Top Features of the Škoda Epiq First Edition
Exclusive Launch Styling: The First Edition sets itself apart with bright orange highlights along the roofline, side mirrors, and front bumper [00:42], paired with a sporty, blacked-out Škoda wordmark [01:27].
Bespoke 20-inch Wheels: Rides on eye-catching First Edition-specific 20-inch alloys that feature an integrated orange accent flash to match the trim [00:51].
Premium Cabin Touches: Inside, the cabin receives the full first-edition treatment with vibrant orange seatbelts (similar to the Elroq) and matching orange contrast stitching across the seats [03:45].
Flagship NMC Battery: Unlike the standard Epiq models which introduce more budget-friendly LFP chemistry, the First Edition comes equipped with a larger, energy-dense NMC battery pack for maximum driving range [03:27].
Plateaued Charging Efficiency: Utilizes a newly optimized 105 kW DC fast-charging curve that focuses on maintaining a higher average charging rate deeper into the pack, enabling a 10% to 80% charge in just 24 minutes [03:20].
Clever Spatial Packaging: Despite its compact 4.1-meter length, it provides a generous 470-liter boot and an airy rear cabin with plenty of headroom for 6’2" adults [04:45].
