Compare the Skoda Epiq vs Volkswagen ID. Polo
Carwow’s own expert rating out of 10 - how our reviewers rate this car overall for value, comfort, kit and driving experience
8/10
AI generated from our expert reviews
If luggage space tops your checklist, the Skoda Epiq offers a larger boot than the Volkswagen ID. Polo, alongside a front storage compartment under the bonnet for your charging cables that the Volkswagen lacks entirely. Both cars provide plenty of adjustment in the front seats to help you settle in behind the wheel. When the road surfaces deteriorate, the ID. Polo deals well with lumps and bumps, whereas pre-production impressions of the Epiq felt jiggly over rough roads.
