Skoda announces six new electric cars by 2027

Is the auto industry in Europe in trouble? This question can be heard lately, and it is based on the fact that many companies are moving production from Europe or thinking about it. However, companies are working hard on the electrification of existing models as well as the production of new ones. Such is the case with Skoda, which announced the arrival of six electric cars by the end of 2026, and total investments of 5.6 billion euros.

Officially, the European Union bans the sale of new cars with an internal combustion engine by 2035. Skoda announces the arrival of the Compact model next year, as a compact crossover called the Elroq. It is the electric successor of the Karoq model, which will be 4.5 meters long and will be “an ideal family car with a spacious and very practical interior”.

The refreshed Enyaq and Enyaq Coupe will be introduced in 2025, will experience significant changes that include the Modern Solid design. Skoda hasn’t said much about these models, but renderings suggest they have a more aggressive-looking front fascia without the traditional grille.

Other models are expected from 2025, and the first is Small. It is a sub-compact SUV-style car, 4.1 meters long, and the basic price will be 25,000 euros. It looks like it will be Skoda’s version of Volkswagen’s ID.2all, which will be built in Spain. The Combi is expected in 2026 as a spacious electric station wagon with a length of about 4.7 meters, and it will play a “key role” and will “bring the power of the particularly popular and successful Škoda body design into the electric age.” This model will be ideal for families and businesses.

The latest to hit the market is a seven-seat crossover inspired by last year’s Vision 7S concept, the Skoda Space. It will be Skoda’s largest electric car with a length of about 4.9 meters and a huge interior space. Also, it will be decorated with the new Modern Solid design language. This design reinterprets traditional features and boldly breaks new ground. The Czech manufacturer promises a “minimalist and functional” exterior design that “conveys a sense of security and strength.”

Škoda does not give up on internal combustion engines, so those models remain in the offer. The new internal combustion engines will play a key role, and Škoda intends to improve their efficiency. The Czech company is taking over the development of the EA211 engine from Volkswagen, and the internal combustion engines will enable individual mobility in all markets. The refreshed Superb and Kodiaq arrive in the fall, and will be offered with gasoline and diesel options, as well as a plug-in hybrid.
