2026 Skoda Peaq is a handsome devil

It hasn’t been revealed yet, but odds are Skoda’s new halo SUV will look something like this

The News

The 2026 Skoda Peaq has been imagined ahead of its global debut this year, with the rendered production vehicle looking sophisticated, elegant and rather a lot like the 2022 Vision 7S concept that inspired it.

The Key details

  • 2026 Skoda Peaq looks completely different to the current Kodiaq
  • New flagship electric SUV will sit atop Skoda’s line-up
  • Local plans TBC

The Finer Details

We don’t know too much about the Peaq other than its nameplate and the fact it will be Skoda’s first battery-electric three-row SUV, slotting into the global range above the existing Kodiaq – which you can only get with ICE or PHEV powertrains.

Skoda’s been gracious and given the world plenty of teasers of the upcoming model, especially when you factor in the Vision 7S concept it’s based on.

These unofficial renders of the production version look as if they’ll be right on the money and evolve the Czech brand’s new design language that premiered on the smaller Elroq.

The most obvious difference between the concept and production models is the latter’s more subdued and ultimately realistic front bumper – the concept’s vertically slashed solid unit was one of the major talking points at its debut.

It’s a similar story at the rear where we can see the concept’s tail-light clusters have been carried over virtually untouched, and while we can’t see the rear bumper in the teasers, odds are it’s been toned down and made more traditional – as per the render.

The Road Ahead

The Skoda Peaq will make its debut in the coming months and likely land Down Under either late this year or in early 2027 underpinned by the same MEB architecture as the Elroq and Enyaq, the latter of which will be usurped as the brand’s premier EV.
