The Sportline tops Skoda’s Epiq range with up to 440 km of claimed range and 211 hp. Skoda has not disclosed its price.

The Epiq 40 and Epiq 55 share a 160 km/h top speed, but differ in battery capacity and power. Sportline is the Epiq’s most fully equipped trim, not an RS performance model.

The Epiq 40 has 135 hp and a 37 kWh usable battery. Its stated range exceeds 310 km. The Epiq 55 produces 211 hp, uses a 52 kWh usable battery and is rated for up to 440 km. Published Epiq 55 figures vary by configuration and measurement, from 429 to 441 km.

Heated front seats and a heated steering wheel come standard, alongside two-zone automatic climate control. The car also gets front parking sensors and a rear camera. Wireless charging and a digital key are included.

Matrix LED headlights sit alongside Top LED rear lights, with an illuminated grille completing the lighting package. Inside, electrically adjustable sports seats use Suedia upholstery. The same material covers the dashboard and door panels; it also appears on the armrest. A three-spoke sports steering wheel has paddles for adjusting regenerative braking.

Black exterior details and exclusive 19-inch black wheels give Sportline its sharper look. Buyers can choose 20-inch wheels or a fully black roof. Other options include Travel Assist 3.0 and navigation, plus a 360-degree camera. Canton ten-speaker audio, remote parking and a small front luggage compartment are also available.

Production began in Pamplona as part of Volkswagen Group’s affordable-electric-car programme. The entry-level Epiq 40 is already on sale in Spain. The broader Spanish programme has around €10 billion in investment behind it. Diario de Navarra reported that the four related models had accumulated about 150,000 orders by October 2026. That figure covers the whole family, not the Epiq alone.

The basic Epiq has been advertised from €18,500 after discounts and applicable purchase aid. That is not a Sportline price: Skoda has yet to say where the new trim will sit in the range.

Czech reporting put the Epiq 55 at around 779,000 Czech korunas. That figure is neither a Spanish price nor a Sportline price, so it cannot be applied directly to Spain. No individual sales figures for the Epiq Sportline have been confirmed.
