The Skoda Peaq tries to move into full-size luxury SUV territory: seven seats, electric power and a specification built to deliver near-premium comfort. On the road it stands out for its quiet ride, solid perceived quality and very relaxed driving feel.
Its toughest hurdle is the asking price. In the UK it starts at around £52,000, putting it close to more prestigious alternatives. For Italian buyers, it is above all a sign of where large family EVs are heading in terms of space, range and refinement.
