\u0160koda is expanding its electric vehicle offensive with the launch of the new Peaq, a model positioned at the top of the brand\u2019s zero-emission range and marking the Czech manufacturer\u2019s entry into the large SUV segment. Measuring 4.87 metres in length, featuring a wheelbase of almost three metres and offering seating for up to seven occupants, the new flagship combines space, comfort and technology with a claimed driving range of more than 640 kilometres. The Peaq is the largest and most spacious SUV ever produced by \u0160koda. Compared with the combustion-engined Kodiaq, the new electric model is 116 mm longer, while its 2,965 mm wheelbase even surpasses that of the Superb. These figures underline the brand\u2019s ambition to strengthen its presence in the upper end of the market.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

In terms of design, the newcomer fully embraces \u0160koda\u2019s Modern Solid design language, characterised by clean lines and minimalist surfaces. The styling takes inspiration from the Vision 7S concept. At the front, T-shaped light signatures and the glossy black Tech-Deck Face define the vehicle\u2019s identity, while the rear echoes the same design elements to create a cohesive appearance. \u201cIn its scale and presence, the Peaq is unlike any other model in our line-up \u2013 and yet it is unmistakably a \u0160koda. It is a manifestation of our Modern Solid design language,\u201d said Oliver Stefani, Head of \u0160koda Design.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

Among the key innovations are flush door handles, a first for the brand. Seamlessly integrated into the bodywork, they contribute to improved aerodynamic efficiency alongside other optimised design features, helping the Peaq achieve a drag coefficient of 0.249. The new flagship also introduces the largest panoramic roof ever fitted to a \u0160koda, featuring Dynamic Shade Control technology. Inside, customers can opt for the Relax Package, while other highlights include a Sonos premium sound system, LED Matrix headlights and Travel Assist 3.0. Everyday usability is further enhanced by one-pedal driving and bidirectional charging capability. Sustainability has also played a major role in the vehicle\u2019s development. The Peaq incorporates more than 50 kilograms of recycled materials throughout the exterior and interior, the highest amount ever used in a \u0160koda model. The range will be available in ten exterior colours and with wheel sizes ranging from 19 to 21 inches.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":75027,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[28],"tags":[389,3573],"class_list":["post-75031","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-skoda-en","tag-skoda-peaq"],"publishpress_future_action":{"enabled":false,"date":"2026-07-01 11:38:46","action":"change-status","newStatus":"draft","terms":[],"taxonomy":"category","extraData":[]},"publishpress_future_workflow_manual_trigger":{"enabledWorkflows":[]},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75031","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=75031"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75031\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":75034,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/75031\/revisions\/75034"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/75027"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=75031"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=75031"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/autodesignmagazine.com\/en\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=75031"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
