long Epiq is part of the Volkswagen Group’s “Electric Urban Car Family” and, like the VW ID. Polo, ID. Cross, and Cupra Raval, is based on the further developed MEB+. In Austria, the entry-level Epiq 35 is already available, with some variants showing slightly different performance and range figures.
Ordering for the Škoda Epiq Sportline in Germany is scheduled to begin at the end of October.
