Skoda has a track record of taking shared Volkswagen parts and adding its flair for practicality and value on top. However, now Skoda is turning things up a notch by bringing us a new flagship electric SUV which promises to be the plushest Skoda yet.

Enter the Peaq which as the name suggests will be Skoda’s new range-topping model featuring seven seats and plenty of creature comforts.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Skoda Peaq.

  • This new seven-seater will be the largest electric Skoda yet sitting above the Elroq and Enyaq in the line-up
  • As Skoda’s new flagship, the Peaq promises to be spacious and packed with features such as Sonos sound system, a panoramic roof and there’s even the option of massaging seats – fancy!
  • With up to 390 miles of range
  • Order books will open in September 2026
  • Starting from £51,980

Design and models available

At nearly 4.9 meters long, the Peaq will be no shrinking violet, and Skoda says unlike many seven-seaters where the third row is only suitable for small children, even adults will be able to fit in the back.

The Peaq features chunky looks with a glossy black front design which Skoda is calling a ‘Tech­Deck Face’. This will have LED backlighting to compliment the LED matrix headlights.

It will be available in nine paint colours including the fetching metallic rose colour seen here. There will also be a selection of wheel sizes and designs to choose from.

Three trims levels will be available: SE L, Edition and SportLine.

Interior and tech

Skoda has stretched the distance between the front and rear wheels out as much as possible to maximise interior space, so the Peaq will have the largest boot available in its current model range. There will be five different interior designs which use a range of predominately leather-free materials, though real leather will also be used in places on some versions.

All cars will come with ambient lighting and a heated steering wheel, plus Skoda has added its largest panoramic roof of any Skoda yet which you can change from clear to opaque via the car’s settings. There’ll be an Android-based infotainment system powering the 13.6-inch vertical touch-screen, while the driver gets their own 10-inch display and the option of a head-up display will be available in due course. Additionally, you’ll be able to ramp up the comfort factor with the optional Relax Package which adds massage seats with electrically adjustable leg rests, front pillows, a fold out table, a Sonos sound system and a wellness app which can adjust the climate control, lighting and massage settings to fit your mood.

The Peaq will also be vehicle-to-load (V2L) compatible so you can charge other devices using the car’s battery.

Batteries/range

There will be two powertrain options – 90 and an all-wheel drive 90X – which will have 286 horsepower and 299 horsepower respectively, with an official range of just under 400 miles. When you do need to top-up charging from 10 to 80 per cent should take about 28 minutes.

Price and release

The Peaq will be available to order from September 2026 and it will start from £51,980 with range-topping models costing £60,000. Yes, Skoda is not as budget-friendly as it once was, but this price considerably less than the Kia EV9.

What other cars from Skoda are due this year?

The introduction of the Peaq will see Skoda double its electric offering this year as the Epiq will also join the existing Enyaq and Elroq models.

What other upcoming cars will this compete with?

There aren’t many all-electric seven-seaters, but the Skoda Peaq shares its foundations with the Volkswangen ID. Buzz which in long-wheelbase form has room for seven. Other competitors include the larger Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9 or the smaller Peugeot E-5008.
