Skoda’s New Flagship EV To Debut On June 23: Fresh Design Language Previewed

The next big electric SUV from Skoda is almost here. Called the Peaq, this new model will sit at the top of the company’s EV range and will make its global debut on June 23. Ahead of the official unveiling, Skoda has released production design sketches, giving a closer look at what will be its largest SUV yet.

Unlike most Skoda SUVs that start with the letter K, the Peaq follows a different naming strategy. It will also be the company’s first fully electric three-row flagship SUV.

New Design Language Makes Its Debut

The Peaq introduces Skoda’s latest design direction.

Other exterior highlights include:

  • Flush door handles
  • Aero-focused alloy wheels
  • Wide D-pillars
  • Large rear spoiler
  • T-shaped tail lamps
  • Strong upright SUV proportions

The sketches also show a long rear section, helping create additional cabin and luggage space.

Biggest Skoda SUV Yet

Size is one of the Peaq’s biggest talking points.

At nearly 4.9 metres long, it becomes the largest production Skoda ever built. The wheelbase is also significantly longer than the Enyaq and Kodiaq.

Skoda will offer:

  • Five-seat version
  • Seven-seat version
  • Six-seat layout in selected markets is also expected later

The five-seat model is claimed to offer up to 1,010 litres of boot space. There is also a small 37-litre storage compartment under the front bonnet.

Battery, Range And Performance

The Peaq will use Volkswagen Group’s MEB electric platform.

Three versions are expected at launch.

Depending on the variant, buyers will get either a two-spoke or three-spoke steering wheel.
