Speaking previously to Autocar about the Peaq, Skoda’s sales and marketing boss Martin Jahn said: “With the Vision 7S, we entered new territory for Skoda, with a clear idea of how to elevate the brand. Since then, we have introduced a new design language and further refined our product identity. 

“Now we are bringing this innovative vehicle concept to life. Our new flagship model takes our brand values of spaciousness and practicality to a whole new level. As of today, our bold vision for Skoda’s electric future has a name: Peaq – a clear statement of where this model belongs in our portfolio.” 

The production version – which, like the existing Enyaq and Elroq, will use the Volkswagen Group’s MEB platform – is tipped to stick close to the concept’s styling, as the pictures of the test mule suggests.

Jahn previously told Autocar that the new seven-seat EV would be “our new highlight”, adding: “There are not too many seven-seaters in the in the BEV arena, so we believe it will be a really important car: beautiful from the outside, very practical from the inside.

“It’s also an extension of the brand. We put a lot of effort into strengthening the brand, and this car will also help us to do that.”
