Skoda Peaq Shocks EV Market | Dublin News

Skoda just stunned the EV market with its new seven-seat electric SUV, the Peaq — priced a whopping 20K euros below rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9. Starting under 55K for the base model and still under 60K even with a bigger battery, it’s already raking in over 1,500 quote requests in Ireland, with deliveries set for early 2027. With EV sales up 91% in Ireland and now making up 21% of Skoda’s European total, the brand is accelerating its push — launching a compact Epiq next year starting at 25K. Skoda’s Irish director confirms the EV shift is here to stay, driven by falling costs, better charging, and changing buyer habits. From niche to mainstream, Skoda’s now aiming for top-tier market share with smart, affordable EVs. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
