Electric

This will be Skoda’s littlest car in 2025, and it’ll cost £22k (ish)

Skoda’s game plan remains the same in the electric age: copy VW and be a bit cheaper

Published: 02 May 2023

Skoda is planning to launch six new EVs in the next three years, spearheaded by this ‘Small’ entry-level car that it claims will cost less than 25,000 Euros (about £22k) when it’s launched in 2025.

Those of you with a keen eye will have twigged this is the same benchmark figure attached to the VW ID.2all concept, which is meant to spawn a production car in the same year. Coincidence?

Um, no. Clearly not. Though we’re yet to hear if the Small (Skoda’s still thinking up an actual name) will get the ID.2all’s 223bhp front motor and 38/56kWh battery options, it looks like the Czech company’s business model of taking a VW tech and working the margins harder is very much intact.

The small Skoda will be built in a VW Group plant in Spain, and measuring about 4.1m in length it’ll have similar luggage capacity to a Scala, so says Skoda.

As well as this, Skoda’s planning to update the Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe in 2025, and three other entirely new EVs will be online by 2026.

The first is a Karoq successor, now officially called the Elroq; the second is an estate and the third (and largest of all) will be a production version of the Vision 7S concept, for now codenamed ‘Space’. Expect legroom aplenty.

With Alpine promising its A290_β concept hot hatch very soon, who else fancies a little Skoda with (proper) vRS treatment?
