Škoda's seven-seat Peaq SUV opens orders August 2026
Škoda launches marketing campaign temporarily renaming Peak District to promote new seven-seat electric Peaq SUV, opening for orders in August 2026.
Škoda is temporarily renaming the Peak District "Peaq District" to promote a seven-seat electric SUV that opens for order in August 2026 - useful ammunition for fleets short on large-format EVs for people-carrying duty. According to Škoda's own news pages, its BEV deliveries rose 48.3% year on year to 108,200 units in H1 2026, making it Europe's fourth-best-selling electric brand, and the Peaq was lined up as the race director's car on 12 of the 21 Tour de France stages (Škoda). Seven-seat EVs remain thin on the ground for family and shuttle fleets, so worth a slot on the 2026 evaluation list once UK pricing lands.
