Škoda Auto is set to make a significant leap in its electrification strategy with the launch of the Peaq SUV in mid-2026. Drawing inspiration from the Vision 7S concept and built on the Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) platform, the Peaq will become the Czech automaker’s new electric flagship, produced in Mladá Boleslav. The spacious SUV measures nearly 4.9 metres in length and seats seven adults, aiming to reinforce Škoda’s presence in the upper segment of the electric vehicle market and double its electric model range.
Design and Comfort The Peaq stands out with its advanced Modern Solid design language, featuring an illuminated Tech-Deck Face front panel, LED Matrix headlights, and aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels. Ten paint finishes are available. Inside, five interior design options cater to diverse preferences, with high-end variants using Techtona, a premium leather alternative. Passengers enjoy exceptional legroom across all three rows, and the boot offers up to 890 litres of space when the seats are folded. An additional 37-litre “frunk” increases storage capacity.
Technology and Features Škoda offers three powertrain variants—60, 90, and 90x—delivering outputs from 150 kW to 220 kW, with the 90 and 90x models promising a range exceeding 600 kilometres. DC fast charging allows the battery to reach 80 per cent in just under half an hour. The top 90x variant accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.7 seconds.
The Peaq introduces several firsts for the brand, including flush-fitting door handles and a panoramic sunroof with Dynamic Shade Control, divided into nine adjustable segments. The new Android-based infotainment system supports a wide range of apps and features a 13.6-inch vertical touchscreen and digital driver display. A digital mobile key allows access via a smartphone or smartwatch, and an optional augmented-reality head-up display is available.
Comfort is further enhanced by the Relax Package, which includes AGR-certified massage seats, ergonomic leg rests, a foldable table, and a Sonos-developed premium audio system. Practical touches abound, from integrated washer wipers to wireless phone charging and USB ports throughout the cabin.
Simply Clever and Sportline Options The Peaq introduces new “Simply Clever” solutions, such as a QR code in the boot for storage guidance, and supports Vehicle-to-Load and Vehicle-to-Home bidirectional charging. From launch, a Sportline variant will be available, featuring black accents, larger alloy wheels, and sports seats for a more dynamic look and feel.
With its blend of advanced technology, comfort, and innovative features, the Škoda Peaq signals the brand’s commitment to a more electric future.
