These days, the Swiss city of Zurich is living and breathing ice hockey. It is also hosting the world premiere of the compact electric model, the Škoda Epiq. Take a look behind the scenes of this even

They may have a vehicle, but that’s about it.

I actually contacted 2 nearby dealers about it a couple of wks ago, and I was told -

“We aren’t getting training or proper info packs until October, hopefully a demo car in November, so really won’t be able to do much other than put your name on a possible interest list to let you know.

Deliveries not likely before Jan 2027 being very optimistic.”

Still though, it’s a very interesting package.

Right hand vehicles seem to usually come out about 6 months after LHD.

KPMG, think it was, calculated that RHD vehicles cost 6% more to make than LHD, presumably due to the much lower volumes made.

Epiq looking like a possible car for next year to have instead of my Scenic. Need good rear seat space occasionally which Renault 5 has not got but I can forgive it as it is so sweet.

I've been looking at the Epiq for a while now. It could be the replacement for my wife's current '22plate 64kWh Kona EV.

I need to test drive one because the main reason we want to change is the Kona's ride which is so bouncy & jiggly. The Kona's short wheel base & stiff springs / shocks don't help it at all. Fine on smooth roads but we don't have many of them in the UK. The Epiq is about the same length but with a much bigger boot & a slightly smaller battery / range. We currently are getting 4.7miles/kWh out of the Kona (no heat pump) which is is going to be hard to beat.

None of our local dealers has an Epiq in their showrooms yet. However, the order books are open if you want to buy one? Why would someone order a car without seeing one in the flesh or taking it for a test drive?

Our next car could be our first ever lease car as well.
