Skoda Peaq Electric SUV Revealed Ahead of June 23 Debut: Up To 600 KM Range and Seven Seats
Table of Contents
Skoda is preparing to enter the growing three row electric SUV segment with its new flagship EV, the Skoda Peaq. Ahead of its global debut on June 23, the Czech automaker has released official design sketches that give us a clearer look at the production model.
The upcoming Skoda Peaq will sit at the top of the brand’s electric lineup and will compete directly with models such as the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and Peugeot E 5008.
Skoda Peaq Design Takes Inspiration From Vision 7S Concept
The new Peaq evolves the design language first introduced by the Vision 7S Concept in 2022. While earlier prototype sightings revealed the SUV’s overall shape, the latest sketches highlight several production ready details.
At the front, the SUV adopts Skoda’s Tech Deck face, similar to the smaller Epiq electric SUV. The front fascia also features additional lighting elements integrated into the grille area, giving the Peaq a more distinctive appearance.
The rear gets T shaped LED taillights, a design element that has become a signature for Skoda’s latest EVs. The front bumper looks more restrained than the concept version, although Skoda says its shape was inspired by a volcano.
Large alloy wheels dominate the sketches, though production versions will likely feature more practical sizes. Other notable design details include:
- Flush door handles
- Sculpted front and rear fenders
- Clean body surfacing
- Textured wheel arch and bumper cladding
- Sustainable material usage in exterior trim
Spacious Cabin With Premium Features
While Skoda has not released full interior images yet, the company has already confirmed several key features that will be available inside the Peaq.
Expected highlights include:
- 13.6 inch infotainment touchscreen
- Augmented reality head up display
- Electrochromic panoramic glass roof
- Ergonomic massage seats with leg rests
- Premium audio system
- Recycled and sustainable cabin materials
The focus appears to be on comfort, technology, and practicality, which are all important for family buyers looking at a large electric SUV.
Dimensions and Cargo Space
The Skoda Peaq is designed as a large family SUV with generous passenger and luggage space.
| Specification | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Length | 4,874 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,965 mm |
| Frunk Capacity | 37 liters |
Buyers will be able to choose between two seating layouts.
Five Seat Version
- Cargo space: 1,010 liters
Seven Seat Version
- Cargo space behind third row: 299 liters
The long wheelbase should also help maximize interior room across all three rows.
Battery, Power and Driving Range
The Skoda Peaq is built on Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric vehicle platform, which already underpins several EVs across the group.
Customers will have access to two battery options and three powertrain choices.
| Variant | Power Output |
|---|---|
| Rear-Wheel Drive | 201 hp |
| Rear-Wheel Drive (Higher Output) | 282 hp |
| All-Wheel Drive Dual Motor | 295 hp |
Battery options include:
- 63 kWh battery pack
- 91 kWh battery pack
The larger battery allows the Peaq to deliver up to 600 km (373 miles) of WLTP driving range, making it one of the longest range electric SUVs in its class.
Skoda Peaq Launch Date
The Skoda Peaq will make its official world premiere on June 23, 2026, in Monnetier Mornex, France.
Production will take place at Skoda’s Mlada Boleslav facility in the Czech Republic. Market launch is expected shortly after the global reveal.
Skoda Peaq: A Serious Rival to the Kia EV9
The large electric SUV segment is becoming increasingly competitive, and the Skoda Peaq arrives with all the ingredients buyers are looking for.
A practical seven seat layout, up to 600 km of range, premium technology, and Volkswagen Group’s proven MEB platform should make it a strong alternative to established rivals like the Kia EV9 and Hyundai Ioniq 9.
More details, including pricing and full specifications, will be revealed when the Peaq officially debuts later this month.
