Skoda has unveiled exterior sketches of its upcoming all-electric seven-seat flagship SUV, the Peaq. And, in classic modern-car fashion, it appears to have been designed with a ruler, a laser level, and a deep fear of curved surfaces.

The company says the Peaq follows its “Modern Solid” design language, which translates to sharp lines, sculpted panels and enough visual confidence to make a luxury SUV feel slightly self-conscious.

Up front, slim T-shaped headlights flank the gloss-black “Tech-Deck Face” – a name that sounds less like a design feature and more like something you’d install in a nightclub. Together, they create a distinctive illuminated loop stretching across the nose.

The side profile is all about presence. A high shoulder line, broad D-pillars and flush door handles give the Peaq the stance of a vehicle that means business, even if that business is simply transporting seven people to a garden centre.

Around the back, the T-shaped tail-lights mirror the front design, linked by another light bar to create the same loop motif. It’s a neat trick that ensures the Peaq is recognisable whether it’s approaching or disappearing into the distance.

The all-new Skoda Peaq will make its world debut in Monnetier-Mornex, France, at 18:25 on 23 June 2026, when we’ll discover whether it’s as interesting underneath as it is geometrically outside.
