The Peaq is Škoda’s new all-electric flagship and its most spacious EV to date. Rather than positioning audio as a standalone upgrade, the brand integrates the Sonos system into a comfort-focused “Relax Package”, designed to enhance the overall cabin experience.
According to Škoda, the system was developed “in close collaboration” with Sonos, with the company adapting its home audio technologies for in-car use. The stated goal is clear, balanced reproduction and what’s described as “immersive three-dimensional sound”, pointing to a focus on soundstage and processing rather than outright output.
Škoda has yet to confirm detailed hardware specifications, including speaker count, amplifier power or driver layout. As it stands, it remains unclear how much of the system’s character is defined by physical design versus DSP and tuning — an area where Sonos has built much of its reputation in the home.
The Sonos system forms part of the Peaq’s Relax Package, which also includes AGR-certified seats with massage and leg rests, head pillows, and a fold-out rear table. An in-car Wellness App offers preset modes such as relaxation and re-energise, coordinating seat functions, ambient lighting and climate control. In that setup, audio becomes part of the overall cabin experience rather than a standalone feature.
The Peaq itself measures close to 4.9 metres in length and offers up to seven seats, making it the largest EV in Škoda’s lineup. A flat floor, large glass areas and a panoramic roof contribute to a cabin designed around space and openness, factors that will influence how the audio system performs in use.
Škoda is targeting a range of more than 600 km, putting the Peaq toward the top end of the current EV pack, alongside long-range models from Tesla, BYD and other established EV brands.
On the tech side, the Peaq introduces a new Android-based infotainment platform centred on a 13.6-inch vertical display, supported by a 10-inch digital cluster and optional augmented-reality head-up display. Native apps including Spotify, YouTube and Google Maps are built in, reflecting a shift toward streaming-led in-car listening. A dual wireless charging system for two devices further reinforces that approach, suggesting most audio use will come from connected sources rather than local media.
The Peaq follows Sonos’s earlier automotive work with Audi, where the brand has featured across multiple models since 2021, including the Audi Q4 e-tron and performance-focused variants such as the Audi RS 3. Both sit within the wider Volkswagen Group. While no formal group-wide partnership has been announced, the continued presence suggests that shared platforms can enable audio brands to extend across multiple marques.
Škoda hasn’t shared full technical details of the Peaq’s audio system yet, including formats and processing. We’ll take another look once more information comes through, and we can get a look and a listen in the showroom.
