Its luggage compartment has a volume support of up to 490 liters.

The car will offer a 400-kilometer range with bi-directional charging (bi-di) which means that the car’s battery can be used to power and charge other devices and machines. The company says it could even power an entire household.

Skoda mentioned that the new name fits into the nomenclature of its BEV SUV models. The “E” in the Epiq stands for the battery-electric Skoda model and the “Q” identifies as SUV family.
