It broadens the electric portfolio at the upper end and will play a key role in doubling Skoda’s electric model range in 2026. The largest and most spacious model in Skoda’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, the brand claims.
Klaus Zellmer, Skoda Auto CEO, says: “The Skoda Peaq is designed for real life – for families who need space, for drivers who want confidence on long journeys, and for anyone who values modern style without compromise. As our next flagship, it raises the Škoda brand to a new level: more spacious, more practical, and more attractive for everyday explorers. Peaq brings a new sense of scale, smart functionality, and progressive design to the large electric SUV segment, setting a benchmark for what a modern Skoda can be. With its efficient electric drivetrain and focus on sustainable mobility, it blends practicality, emotion, and responsibility to create a new feeling of freedom on the road. And as customers expect from Skoda, it delivers all of this with a uniquely balanced, value‑driven approach. With Peaq, we’re taking Skoda’s electric journey to new heights – in every sense.”
Oliver Stefani, Head of Skoda Design, says: “The confident presence of the Skoda Peaq is defined by our Modern Solid design principles, by clarity, simplicity, and a clear focus on functionality and space. Moreover, every design decision was made with the model’s great practicality and everyday usability in mind, putting an emphasis on what matters most to our customers. The Peaq will contribute to considerably further sharpen the identity and perception of our brand. We are convinced: The Peaq’s design has everything to win new customers over for our brand.”
