Exterior: Škoda’s largest SUV in Modern Solid design

› Distinctive, timeless design defined by minimalism and clean lines
› Largest panoramic roof of any Škoda model, with Dynamic Shade Control
› First Škoda model with flush door handles
› Aerodynamically optimised design with an excellent drag coefficient of 0.249

Mladá Boleslav, 23 June 2026 – The design of the largest and most spacious SUV in Škoda’s model line-up fully embraces the minimalist principles of Modern Solid design, defined by clean lines and surfaces. The new flagship introduces several firsts for the brand, including a new panoramic roof – the largest ever fitted to a Škoda – with Dynamic Shade Control. The Peaq is also the first Škoda model with flush door handles, which integrate seamlessly into the bodywork. Together with further aerodynamically optimised elements, these contribute to an excellent drag coefficient of 0.249.

In its scale and presence, the Peaq is unlike any other model in our line-up – and yet it is unmistakably a Škoda. It is a manifestation of our Modern Solid design language, which guided every decision, inside and out. Minimalism and the human approach is the guiding principle – every shape has meaning, every line has a clear purpose, everything follows one clear aim: to offer our customers the very best.

The all-new Peaq draws inspiration from the Vision 7S concept, featuring sleek, minimalist styling across its entire exterior.

At the front, slender T-shaped lights and the glossy black Tech-Deck Face form key Modern Solid design elements. A distinctive loop motif is formed by the lights, the Tech-Deck Face and a new glossy black strip connecting the lower sections of the lights. Counterbalancing this loop is the Volcano line bumper, with both elements combining to create a coherent visual appearance. The bonnet retains the distinctive profiling characteristic of Škoda SUVs.

The profile is defined by a high-set shoulder line, giving the Peaq a commanding presence, reinforced by the wide D-pillars bearing the Škoda lettering.

The rear of the car echoes the front in both design and detail, with slender T-shaped lights and a loop motif formed by the lights, the Škoda lettering connecting their upper edges, and a glossy black strip linking their lower edges.

As the first Škoda model in the large SUV segment, the Peaq is also the biggest and most spacious SUV the brand has ever produced. With an overall length of 4,874 mm, the new flagship is 116 mm longer than its combustion-engined counterpart, the Kodiaq. Its wheelbase of 2,965 mm is 174 mm longer, even surpassing the Superb by 124 mm.

The Peaq also uses the highest proportion of recycled materials of any Škoda, with more than 50 kg of recycled materials across the exterior and interior. The Peaq is offered in ten colours and with wheels ranging from 19 to 21 inches.

The Peaq is the first Škoda model to feature flush door handles, which refine the car’s aesthetics, improve its aerodynamic efficiency, and maintain the highest possible standards of occupant safety.

When the vehicle is locked or in motion, the handles retract fully and blend into the surrounding bodywork, allowing air to flow smoothly around the car. As the user approaches with the key, the handles extend electrically. They can also be deployed manually by pressing the marked front section of the handle.

Another first for Škoda is the panoramic roof with Dynamic Shade Control¹. With a glass area of more than 2.1 m², it is the largest panoramic roof ever fitted to a Škoda model. This electrochromic roof uses electrical voltage to alter transparency and light transmission. The panoramic roof is divided into nine individually controllable segments, with the settings adjusted via the vehicle’s infotainment system. The roof can also be operated via a touch panel on the overhead console next to the interior rear-view mirror.

Despite its size, the Peaq achieves a drag coefficient of 0.249 through a combination of active and passive aerodynamic measures.

These include an active shutter behind the front bumper, which reduces drag by opening when airflow to the battery cooling system is required and closing when it is not. Air Curtain channels guide airflow around the bumper and wheels, supported by spoilers ahead of the front and rear wheels, finlets on the rear wheel arch liners, and dedicated front wheel arch spoilers that reduce the gap to the tyres and keep airflow closer to the bodywork. The wheels are fitted with aerodynamic trims.

Airflow along the flanks is smoothed by the aerodynamically optimised bodywork, streamlined wing mirrors, and flush door handles that sit seamlessly within the bodywork when the vehicle is in motion. A flat underbody ensures smooth airflow beneath the vehicle.

The aerodynamically optimised roofline extends into a rear spoiler with finlets, promoting clean airflow separation from the bodywork to minimise turbulence behind the vehicle. The same effect is achieved by aerodynamic edges on the rear lights and a rear diffuser with an integrated spoiler at the lower rear of the car.

The Peaq’s windscreen conceals two unexpected details. The first is a new Simply Clever feature: wipers with integrated washers. By reducing the distance between the washer jets and the windscreen, they reduce washer fluid consumption by approximately 50 per cent, while improving cleaning effectiveness. The second detail is more subtle. Three cyclists are positioned on the passenger side of the windscreen, referencing Škoda Auto’s origins and its first product: the Slavia bicycle. Even today, cycling remains a core part of the brand’s identity, as underlined by partnerships, most notably its sponsorship of the Tour de France.
