Skoda Peaq 2026: Kodiaq seven-seat package meets Enyaq electric underpinnings to produce the Peaq large EV flagship

---

Move over Skoda Kodiaq, there’s a new Czechian flagship on the block – and this time, it’s fully electric. 

Skoda Europe has today released full specifications for its Peaq seven-seat electric SUV – a new 4.9m-long flagship, closely inspired by Skoda’s striking 2022 Vision 7S concept, to sit alongside its slightly smaller Kodiaq combustion-powered large SUV sibling.

At 4874mm, the Peaq is 116mm longer than the Kodiaq. Riding on a huge 2965mm wheelbase, the Peaq stretches past both the 2791mm Kodiaq and 2841mm Superb wagon, in a move which Skoda says will prioritise third-row passenger comfort by allowing for a longer, taller body. 

In assuming the role of Skoda’s largest vehicle, the Peaq is expected to be priced above the related $52-$78K Enyaq medium electric SUV and $49-$56K Elroq small electric SUV, though below rival seven-seat EVs such as the Kia EV9 (from $97K), Tesla Model Y L ($75K), and Hyundai Ioniq 9 ($120K).

Australian launch timing and pricing details are still yet to be confirmed, though Skoda claims the Peaq is intended to be offered across global markets. Expect a starting price between $65,000 and $75,000 to sit below existing Skoda’s current EV RS models. All prices listed are before on-road costs. 

Three grades of Peaq will be offered at launch – a base-model 60 featuring a 63kWh battery, rear-wheel drive, and outputs of 150kW/350Nm, middle-grade 90 equipped with a larger 91kWh battery and 210kW/545Nm, and range topping 90x which gains AWD and a 10kW kick over its rear-driven counterpart. 

Driving range figures are quoted at 450km, 640km and 610km respectively, though a testing standard has not been provided. The smaller 61kWh battery can DC charge from 10-80 percent in 27 minutes, while the larger 91kWh unit takes 28 minutes. Both use NMC chemistry.

Highlight exterior equipment includes Skoda’s ‘Tech Deck’ gloss black grille insert, T-shaped LED head- and tail-lights, an LED light strip spanning the front bumper, a range of 19- to 21-inch wheels, a large panoramic sunroof, flush door handles, and SKODA-lettered badging on this ultimate expression of Skoda’s ‘Modern Solid’ design language. 

Inside, the Peaq features seven seats, 10.25-inch driver display, 13.6-inch portrait infotainment touchscreen, dual wireless device chargers, physical climate controls, a heated steering wheel, Sonos 16-speaker sound system, and ambient interior lighting.

Storage volume is marked at 37 litres for the frunk, and 299 litres in the boot with all seven seats up. This volume expands to 935 litres in five-seat configuration and reportedly up to 2075 litres with the second- and third-row seating folded.

A Sportline variant has also been promised at launch, which can be paired with any of the Peaq’s three powertrains, at least in Europe. It appears to be a visual enhancement package, offering features such as gloss-black accents, bespoke 20-inch wheels, sports steering wheel and LED Matrix headlights as standard.
