First glimpse of the new electric Škoda Peaq

Škoda Peaq

Škoda Auto is set to expand its portfolio in mid-2026 with the fully electric Peaq SUV, based on the Vision 7S concept. Built on the Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) platform and produced in Mladá Boleslav, the model becomes the Czech car manufacturer’s new electric flagship. It broadens the electric portfolio at the upper end and will play a key role in doubling Škoda’s electric model range in 2026 – giving customers even more choice. The largest and most spacious model in Škoda’s portfolio has a range of more than 600 kilometres, measures nearly 4.9 metres in length, and can accommodate seven adults. With seven seats, it provides up to 890 litres of boot space with the 3rd row of seats folded down. Among many other firsts, the Peaq comes with a Relax Package featuring ergonomic seats with a massage function, leg rests, Premium Sound by Sonos, and an integrated wellness app, transforming the cabin into a lounge on wheels.

At nearly 4.9 metres in length, 1.7 metres in height and with a wheelbase of 2,965 milimetres, the Peaq is the largest and most spacious model in Škoda’s portfolio. This status means it will play a key role in doubling Škoda’s electric model range in 2026. The production version of the Vision 7S not only carries the hallmarks of the Modern Solid design language but also represents its most developed form yet. This includes the illuminated glossy black Tech­Deck Face front panel with fine vertical slats and LED backlighting. The electric flagship is available with top­of­the­range full LED Matrix headlights incorporating 18 light segments, giving the driver optimal visibility of the road ahead in all weather conditions and settings without dazzling other road users. The Peaq’s bold appearance is complemented by large, aerodynamically optimised alloy wheels in sizes ranging from 19″ to 21″. Ten paint finishes are available.

With a wheelbase of nearly 3 metres, passengers in the second and third rows enjoy exceptional legroom and comfort. In addition, the third row offers generous headroom. The interior comes with a host of practical solutions throughout.

The seven-seater Peaq provides up to 299 litres of boot space increasing to 890 litres when the 3rd row of seats are folded down. An additional practical 37­litre storage compartment – the Frunk – sits beneath the bonnet and further expands the luggage capacity.

Five interior designs, including Sportline, are available. At the top of the range are two Suite Design Selection options finished in Techtona, a high­quality leather alternative, offered in black and a light grey called Ceramique. The Loft Design Selection combines grey textile upholstery with black Techtona on the trim and seats. The higher­specification Lodge Design Selection features grey embossed textile seats in combination with a green tone Techtona. Completing the range is the Sportline Lounge Design Selection, which combines Suedia upholstery with Techtona.

All interior variants come with ambient lighting and a heated multifunctional steering wheel badged with the Škoda lettering as standard. A two­spoke steering wheel is used across the range, while the Sportline version features a three­spoke version with Hands­Off Detection and regenerative braking paddles. Selected interiors are exclusively animal free, sustainable, and incorporate more than 50 kg of recycled materials; leather upholstery will also become available later this year.

Customers will be able to choose from three powertrain variants – the 60, 90, and 90x – delivering outputs ranging from 150 kW to 220 kW. The 90 and 90x variants offer a range of more than 600 kilometres and can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent capacity via DC fast charging in just 28 minutes. The 60 variant manages the same charge in just 27 minutes.

The Peaq’s powerful electric drivetrain and low centre of gravity provide outstanding driving dynamics and rapid acceleration: the all-wheel-drive 90x variant sprints from 0 to 100 km/h in just 6.7 seconds.
