The new Skoda Peaq marks a clear step forward for the brand: more technology, better finishes and the stance of a modern electric SUV. The price, close to £50,000 in the better-equipped versions, may raise eyebrows, but the car offers space, comfort and a generous list of equipment.
On the road it impresses with smoothness, quiet running and crisp electric responses. It is not an inexpensive Skoda, but it is aimed at buyers who want practicality without giving up perceived quality and competitive range.
