The Škoda Epiq is a compact five-seat electric SUV. At 4.17 metres long it parks like a supermini, yet it carries a 475-litre boot with the rear seats up - bigger than plenty of cars a size above it.
It suits drivers who want an electric family car that still fits a normal parking space: commuters, couples with young children, and anyone downsizing from a mid-size SUV without wanting to give up the boot.
The choice is simple. One body style, one electric powertrain with a battery and power choice, and three trims: SE L, Edition and the First Edition.

Manufacturer data for the versions we currently offer. Last updated 19 September 2026.
The Epiq is Škoda's entry point into electric motoring, sitting below the brand's larger electric SUVs and aimed squarely at drivers who want space without bulk. It seats five, tows up to 1,200 kg braked, and comes with a 3-year / 60,000-mile manufacturer warranty.
Reviewers consistently praise the packaging: the 475-litre boot, the flat rear floor, the storage cubbies and the sense that Škoda has squeezed a bigger car's usefulness into a small footprint. They're also consistent about what it isn't - the steering is light rather than sharp, and it's tuned for calm progress rather than entertainment.
The cabin draws similar comments: hardwearing and sensibly laid out rather than showy. Road testers rate the ride as settled for a car of this size.
Because the safety and convenience kit you'd actually use is standard across the range, so you're not forced up the range to get it. Every Epiq has adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, lane-keep assist, traffic sign recognition, automatic high beam and LED headlights.
Rear parking sensors, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, DAB digital radio, rain-sensing wipers, automatic headlights, power-folding door mirrors, ambient lighting and roof rails are also fitted to every version. Practicality comes as standard too: five doors, 475 litres of boot space seats up and 1,345 litres with the rear seats folded.
Leasing an electric car suits this sort of ownership well, because you hand the car back at the end of the contract and the battery is the manufacturer's concern, not yours - Škoda covers it for 8 years / 100,000 miles, guaranteeing 70% of capacity. If you're new to EVs, our electric car guide covers the basics.
There's one: electric. The decision you're really making is battery size and power output, which run from 133 bhp to 208 bhp with a 38.5 to 55.0 kWh battery, all front-wheel drive and automatic.
Plug-in only, so you'll want a home or workplace charger. WLTP range reaches up to 272 miles on the longest-range version, with official efficiency of 4.4 to 4.5 miles per kWh. The best version charges 0-80% in 24 minutes at 105 kW, or 0-100% in 5.5 hours at 11 kW at home.
Performance runs from 7.1 to 7.4 seconds to 62 mph depending on version, with a top speed of 93 to 99 mph and 290 Nm of torque - brisk enough in town, unfussed on a motorway slip road. Charging basics are covered in our EV charging guide.

Three trims, and the jump is mostly about wheels, comfort kit and parking aids rather than how the car drives.
The starting point, with 18-inch "Plover" alloy wheels, the 133 bhp entry version and front-wheel drive. Everything listed as standard across the range is here, which covers most daily needs.
The SE L is currently available from £228.11 a month.
Mechanically the same starting point - 133 bhp, front-wheel drive - with 18-inch "Saola" alloys in place of the Plover design. This one is about how the car looks rather than adding equipment.
The Edition is currently available from £255.06 a month. Against the SE L, that is currently £26.95/mo more expensive.
The quickest version, with the 208 bhp motor, and the best-equipped. It adds 20-inch "Macaw" alloys, artificial leather upholstery, heated front seats, a heated steering wheel, keyless entry and start, wireless phone charging, built-in navigation, a rear-view camera, front parking sensors, dual-zone climate control, privacy glass, voice control, an auto-dimming rear-view mirror, LED headlights with daytime running lights and headlight range control, and a driver monitoring camera with driver alert.
The First Edition is currently available from £321.54 a month. Against the Edition, that is currently £66.48/mo more expensive.
If you're weighing up the Epiq against other small electric crossovers, look at the Fiat 600, the Geely EX2, the Citroën C3 Aircross and the Hyundai Inster. Other Škoda lease deals are worth a look too.
