The Skoda Peaq is Skoda’s largest and most expensive car ever, a 7-seat electric SUV built on the Volkswagen Group MEB platform. It was unveiled globally on 23 June 2026 and offers a WLTP range of up to about 647 km. Skoda has not officially confirmed an India launch yet, but Skoda Auto India’s brand director has said the Peaq is “on the radar.” If it comes, expect a 2027 launch as a fully imported (CBU) model, with prices estimated anywhere from ₹41 lakh to over ₹1 crore depending on the source.

Is the Skoda Peaq Coming to India?
Most likely yes, but it is not official yet.
Speaking in June 2026, Ashish Gupta, Brand Director of Skoda Auto India, said the Peaq is on his radar for India. He added that Skoda wants to bring a premium, well-equipped version rather than a stripped-down car at a high price, and that his ambition is to bring Skoda’s global portfolio to India next year (2027).
More recent reports from August 2026 suggest Skoda may bring a few global EVs to India in limited numbers in 2027, with the Epiq, Peaq and Elroq among the models being evaluated. A cheaper, locally built Skoda EV is expected to come later, once localisation is ready.
There is also an earlier hint: Skoda displayed the Vision 7S concept, which became the Peaq, at the Bharat Mobility Auto Expo 2025.
Why the Peaq and not a smaller Skoda EV?
Smaller imported EVs like the Elroq or Epiq would face tough price competition from locally made rivals such as the Hyundai Creta Electric, Maruti Suzuki e Vitara and Tata’s EVs. A large, premium 7-seater like the Peaq faces far less direct competition, so import duties hurt it less in terms of market positioning. It also works as a “brand-shaper” to show Skoda’s EV technology in India.

Skoda Peaq Expected Launch Date in India
Skoda has not announced an India launch date. Major Indian car portals such as CarWale and CarTrade list a tentative launch around July 2027. This matches Skoda India’s stated plan of introducing global models during 2027.
Treat any exact date as an estimate until Skoda Auto India confirms it.
Skoda Peaq Expected Price in India
This is where estimates differ the most:
| Source type | Estimated ex-showroom price |
|---|---|
| CarWale, CarTrade, Bajaj Finserv listings | ₹41 lakh – ₹51 lakh |
| ZigWheels | Upwards of ₹1 crore (as a CBU) |
| Autocar India listing | ₹1 crore – ₹1.2 crore |
Our take: In Europe, the Peaq starts at about €56,460, and in the UK it is priced from £51,980 to £60,380. Imported as a CBU, it would attract heavy import duty in India. That makes the ₹41–51 lakh estimates look optimistic. A realistic expectation is ₹75 lakh to ₹1.2 crore, unless Skoda uses a lower-duty route or assembles it locally, which has not been announced.
Skoda Peaq Battery, Range and Performance
Globally, the Peaq comes in three versions: Peaq 60, Peaq 90 and Peaq 90x. Skoda India has said it will likely bring the higher variants.
| Specification | Peaq 60 | Peaq 90 | Peaq 90x |
|---|---|---|---|
| Drive | Rear-wheel drive | Rear-wheel drive | All-wheel drive (dual motor) |
| Power | 150 kW (204 hp) | 210 kW (286 hp) | 220 kW (299 hp) |
| Battery (gross / usable) | 63 kWh / 59 kWh | 91 kWh / 86 kWh | 91 kWh / 86 kWh |
| Claimed WLTP range | About 459 km | Up to about 647 km | Up to about 613 km |
| 0–100 km/h | 8.6 sec | 7.1 sec | 6.7 sec |
| Top speed | 160 km/h | 180 km/h | 180 km/h |
| DC charging (10–80%) | About 27 min | About 28 min | About 28 min |
Range figures vary slightly between sources (for example 644 km vs 647 km) depending on wheel size and test configuration. Real-world range in Indian conditions, especially with AC running in summer, will be lower than WLTP figures.
Charging
The Peaq supports DC fast charging of up to around 200 kW on a 400-volt system, plus 11 kW AC charging for home wallboxes. It also gets a heat pump and one-pedal driving.
Skoda Peaq Dimensions: How Big Is It?
The Peaq is the biggest Skoda ever made, larger than the Kodiaq sold in India.
| Dimension | Skoda Peaq |
|---|---|
| Length | 4,874 mm |
| Width | 1,867 mm |
| Height | 1,664 mm |
| Wheelbase | 2,965 mm |
| Ground clearance | 184 mm |
| Drag coefficient | 0.25 Cd |
It is about 12 cm longer than the Kodiaq and around 21 cm longer than the Enyaq. The 184 mm ground clearance is decent for Indian roads, though large speed breakers will need some care with a heavy EV.
Boot Space and Practicality
Practicality is the Peaq’s biggest strength:
| Configuration | Boot space |
|---|---|
| 7-seat, all rows up | 299 litres |
| 7-seat, third row folded | About 890 litres |
| 5-seat layout | About 935 litres |
| All seats folded | Up to 2,150 litres |
| Front trunk (frunk) | 37 litres |
The frunk is handy for storing charging cables. Skoda also adds its familiar “Simply Clever” touches throughout the cabin.
Skoda Peaq Interior and Features
Expected highlights of the Peaq cabin include:
- 13.6-inch portrait touchscreen with an Android-based interface
- 10-inch digital driver display
- Augmented reality head-up display
- Electrochromic panoramic sunroof that can switch opacity
- Wireless phone charging
- Lounge-style cabin with an optional Relax package for extra comfort
- 6-seat and 7-seat layouts in global markets
The exterior uses Skoda’s Modern Solid design language, with the Tech Deck front face and T-shaped LED headlights and tail-lights, similar to the Elroq and Enyaq.
Skoda Peaq Rivals in India
If launched, the Peaq would compete with premium 3-row and large electric SUVs such as:
- Kia EV9
- Mercedes-Benz EQB
- BYD Sealion 7 (5-seater, but a key premium EV alternative)
- Volvo EX90 (if launched in India)
Its main selling points against these would be the large boot, 7 seats, long range and Skoda’s value-focused feature list.
Should You Wait for the Skoda Peaq?
Wait for it if: you want a large, practical 7-seat EV with long range, and your budget can stretch into luxury EV territory.
Look elsewhere if: you need an EV now, want something under ₹50 lakh with certainty, or want a brand with a wider EV charging and service network in your city today.
