Mon, 30 Mar 2026
- Measuring nearly 4.9 metres replaces Enyaq as brand's biggest model
- Range of more than 370 miles
- Battery tech capable of a 10% to 80% charge in 28 minutes
- Launch confirmed for summer 2026 with a prices expected near £50,000
Skoda has released disguised pictures and more information about its new electric seven-seat SUV, the Skoda Peaq.
The Skoda Peaq will be a production version of the Vision 7S concept car from 2022 (pictured below), and is essentially an electric alternative to Skoda Kodiaq. It will come initially two power options and a four-wheel-drive variant while promising a battery range of more than 370 miles.
The disguised shots of the new Peaq seem to confirm that the final production car will look pretty similar to the Vision 7S, with fang-style lights down the side of the front end, below thin headlights.
When released, the Peaq will take on other electric seven-seaters like the Peugeot E-5008 and the Mercedes-Benz GLB. It will be positioned as less of a premium option than the likes of the Hyundai Ioniq 9, the Kia EV9 and Volvo EX90.
2026 Skoda Peaq price and release date
No exact release date for the Skoda Peaq has yet been announced. We'll see the car in full at a world premiere event in the summer and more details should follow then.
It's likely to be Skoda's most expensive car when fully kitted out. The Kodiaq seven-seater starts at just under £40,000 and the Skoda Enyaq just over than mark, so we'd expect the Peaq to cost closer to £50,000.
2026 Skoda Peaq styling, interior and technology
We've yet to see an undisguised production version of the Skoda Peaq, but the shots above, when compared with the Vision 7S, give us a pretty good idea of what it will look like. Skoda has confirmed that the car will be just under 4.9 metres long and 1.7 metres high, with a 2965mm wheelbase, making it the largest car in Skoda's range.
We know it will boast the latest version of Skoda's "Tech Deck" face, as seen on the Skoda Enyaq and Skoda Elroq, with fine vertical slats and LED backlighting, as well as the option of matrix LED headlights, using 18 light segments to maintain full beam at night while keeping oncoming traffic in shadow to avoid dazzling drivers.
Flush door handles will improve aerodynamics while ten paint colours will be available with wheel sizes range from 19 inches to 21 inches. The Sportline model gets 20-inch wheels as standard, black detailing on the outside and a general sportier look, as well as sports seats inside.
Although we've yet to see the Peaq's interior, we know there will be a 10-inch digital driver display and a 13.6-inch vertical infotainment screen running an Android-based system with Skoda's own apps and the likes of Spotify, YouTube and Google Maps.
A head-up display will be optional and there will be dual wireless smartphone chargers and USB charge ports in all three rows. The Peaq will also allow users to use their phone or smartwatch as a digital key.
There are seven seats across three rows, with a 299-litre boot that expands to 890 litres when the third row is folded down. An electric roller shutter in the luggage compartment will be included and there's also a 37-litre frunkt.
A panoramic sunroof will be available with Dynamic Shade Control, which can reduce the amount of light transmission using electrical voltage across nine individual segments.
UK specs won't be confirmed until nearer the car's full launch, but Skoda says there are five interior designs — Sportline Lounge, two versions of Loft and two of the top-of-the-range Suite. All versions come with ambient lighting and a heated steering wheel — two-spoke on most models and three-spoke on the Sportline. Animal-free interiors are available and Skoda says some versions use more than 50kg of recycled material.
An optional Relax Package uses upgraded relax seats with a massage function and electronically adjustable ergomic leg rests and features pillows, a foldable table and an integrated wellness app. It also gets an upgraded sound system from Sonos.
2026 Skoda Peaq motors, batteries and range
Skoda Peaq customers will be able to choose from three variants — the Peaq 60, the Peaq 90 and the Peaq 90x.
Full specifications haven't yet been revealed, but we know that the power range starts at 204PS in the Peaq 60 and rises to 299PS in the 90 and 90x, the latter of which also has four-wheel drive.
The 90 and 90x promise a range of more than 370 miles, and can be charger from 10% to 80% capacity in 28 minutes using a DC fast charger. The Peaq 60 takes 27 minutes for the same percentage recharge.
Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) capability, which allows users to power small appliances from the car's battery, will be standard.
