Škoda is stepping firmly into flagship territory with the all-new Peaq, a fully electric large SUV. The Czech carmaker recently unveiled the first-drive prototypes and key technical specifications of the Peaq electric SUV in Italy. The EV was first announced in January 2026.
It is based on the Vision 7S concept and built on the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform. It will be produced in Mladá Boleslav and will launch globally in mid-2026. The Peaq is not confirmed for Australia yet.
