Škoda announces six new EV models by 2026
Škoda will cover a wide range of segments with its upcoming models. Oliver Stefani, chief designer for the Czech brand, says "Each of these cars will have its own character in line with its focus, while at the same time being clearly identifiable as a Škoda electric car."
Stefani's team prepared special car sculptures for presenting the future models, giving an insight into the direction in which the new Škoda innovations are heading. The sculptures have a suggested 'face' in the style of the Modern Solid design language the manufacturer is adopting for its next generation of passenger cars. But beyond that the sculptures show the general proportions that the future models will be given.
One important electric model will be a small SUV about 4.2 metres long that nevertheless offers interior space on par with the larger traditional Scala hatchback. This car is expected to significantly boost electrification at a lower price point in Europe and beyond, and will be launched in 2025.
In the category above we can look forward to a compact SUV with the working name Elroq. The name itself suggests that it is going to be an electric alternative to the traditional Karoq SUV. The compact SUV segment is one of the most important in Europe and elsewhere, and with an electric model of this class Škoda wants to offer customers a little something extra.
In 2026, Škoda also wants to roll out an electric car in another important segment, an estate car. About 4.6 metres long, it will become an alternative to the Czech carmaker’s long-standing bestseller, the Octavia. Dimensioned as a compact estate, the car will offer the space and quality of a mid-range car.
Next in the line-up of new electric models will be the modernised Enyaq iV SUV and Enyaq Coupé iV. In 2025 they will also get a makeover in the Modern Solid design style.
The manufacturer's six-model electric offensive should be rounded out in 2026 by a car that, in a way, actually started it: a large electric SUV measuring around 4.9 metres in length. It will be based on the Vision 7S study that unveiled the new design language to the public in August 2022. One of the best features of the brand’s largest model will be its huge interior space.
Further details on each of the planned Škoda EVs will be released closer to the final public unveiling date for each, to be spread out over the next three years.
