Skoda has just revealed its biggest, most ambitious electric vehicle yet. The new Peaq is the brand's electric flagship, a seven-seat SUV designed to sit above the Enyaq as the most spacious, most comfortable Skoda ever built — and it's claiming over 600 kilometres of range to back up the size.
The Peaq's road to today's reveal stretches back to 2022, when Skoda's Vision 7S concept first hinted at where the brand was heading — a large, seven-seat electric SUV positioned at the very top of the model range. That concept has now become reality. The name itself is a deliberate play on the English word "peak," chosen to underline its position at the summit of Skoda's electric lineup, sitting above the Enyaq and joining the smaller Elroq and upcoming Epiq as the third pillar of Skoda's electric offensive.
Built on the Volkswagen Group's MEB platform, the Peaq measures roughly 4.87 to 4.9 metres long with a nearly three-metre wheelbase — making it noticeably larger than the existing Kodiaq, currently Skoda's biggest combustion SUV at 4.76 metres. That extra length translates directly into cabin space: in five-seat configuration, the Peaq offers a genuinely huge 1,010 litres of boot space, expanding to a record-breaking 935 litres even with all seven seats in place — Skoda says it's the largest boot ever fitted to one of its cars.
The Peaq launches with three distinct drivetrain options, all running on the MEB platform's familiar rear-wheel-drive-biased layout. The entry-level Peaq 60 uses a 150kW (204PS) motor with rear-wheel drive and a 63kWh battery, returning a more modest range. Stepping up, the Peaq 90 increases output to 210kW (286PS), while the range-topping Peaq 90x adds a second motor for all-wheel drive, combining for 220kW (299PS) total and a genuinely brisk 6.7-second 0-100km/h time. Both the 90 and 90x use the larger 91kWh battery pack, which is what unlocks the headline 600km-plus WLTP range figure — the smaller 63kWh pack in the base model returns a still-respectable but noticeably lower figure.
Charging is handled via DC fast-charging, with Skoda quoting a 10-80% top-up in under 30 minutes across the lineup — 27 minutes for the base Peaq 60% and 28 minutes for the larger-battery 90 and 90x variants. Vehicle-to-load (V2L) capability is standard, letting owners power external equipment like e-bikes or camping gear directly from the car's battery, and Skoda has also confirmed bidirectional vehicle-to-home (V2H) charging support when paired with its new Ambibox DC wallbox from Moon Power — letting the Peaq feed stored energy back into a home's electrical system when needed.

The Peaq embodies the next generation of electric driving at Skoda — combining exceptional performance, cutting-edge technology and outstanding comfort.
— Skoda, on the Peaq's positioning as electric flagshipSkoda has clearly designed the cabin around long-distance comfort rather than sporting intent. A standout feature is the largest panoramic glass roof ever fitted to a Skoda, using Dynamic Shade Control technology split into nine individually adjustable segments, letting occupants fine-tune exactly how much light enters each part of the cabin. Optional ergonomic massage seats and adjustable leg rests are aimed squarely at relaxed long-haul travel, paired with a premium Sonos sound system to round out what Skoda is positioning as a genuine "lounge on wheels" experience.
For the first time on a Skoda, the central infotainment display is mounted in portrait orientation — a 13.6-inch touchscreen that handles the bulk of digital functions, while physical buttons and dials remain in place for essentials like climate control and volume. This mirrors the successful approach Skoda already uses on the Superb, blending modern digital convenience with the simplicity of physical controls rather than burying everything in a touchscreen. A 10-inch driver display and an available augmented-reality head-up display round out the instrument cluster, while a digital vehicle key lets owners unlock and start the car using just a smartphone or smartwatch.
Visually, the Peaq is the fullest expression yet of Skoda's "Modern Solid" design language, first previewed on the Vision 7S concept and already seen in production form on the smaller Elroq and the facelifted Enyaq. Despite its size, early impressions from limited test drives describe the Peaq as surprisingly agile for its footprint, helped by a wide steering angle at the front axle that allows for a tighter turning circle than its dimensions would suggest — without needing rear-axle steering to achieve it. The front end features a glossy black panel illuminated by narrow vertical light segments, with matrix-LED headlights available, while flush-mounted door handles help keep aerodynamics clean despite the SUV's bulk.
Pricing has not been officially confirmed, but industry expectation points to a starting figure above €50,000 — positioning it just above the standard electric Enyaq, which starts at €48,900. If that estimate holds, the Peaq would undercut established seven-seat electric rivals like the Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Kia EV9, neither of which could be described as cheap. Skoda's traditional strength has always been calculated, sensible pricing rather than chasing a premium badge, and if the Peaq's eventual price stays disciplined, that value positioning against pricier seven-seat EV rivals could be one of its strongest selling points.
This is a genuinely significant moment for Skoda — not just a new model, but a statement about where the brand sees its electric future heading. Going all-in on space, comfort and practicality rather than chasing outright performance numbers plays directly to Skoda's traditional strengths, and keeping physical controls for climate and volume alongside the new portrait touchscreen shows the same sensible thinking that's worked well on the Superb. The 600km-plus range claim is genuinely competitive for a vehicle this size, and if Skoda can hold pricing below the Ioniq 9 and EV9 as expected, the Peaq could become the default choice for large families wanting to go electric without paying a premium-brand markup. We'll be watching closely once official pricing and final WLTP figures are confirmed.
