- Spy photographers have snapped the first photos of Skoda’s three-row electric crossover.
- The model is set to launch in 2026 and the company has suggested it will be called the Space.
- Based on the MEB platform, the model measures around 9.8 inches longer than the Enyaq.
Skoda introduced the Vision 7S concept nearly two years ago, but spy photographers have finally caught the production model. It’s expected to be called the Space and the company has previously confirmed it will be unveiled in 2026.
Caught undergoing testing in northern Sweden, the electric three-row crossover is heavily disguised but sports a Modern Solid design. Details are hard to make out, but we can see a rounded front fascia with sweptback headlights. They’re joined by a large central intake as well as angular air curtains.

Moving further back, we can see streamlined bodywork and flush-mounted door handles. Designers also gave the crossover an expansive greenhouse that appears to remain relatively faithful to the concept. The prototype also has a long sloping roof and aerodynamically optimized front wheels.
There isn’t much to see out back, but the model has been equipped with a large spoiler and vertical taillights. The latter flow into the liftgate and mimic the concept. It’s also worth noting that Skoda has previously said the model will measure approximately 192.9 inches (4.9 meters) long, which would be roughly 9.8 inches (250 mm) more than the Enyaq.

Spy photographers didn’t get a good look inside, but the crossover will have seating for up to seven people. Skoda has also promised the model will offer “flexibility and enormous interior space.” It also appears that the Space could be equipped with a 14.6-inch infotainment system in a portrait orientation, although that’s not entirely clear at this point.
Powertrain details also remain elusive, but the concept rode on the MEB platform and had an 89 kWh battery pack. This provided a WLTP range in excess of 373 miles (600 km).
That’s not much to go on, but it’s possible the model could share some motors with the facelifted Enyaq. This means there could be rear- and dual-motor all-wheel drive systems that produce 282 hp (210 kW / 286 PS).
