Skoda's Super-Sized EV Takes Aim At The Hyundai Ioniq 9

• The Skoda Peaq has been spied ahead of its summer debut.
• Electric three-row crossover previewed by Vision 7S concept.
• Expected 89 kWh battery could provide a 373-mile WLTP range.

Skoda recently confirmed its upcoming three-row electric crossover would be called the Peaq and now spy photographers have caught a lightly camouflaged prototype undergoing cold weather testing.

Previewed by the Vision 7S concept, the production model will debut this summer and sport a design reminiscent of the Hyundai Ioniq 9. While stickers provide plenty of misdirection, we can see angular air curtains as well as a trapezoidal lower intake sporting stylized lines.

The grille and headlight treatment is designed to throw people off as the camouflage hides a new "Tech‑Deck Face," which appears to resemble the one used on the concept. A closer inspection appears to show C-shaped headlights that are connected by a lower band.

Moving further back, we can see slender A-pillars that flow into a long, sloping roof. They're joined by an expansive greenhouse, streamlined bodywork, and flush-mounted door handles. The model also has pronounced wheel arches, but the disguise appears to add some extra thickness.

The rear end has a stylish liftgate with a trapezoidal accent as well as a distinctive spoiler. The taillight graphics are fake, but presumably hide T-shaped lighting units that echo those found up front.

Spy photographers didn't get a look inside, but Skoda has previously said the seven-seater will bring "spaciousness and practicality to a whole new level." We can also expect a relatively upscale cabin as the Peaq will become the brand's range-topping model.

Powertrain details remain elusive, but the crossover will ride on the MEB platform and likely offer an assortment of powertrains. If the concept is any indication, the road-going model could have an 89 kWh battery pack and a WLTP range in excess of 373 miles (600 km). The Peaq may also offer a DC fast charging capability of around 200 kW.

The model could take a few cues from the Enyaq, which offers dual-motor all-wheel drive systems with outputs of 282 hp (210 kW / 286 PS) and 335 hp (250 kW / 340 PS). That being said, the newer Peaq could have more powerful and efficient motors.
