The smallest and most affordable member of Skoda’s electric range is getting a sportier makeover. The new Epiq Sportline will make its public debut at the 2026 Paris Motor Show, where visitors will get their first look at the latest version of the compact electric SUV. Skoda has released a short teaser video, but details about its motor, battery, driving range and price are yet to be announced.
Sportier styling for the Epiq
The Epiq Sportline will bring the familiar design treatment seen on other Sportline models from Skoda. The teaser offers a brief look at the vehicle’s lighting signature, dark exterior finish and Sportline badge inside the cabin.
However, the carmaker has not shared a complete list of design changes or features. It is also unclear whether the new version will receive any changes to its standard equipment.
Here is what Skoda has confirmed about the Epiq Sportline so far:
- Design: Sportline-specific styling details.
- Powertrain: Motor specifications have not been announced.
- Battery: Battery capacity is yet to be confirmed.
- Driving range: No official figure has been released.
- Price: The Sportline’s price has not been announced.

The Sportline name does not confirm a more powerful motor or a larger battery. Skoda has not provided technical details to establish whether this version will have any mechanical changes.
Epiq and Peaq expand the electric range
Skoda has expanded its electric vehicle range at both ends with the Epiq and Peaq. The Epiq sits at the entry-level end, while the Peaq serves as the brand’s new electric flagship.
According to Skoda, the two models have received more than 70,000 orders combined. The company has not shared separate order figures for either vehicle. This number refers to orders and does not represent completed customer deliveries.
The Epiq is expected to play an important role in bringing more customers to electric mobility, while the Peaq caters to buyers looking at the upper end of the range.
What to expect at the Paris Motor Show
Skoda will display 15 vehicles at its stand in Hall 4 at Paris Expo Porte de Versailles. The show will run from October 13 to 18, 2026, bringing the brand’s expanded electric portfolio together at a major international event.
Other displays will include the Peaq adapted as the Tour de France director’s car, known as the Red Car, and the iconic Skoda 130 RS racing car. The latter marks 125 years of Skoda Motorsport.
The Epiq Sportline will make its public debut alongside the Peaq, with further technical and pricing details needed to complete the picture of the new electric SUV.
