A Name With a Point to Make
Škoda has named its upcoming seven-seat electric flagship the Peaq. The choice follows the brand's established pattern for electric models — Enyaq, Elroq, Epiq — while signaling the car's position at the summit of the lineup. Peak. Peaq. The wordplay is deliberate.
The name was announced in January 2026, ahead of a world premiere planned for summer of the same year. No full design images have been released yet, but the name reveal confirms the model is on schedule and will arrive as a production-ready vehicle, not a concept.
Why a Seven-Seater Matters for Škoda
The Peaq will be the largest car Škoda has ever offered under its own nameplate. A seven-seat layout places it firmly in the family SUV segment that the brand has historically served well — but never with a fully electric powertrain at this scale.
Its arrival is strategically important: together with the small urban-focused Epiq, the Peaq will bookend Škoda's electric range from entry-level to flagship. The brand has not had that kind of full-spectrum coverage in EV form before.
Part of a Larger Pattern
The Peaq's announcement came the same week that Škoda confirmed it would double its all-electric model count in 2026. Two models become four. For a brand that only entered the EV market in earnest with the Enyaq in 2020, this is a compressed timeline — but one that the Elroq's commercial success has helped justify.
The Peaq world premiere will be the centrepiece of Škoda's 2026 product calendar. More details on specifications, range, and pricing are expected ahead of the summer reveal.
