New Skoda Epiq: modern with range

Pallade Veneta - New Skoda Epiq: modern with range

Skoda’s Epiq is the first series‑production vehicle to fully adopt the brand’s new Modern Solid design language. Previewed as a show car in September 2025, the compact city SUV rides on Volkswagen’s MEB Entry platform and measures around 4.1 metres in length. Despite its small footprint, it seats five and provides a generous 475‑litre boot. Skoda aims to offer an affordable electric alternative to its conventional Kamiq with a targeted starting price of about €25,000. Production is slated to begin in Navarra, Spain, with sales expected in late 2026.

Different battery sizes (around 38 kWh to 56 kWh) will deliver a WLTP range of up to 425 km. The platform is shared with the upcoming VW ID.Polo and Cupra Raval, ensuring competitive efficiency and low running costs. Externally, the Epiq is defined by its Tech‑Deck face with T‑shaped LED daytime running lights and a pronounced tornado line along the flanks. Cashmere matte paintwork combines with black accents to convey robustness.

Inside, Skoda follows a “Mobile First” philosophy with a minimalist dashboard, wireless charging and physical buttons. Clever details include bag hooks, straps and underfloor storage. The Epiq’s mixture of accessible pricing, practical range and generous space positions it as a gateway EV for urban families and first‑time electric buyers. The model underscores the brand’s commitment to sustainable mobility by using recycled materials while showing how Modern Solid will shape future Skoda vehicles.

ट्रोजन: एक अधिक खतरनाक राजनीतिक युग के लिए विशेष सुरक्षा

जिन दिनों बख्तरबंद सरकारी वाहनों को मुख्य रूप से राज्य शक्ति का एक दृश्यमान प्रतीक माना जाता था, वे दिन अब समाप्त हो चुके हैं। राजनीतिक उग्रवाद, आतंकवादी खतरों, हाइब्रिड हमलों, तोड़फोड़ और अंतरराष्ट्रीय संघर्षों के परिणामों से परिभाषित सुरक्षा परिवेश में, उच्च-जोखिम वाले व्यक्तियों के लिए विशेष रूप से बख्तरबंद वाहन पेशेवर सुरक्षा रणनीतियों का एक व्यावहारिक घटक बनते जा रहे हैं। टोयोटा लैंड क्रूज़र 300 पर आधारित स्टूफ़ ट्रोजन इस बदलाव का एक प्रमुख उदाहरण है।

TROJAN: 더욱 위험해진 정치 시기를 위한 특별 보호 조치

장갑차 형태의 공무용 차량이 주로 국가 권력의 가시적인 상징으로 인식되던 시대는 지났다. 정치적 급진화, 테러 위협, 하이브리드 공격, 사보타주, 그리고 국제 분쟁의 여파가 특징인 현재의 안보 상황에서, 특히 위험에 노출된 인물을 위한 특수 경호 차량은 전문적인 보안 전략의 필수적인 요소로 자리 잡고 있습니다. 토요타 랜드크루저 300을 기반으로 한 ‘스토프 트로이안(Stoof Trojan)’은 이러한 변화를 잘 보여주는 대표적인 사례입니다.

TROJAN: спеціальний захист для більш небезпечних політичних часів

Часи, коли броньовані службові автомобілі сприймалися насамперед як видимий символ державної влади, минули. У безпековій ситуації, що характеризується політичною радикалізацією, терористичними загрозами, гібридними атаками, саботажем та наслідками міжнародних конфліктів, автомобілі з посиленим захистом для осіб, які перебувають у зоні підвищеного ризику, дедалі частіше стають невід’ємною складовою професійних концепцій безпеки. Автомобіль Stoof Trojan, створений на базі Toyota Land Cruiser 300, є яскравим прикладом цих змін.

TROJAN: Special protection for a more perilous political era

The days when armoured official vehicles were seen primarily as a visible symbol of state power are over. In a security environment characterised by political radicalisation, terrorist threats, hybrid attacks, sabotage and the repercussions of international conflicts, specially armoured vehicles for high-risk individuals are increasingly becoming a practical component of professional security strategies. The Stoof Trojan, based on the Toyota Land Cruiser 300, is a prime example of this shift.
