Škoda Auto just dropped a big reveal on January 12, 2026. Bringing that bold design to production streets by summer 2026. Families eyeing spacious EVs are sure to love how it cranks up practicality while keeping things premium.
Design and Everyday Smarts
Peaq keeps Škoda's Modern Solid look, which sports clean lines with a boxy stance. Perfect for hauling kids, gear, or weekend adventures. Inside, it comes in a three-row configuration loaded with those signature Simply Clever touches. Such as hidden storage nooks and easy-fold seats, putting less chaos into life.
Key Interior Features of the Car Include
- Second-row captain's chairs with adjustable settings are available for comfort of adults in long hauls.
- Massive cargo area, with the ability to expand by sliding or folding rows.
- Friendly technological hub of easy-to-navigate screens and voice commands.
- You will not find any compromise on family vibes here.
- It's built for real-world chaos, from school runs down the block to cross-country trips.
Powertrain Buzz
There’s not a lot of information available just yet, but rumor has it that this is some serious electrical muscle. This could mean an 89 kWh battery capable of going as far as 600 km on a single charge. Fast-recharging capabilities of 200 kW to reduce downtime. Rear-wheel drive for fuel efficiency or an all-wheel system and approximately 340 PS, which could leave some gas burners lagging in the starting hole.
Range
- Real-world range could extend into the 500+ km range, matching Kia EV9.
- Drivetrain options: RWD, standard. AWD for snowy conditions or when towing.
- Charge speed: 10-80% in <30 minutes at DC charging points.
- Its design and structure make it a “workhorse” that doesn’t feel like a “compromise.”
Martin Jahn, the Sales and Marketing boss for Škoda, “With the Vision 7S, we ventured into new territory. Now, we're translating this innovative idea into reality. With the Peaq, our spaciousness and practicality reach an entirely new dimension.”
Pricing and Competition
Price is expected to undercut more showy rivals like the Volvo EX90 or Hyundai Ioniq 9. Entering the premium-but-affordable bracket like the petrol Kodiaq. It will compete with the likes of the Peugeot e-5008 or Mercedes EQB for the best family SUVs on the market. In India, there is no local launch decisiveness. Though offering solutions like the PM E-Drive Initiative, Peaq will fit right into city tribes.
ELCTRIK Speaks
Škoda's Peaq is something of a shrewd move in the crowded world of electric SUVs. One that cleverly melds spacious family carriers, decent ranges, and quick charge times. Featuring as it does against pricier rivals. This looks like a victory in the offing for the sensible buyer who's been left disappointed by the inflated feeling of 'luxury'. Škoda gets its act right in the summer, and this car just might carve a niche for itself in the Indian market. Electrics of the 'seven-seater' variety are in high demand.
