Škoda has gone global with its newest electric offering – the Skoda Peaq. Positioned as a high‑ground, three‑row SUV, the Peaq arrives in 5‑ or 7‑seat configurations and promises a range of up to 613 km on a single charge. Production is slated for the end of 2026, with the first deliveries targeting Europe.

Design language: Modern Solid

The Peaq builds on Škoda’s “Modern Solid” design language first seen on the Vision 7S concept. It features a muscular silhouette, a distinctive T‑shaped LED strip, and a glossy black front grille. Aerodynamics are a priority – the streamlined body and hidden door handles deliver a low drag coefficient of 0.249.

Dimensions and practicality

  • Length: 4,874 mm
  • Wheelbase: 2,965 mm
  • Ground clearance: high‑roof architecture for easy ingress
  • Cargo volume: 2,150 L with rear seats folded; 37 L front trunk
  • Wheel options: 19‑inch or 21‑inch alloys

Compared with rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 9, the Peaq is 185 mm shorter overall and 165 mm shorter in wheelbase, giving it a more compact footprint without sacrificing interior space.

Interior: Minimalist tech hub

Inside, Škoda embraces a clean, minimalist cockpit. A digital instrument cluster sits above a vertical 13.6‑inch Android‑based infotainment screen – a first for the brand. Physical buttons are largely eliminated, leaving a spacious, multi‑layered central console for touch controls.

  • Audio: 16‑speaker Sonos sound system
  • Wireless charging: Qi‑2, 25 W
  • Optional Relax package: ergonomic front seats with footrests, cooling & massage functions, integrated head‑rest pillows, and a small centre‑console table
  • Panoramic roof with Dynamic Shade Control – nine independent zones adjustable via a smartphone app

Powertrain options on the MEB+ platform

The Peaq rides on Škoda’s upgraded MEB+ architecture, offering three powertrain variants:

  • Peaq 60 (standard): 63 kWh NMC battery, rear‑motor, 201 hp, 350 Nm torque, 459 km WLTP range. DC fast‑charging up to 160 kW (10‑80 % in 27 min).
  • Peaq 90 (mid‑range): 91 kWh battery, single motor, 282 hp, 545 Nm torque, 613 km WLTP range. DC fast‑charging up to 199 kW (10‑80 % in 28 min).
  • Peaq 90X (top): 91 kWh battery, dual‑motor setup, 295 hp total, 613 km WLTP range, all‑wheel drive.

Advanced driver assistance and utility

All models come equipped with a suite of ADAS features, one‑pedal driving mode, bi‑directional (vehicle‑to‑grid) charging capability, and a towing capacity of up to 2,000 kg.

Launch timeline and pricing

Škoda plans to launch the Peaq in European markets by late 2026, followed by roll‑out to other regions. Pricing details will be announced closer to the first deliveries.

With its blend of spaciousness, cutting‑edge tech, and competitive electric range, the Skoda Peaq aims to become a flagship model in the rapidly growing three‑row EV SUV segment.
