25 April 2023, 15:59:55

Škoda Auto steps up its electric vehicle offensive even further with six new BEV models planned by 2026. The brand will be offering a complete range of all-electric models – a “Small”, a “Compact”, an “Estate” and a “Space” BEV in addition to the popular Enyaq iV family. All future BEV models will be defined by a new design language. These six models include four all-new e-vehicles and two updated Enyaq iV family models, the Czech carmaker plans to expand its BEV range to six models by 2026. Škoda Auto will have invested a total of 5.6 billion euros in e-mobility by 2027. The Enyaq iV and Enyaq Coupé iV were successfully launched in 2020 and 2022 as the first two Škoda models based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Platform (MEB). Both models will be significantly updated in 2025 to reflect the new design language that will characterise all Škoda BEV models in future. Additionally, there will be four completely new battery-electric vehicles by 2026:

the “Small”, the future entry-level model in the A0 segment
the “Compact”, an all-electric successor to the Karoq compact SUV, officially called Elroq
the “Estate”, carrying on Škoda’s successful estate tradition
the “Space”, the production version of the 7-seater concept car presented in August 2022, will round off the upper end of the portfolio

In 2024, the first upcoming BEV vehicle will be the “Compact”, which will officially be called Elroq. Measuring around 4.50 metres in length and boasting a similar combination of compact dimensions and a spacious, very practical interior, the Elroq will be the all-electric successor to the Škoda Karoq. It will further expand the Czech brand’s model portfolio in the SUV segment.

The future entry-level model will bear the working title “Small”. It will be a sub-compact car priced around 25,000 euros, that will make electric mobility affordable. The model will be produced at a Volkswagen Group Plant in Spain and introduced in 2025. At around 4.10 metres in length, it will offer a similar luggage capacity as the Scala.

In 2025, the Enyaq iV and Enyaq Coupé iV will receive a comprehensive update and adopt the new Modern Solid design language first showcased on the Vision 7S. The Enyaq iV models were the first Škoda cars to be based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Platform (MEB) and as such have been emblematic of the brand’s new era of electric mobility since 2020 (Enyaq Coupé iV since 2022).

The “Estate” will play a key role among the four new models. This approximately 4.70‑metre-long model will be the brand’s first all-electric estate car, taking the strengths of this particularly popular and successful Škoda body style into the electric age. The “Estate” BEV will be introduced in 2026.

The largest of Škoda’s future BEVs will be the “Space” – the production version of the Vision 7S concept It will be around 4.90 metres long and round off upper end of the portfolio.

Škoda Auto has been manufacturing battery systems for vehicles based on the Volkswagen Group’s Modular Electrification Platform (MEB) in Mladá Boleslav since May 2022. In total, the car manufacturer has already produced more than 500,000 battery systems (for BEV and PHEV models) at its main plant. They are key components for the successful transition to e-mobility. Škoda Auto will be commissioning another MEB assembly line before the end of this year. This will increase the total capacity of MEB battery systems from 1,000 to as much as 1,500 units per day. They are installed in Enyaq iV models and are also used in Volkswagen, Audi and SEAT vehicles. In addition, 800 batteries daily are produced at the main plant in Mladá Boleslav for PHEV models.
