Skoda is accelerating its EV transition with an all-electric station wagon and three new battery-electric SUVs.
The four all-new EVs and two updated Enyaq models will expand the brand’s BEV range to six vehicles, Skoda said.
The Volkswagen Group-owned brand said it will have invested a total of 5.6 billion euros in e-mobility by 2027.
“By 2026, our new battery-electric models will cover all vehicle segments that are relevant to our customers,” Skoda’s sales and marketing boss Martin Jahn said in a statement.
Skoda teased the models on Tuesday with physical ‘sculptures’ showing their silhouettes.
The 4700-mm long ‘Estate’ electric wagon will launch in 2026 and will be the brand’s first battery-electric vehicle with a wagon body style.
The electric wagon “embodies the brand’s core values and transports the strengths of this popular body style into the era of electric mobility,” Skoda said.
The wagon versions of the Octavia and Superb combustion-engine cars outsell the hatchback versions and the Octavia regularly tops Europe’s wagon sales charts.
Skoda will launch a battery-electric compact SUV next year called the Elroq. The 4500-mm long model will be the electric successor to the Karoq combustion-engine SUV, Skoda said.
The car will have a “similar combination of compact dimensions and a spacious, very practical interior,” Skoda said. The model is expected to be built on VW Group’s MEB electric platform.
Skoda’s new entry-level SUV will go on sale in 2025. The 4100 mm-long model has the working title “Small.”
The subcompact car will be priced around 25,000 euros and will make electric mobility affordable, Skoda said. It will give the brand an electric alternative to its Kamiq combustion-engine small SUV.
The model will use the VW Group MEB Entry front-wheel-drive small EV platform shared with the VW ID2, as well as an upcoming VW small SUV and the Cupra Urban Rebel. The four models will be built in Spain, with the Skoda scheduled to go into production alongside the small VW SUV at VW Group’s Pamplona plant.
Space large SUV
The largest of Skoda’s future BEVs will be the Space. It will be around 4900 mm long and round off upper end of the portfolio, Skoda said. The Space will go on sale in 2026.
The model was previewed by the Vision 7S concept shown last year. The 7 name refers to SUV’s number of seats.
The 7 name refers to SUV’s number of seats. The Space production model will offer an electric alternative to the Kodiaq midsize SUV, which is available with a seven-seat option.
The Vision 7S concept was built on the same MEB platform that underpins the Enyaq and VW brand’s ID4 SUV. The concept had a 14.6-inch rotating dashboard screen that links to the driver’s smartphone to deliver much of its content.
Enyaq updates
The Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe midsize full-electric SUVs,which were introduced in in 2020 and 2022, will get “significant” face-lifts in 2025, Skoda said. They will have the same robust and rugged ‘Modern Solid’ new design language as the new Skoda electric models, the brand said.
The Enyaq, built on VW’s MEB platform, was Europe’s eighth best-selling volume electric cars in the three months to March 31, with 9,963 sales, up 19 percent on the same period the year before, according to market analysts Dataforce.
