Skoda unveils its electric seven-seater SUV as the leading electric model for the brand in 2026.
Škoda's Vision 7S: The New Electric Flagship Set to Debut Next Year
Škoda is gearing up to expand its brand with the production version of its Vision 7S, a seven-seater electric car that will serve as the company's new electric flagship. The Vision 7S, first introduced in 2022, will be positioned above the electric SUVs Enyaq, Enroq, and Epiq in Škoda's lineup, and its price will exceed that of the battery SUV Enyaq, which is available for around 45,000 euros in Germany.
Martin Jahn, Škoda's sales chief, described the Vision 7S as "our new highlight". The production version of the Vision 7S, reported to have a length of approximately 4.9 meters, will closely follow the design of the concept. The car is expected to be "beautiful on the outside" and "very practical on the inside".
The Vision 7S is based on the MEB platform of the Volkswagen Group and will be equipped with an 89 kWh battery, which is said to offer over 600 kilometers of range. Details about the seven-seater Vision 7S are still being kept confidential by Škoda, but it is expected to be offered to customers in several versions with different performance and range.
The price-performance ratio of the Vision 7S is expected to reach "a new level" with the production version. While the assumed price level is not explicitly mentioned, it is worth noting that Valerion's VisionMaster Max, a related high-end projector, will be available for €4,999 starting October 2025. The sales chief, Martin Jahn, stated that while the Vision 7S will not be the cheapest car in its segment, it offers a better price-performance ratio than other brands at the same price.
The Vision 7S design language was first introduced in the Vision 7S concept and has since been used in other Škoda models. The car will reportedly have a 200 kW (272 PS) drive and will be introduced into production next year. The presentation of the Vision 7S is expected to take place this year.
The Vision 7S will likely be approximately the same size as the 4.760 mm long Kodiaq, making it a spacious option for families. The production version of the Vision 7S is expected to closely follow the design of the concept, ensuring a sleek and stylish look that is characteristic of Škoda's latest models.
In conclusion, the Vision 7S is set to be an exciting addition to Škoda's lineup, offering a spacious seven-seater electric car with an impressive range and a competitive price-performance ratio. Stay tuned for more details as they are revealed.
