Peaq and Epiq Shone in Paris
The new electric models became the main stars of the Škoda cars' stand at the Paris Motor Show.
From Around the World
The world's oldest motor show has just held its 91st edition, which took place in Paris from 12 to 18 October. The French importer of the Škoda cars once again prepared an impressive stand, presenting the world premiere of the Epiq Sportline model (more about it on the opposite page).
Alongside the current model range, the legendary rally car Škoda 130 RS also drew attention, marking the 125th anniversary of the brand's involvement in motorsport.
Journalists, content creators and other guests were welcomed on a day dedicated to the media, featuring a press conference and an evening programme. Online articles and other posts praised in particular the design of the Epiq Sportline. Some journalists described this model as a pleasant surprise of the show, praising especially the spacious interior for such a compact car. According to the feedback, the Peaq lived up to its role as the brand's new flagship.
The stand also recalled the Škoda brand' connection with the Tour de France cycling race. Guests viewed the red Peaq director's car and had the chance to meet representatives of the sport in person: Bernard Hinault, Marion Rousse, Kilian Brom and Chris Froome, the brand's new cycling ambassador.
The organisers of the stand also thought of children, preparing a play area with an entertainment programme and modelling clay known from the Epiq campaign. Visitors could also try the Smoothie Bike, a bicycle with a blender, and pedal to make their own fresh smoothie.
The French importer of the Škoda cars also used the stand for direct car sales. Twelve sales staff were on hand to look after customers, with negotiations taking place in a private lounge. In the sales area, visitors could buy original accessories or Škoda branded gifts.
The Peaq aims to dethrone the Peugeot E-5008. Both cars will be displayed in the same hall, just a few metres apart. Those interested in the seven-seat electric car will be able to compare access to the third row of seats, boot space with the seats folded down, and the driving position of both models within the same hour.

Visitors looking for an affordable electric car (to some extent, of course) could not miss the Škoda cars' stand. It presented the compact crossover Epiq with a range of thoughtful, practical solutions. It starts with the boot, which, including the compartment under the floor, offers 475 litres, five litres more than the Elroq. On top of that, there is excellent space in the back: three people fit in, and two adults will appreciate the generous legroom.

The show also featured the new seven-seat electric flagship of the Škoda cars, which now holds the title of the most expensive new car in the lineup. And what's more, the Peaq is a truly great car.
