Skoda Peaq makes global debut; Gets a 91 kWh battery with 640 km range
- The all-new Skoda Peaq debuts with seven seats, over 640 km range, new technology and several brand-first features.
Skoda has unveiled the all-new Peaq, its largest and most spacious SUV to date, introducing several firsts for the brand. Positioned as the company’s flagship electric SUV, the Skoda Peaq enters the seven-seater electric SUV segment with a maximum claimed driving range of more than 640 km, a new design approach and a broad set of technology, comfort and safety features.
Skoda Peaq: Dimensions and cabin space
The Peaq becomes the largest vehicle in Skoda’s SUV range with an overall length of 4,874 mm. It is 116 mm longer than the Kodiaq, while its 2,965 mm wheelbase is 174 mm longer than the Kodiaq and 124 mm longer than the Superb.

The larger footprint enables increased interior space across all three rows. Even with the optional third row in use, luggage capacity stands at 299 litres. In five-seat configuration, boot volume expands to 935 litres, making it the largest cargo area in any Skoda model. A 37-litre front storage compartment has also been added for charging cables and other items, while additional cabin storage exceeds 33 litres.
Skoda Peaq: Modern Solid design with new features
The Skoda Peaq adopts the company’s Modern Solid design philosophy with cleaner surfaces and simplified styling inspired by the Vision 7S concept. T-shaped LED lighting signatures appear at both ends alongside the Tech-Deck Face front section and a distinctive light loop design.
Skoda introduces flush door handles for the first time with the Peaq. These retract into the body when the vehicle is locked or moving, helping improve airflow and aerodynamic efficiency.
Another first is a panoramic roof measuring over 2.1 square metres, making it the largest fitted to any Skoda model. Dynamic Shade Control technology allows users to adjust transparency levels across nine independently controlled sections.
Aerodynamic elements including active shutters, wheel trims, roof spoilers and a flat underbody contribute to a drag coefficient of 0.249.

Oliver Stefani, Head of Skoda Design, says, “In its scale and presence, the Peaq is unlike any other model in our line-up – and yet it is unmistakably a Skoda. It is a manifestation of our Modern Solid design language, which guided every decision, inside and out. Minimalism and the human approach is the guiding principle – every shape has meaning, every line has a clear purpose, everything follows one clear aim: to offer our customers the very best."
Skoda Peaq: Powertrains and charging
The Peaq will be available with two battery options and three powertrain variants:
The Peaq 60 uses a 63 kWh battery with rear-wheel drive and an electric motor producing 201 bhp and 350 Nm. It has a claimed range exceeding 450 km and reaches 0-100 km/h in 8.4 seconds.
The Peaq 90 and Peaq 90x use a larger 91 kWh battery, the largest battery pack fitted in a Skoda vehicle. The Peaq 90 develops 282 bhp and 545 Nm, while the all-wheel-drive Peaq 90x produces 295 bhp. Claimed range figures exceed 640 km and 610 km respectively.
Charging from 10-80 per cent takes 27 minutes for the smaller battery and 28 minutes for the larger pack. The Peaq also supports one-pedal driving and bidirectional charging functions including Vehicle-to-Load, Vehicle-to-Home and Vehicle-to-Grid operation. Towing capacity reaches up to 2,000 kg depending on the variant, while an optional next-generation heat pump improves efficiency in colder conditions.
