Skoda names its new seven-seat electric flagship ‘Peaq’, debuting in 2026
Skoda has revealed that its future all-electric seven-seat flagship SUV will be called the ‘Peaq’. The announcement marks a key step in the company’s electric mobility strategy ahead of the model’s planned global debut in summer 2026.
Flagship role in Skoda’s EV roadmap
The Peaq will sit at the top of Skoda’s lineup, reflecting the naming choice and its positioning as the brand’s flagship. The model serves as the production evolution of the Vision 7S concept that debuted in 2022, which introduced the brand’s Modern Solid design language and outlined its long-term EV direction.
The Vision 7S concept placed emphasis on sustainability, functionality and practical technology – themes Skoda says continue into the production model. The Peaq is intended to focus on the brand’s core attributes of interior space, comfort and day-to-day usability.
Market positioning and target customers
Aimed at larger households and buyers seeking multi-purpose flexibility, the seven-seater model is expected to incorporate the brand’s “Simply Clever” features. Skoda suggests the vehicle is intended for customers who need a single model capable of handling family use, work needs and leisure travel.
Part of wider EV expansion plans
The Peaq forms part of a broader expansion of Skoda’s electric offerings. The manufacturer currently offers 12 passenger models worldwide and delivered over 9,26,000 vehicles in 2024. As a member of Volkswagen Group’s Brand Group CORE, Skoda’s strategy combines battery electric, hybrid and internal combustion products to support a target of becoming one of Europe’s top three brands in terms of sales by 2030.
Launch timeline
The world premiere of the Peaq is scheduled for summer 2026. Skoda plans to announce technical specifications, pricing and market rollout information closer to the model’s launch.
