Skoda has expanded its global electric vehicle portfolio with the unveiling of the all-new Peaq, a flagship three-row electric SUV positioned above the Enyaq and Elroq. The new model showcases the Czech automaker’s latest EV technology and design philosophy while targeting premium electric SUVs such as the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Volvo EX90. The Peaq is also being considered for the Indian market, where it could become Skoda’s most premium electric offering if introduced.
Multiple Powertrain Options On Offer
Internationally, the Skoda Peaq will be available in three variants: 60, 90 and 90x.
The entry-level Peaq 60 uses a 63 kWh battery pack paired with a rear-mounted electric motor producing 204 hp. It delivers a claimed driving range of up to 459 km on a single charge.
Moving up the range, the Peaq 90 gets a larger 91 kWh battery and a more powerful rear-wheel-drive motor generating 286 hp. This version offers the highest claimed range in the lineup at up to 647 km.
At the top sits the Peaq 90x, which combines the 91 kWh battery with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive setup producing 299 hp. Despite the added performance, it still delivers a claimed range of up to 613 km.
The flagship variant can accelerate from 0-100 kmph in 6.7 seconds, while DC fast charging support enables the larger battery pack to recharge from 10 to 80 % in under 30 minutes.
Modern Solid Design Language
Measuring close to 4.9 metres in length, the Peaq adopts Skoda's latest Modern Solid design theme. The front end features a distinctive Tech Deck face finished in gloss black, flanked by T-shaped Matrix LED headlights and sleek daytime running lamps.
Unlike conventional SUVs, the Peaq features a closed-off grille design, while functional air channels integrated into the bumper help manage cooling requirements.
From the side, the electric SUV gets flush-fitting door handles, aero-optimised alloy wheels ranging from 19 to 21 inches and a clean, minimalist body profile. At the rear, slim LED tail lamps mirror the front lighting signature, while a roof spoiler and sculpted bumper contribute to improved aerodynamics.
Interiors
Inside, the Peaq offers a modern dual-tone cabin centred around a 13-inch-plus touchscreen infotainment system and a fully digital driver display. While most functions are integrated into the touchscreen, Skoda has retained dedicated controls for frequently used functions such as climate settings and media adjustments.
Feature highlights include a panoramic sunroof, dual wireless smartphone chargers, USB charging ports across all three rows and a premium 16-speaker Sonos sound system.
The Peaq also becomes the first Skoda model to offer a digital key function, allowing owners to lock, unlock and access the vehicle through a compatible smartphone or smartwatch.
For added practicality, the SUV can be configured with seven seats and offers a boot capacity of 299 litres with all rows in use. Folding the third row significantly increases cargo space, making it one of the most practical models in Skoda’s lineup.
On the safety front, the Peaq comes equipped with 10 airbags, a 360-degree camera system, advanced driver assistance systems (ADAS) and automated parking assistance.
India Launch?
Skoda Auto India is currently evaluating the possibility of introducing the Peaq in the country. If approved, the electric SUV is expected to arrive as a completely built unit (CBU) and would likely be positioned as a halo model for the brand.
Should it reach Indian shores, the Peaq would compete directly with premium electric SUVs such as the Kia EV9 while showcasing Skoda’s latest advancements in electric mobility.
