Škoda presents first interior sketches and announces world premiere date of electric Epiq

• The first Škoda model to fully incorporate Modern Solid interior, featuring a minimalist style and a clearly structured layout
• The world premiere of the fully electric compact SUV crossover is scheduled for 2 p.m. on 19 May 2026

Mladá Boleslav, 4 May 2026 – Škoda Auto is offering a first glimpse of the interior of the new Epiq. The brand’s most affordable all-electric compact SUV is Škoda’s first series-production model to fully implement all aspects of the Modern Solid design language, focusing on clear layout and minimalist style. The world premiere will take place in Zurich at 2 p.m. on 19 May 2026.

The Epiq’s interior has been designed in line with the Modern Solid design language from the outset. The first interior sketches offer an initial impression of the clean, angular design, prioritising clarity and ease of orientation. Horizontal interior architecture replaces a conventional dashboard, enhancing the sense of space and openness, while ambient lighting elements contribute to a welcoming, cosy atmosphere.

The clearly structured layout enables intuitive operation, ensuring ease of use for both driver and passenger. An open storage compartment underlines the practicality of the interior, while the free‑standing centre console integrates wireless charging for added convenience. Sustainable materials are selectively applied in line with Škoda’s Modern Solid approach to the interior.

The Škoda Epiq will play a key role in doubling Škoda’s BEV portfolio in 2026. As part of the European Urban Car Family within the Volkswagen Group’s Brand Group Core, this all-electric entry‑level SUV crossover will help to make electric mobility accessible to a wider group of customers.

The world premiere of the Škoda Epiq will take place in Zurich at 2 p.m. on Tuesday 19 May 2026.
