"Like the others, the Epiq rides on the VW MEB+ platform, which is simplified and front-wheel-drive to reduce costs and keep these vehicles affordable. VW is launching both a hatchback and a crossover, while Cupra has opted to only build a hatchback on this new platform. Skoda is only making a crossover, as this body style is what even subcompact buyers in Europe are looking for."
"Base cars come with a 38.5-kilowatt-hour LFP battery pack with a usable capacity of 37 kWh and either 114 horsepower or 133 hp, and a WLTP range rating of 196 miles (315 km) for both power outputs. The long-range Epiq has a larger 55 kWh NMC pack (51.7 kWh usable), which pushes the claimed range to 267 miles (430 km) and the power jumps to 207 hp."
Epiq is a small electric crossover built on the Volkswagen MEB+ front-wheel-drive platform shared with the ID. Polo, ID. Cross and Cupra Raval. The model targets subcompact crossover buyers and starts at €25,000 ($28,900). Its Tech-Deck Face includes high-set LED eyebrows and separate lower headlight projectors, creating an upright mini‑SUV stance. A drag coefficient of 0.275 aids efficiency. Base models use a 38.5‑kWh LFP pack (37 kWh usable) with 114 or 133 hp and a 196-mile WLTP range. A 55‑kWh NMC pack (51.7 kWh usable) raises power to 207 hp and range to 267 miles, with 0–62 mph in 7.4 seconds for the top variant.
