Production of the Skoda Peaq EV will begin during the same period at its Mladá Boleslav facility in the Czech Republic.
The Skoda Peaq EV is designed to be the largest Skoda model to date, offering spacious dimensions and flexible passenger capacity.
The vehicle is built on the Volkswagen Group's Modular Electrification Toolkit (MEB) platform.
Modern Solid Design and Impressive Dimensions
The Skoda Peaq EV adopts Skoda's new "Modern Solid" design language, emphasizing minimalism, sustainability, and functionality in every detail.
The exterior features a glossy black "Tech-Deck Face" front panel with vertical slats and LED backlighting, as well as full-LED Matrix headlights with 18 light segments for optimal visibility.
As Skoda's largest model, the Peaq EV has an overall length of approximately 4,874 mm, a height of 1,664 mm, and a wheelbase of 2,965 mm.
Luggage capacity reaches 1,010 liters in the 5-seat configuration, although this reduces to 299 liters for the 7-seat version with all seats in place.
The vehicle also features a 37-liter "frunk" or front trunk for additional storage.
Futuristic Interior and Advanced Technology
The interior of the Skoda Peaq EV is designed with futuristic touches and is equipped with advanced technology for comfort and connectivity.
An Android-based infotainment system with a 13.6-inch vertical touchscreen serves as the control center, supported by a 10-inch digital driver's display.
Wireless charging is available for mobile devices, and an optional augmented reality head-up display provides important information directly in the driver's line of sight.
One of the interior's highlight features is the electro-complex panoramic roof with adjustable opacity, the largest ever fitted to a Skoda model.
Skoda's signature "Simply Clever" features are also present, such as a ticket holder, a folding table, a cleaning cloth for the touchscreen, and a windshield wiper with integrated washer.
The optional "Relax" package offers AGR-certified massage seats, ergonomic footrests, front cushions, a folding table, and a wellness app.
Powerful and Efficient Electric Vehicle Performance
The Skoda Peaq EV will be available in three powertrain variants: 60, 90, and 90x.
The vehicle uses a lithium-ion battery pack (NMC) with capacities of 63 kWh and 91 kWh.
The 60 variant with a 63 kWh battery has a range of over 460 km, while the 90 and 90x variants with a 91 kWh battery can travel over 600 km on a single charge.
In terms of power, the 60 variant (rear-wheel drive) produces 150 kW (approximately 201-204 hp).
The 90 variant (rear-wheel drive) has an output of 210 kW (approximately 282-286 hp), and the 90x variant (all-wheel drive, dual motor) is the most powerful with 220 kW (approximately 295-299 hp).
The 90x variant accelerates from 0-100 km/h in 6.7 seconds.
DC fast charging (10-80%) takes less than 30 minutes, with 27 minutes for the 60 and 28 minutes for the 90 and 90x variants.
Furthermore, the Peaq EV supports two-way Vehicle-to-Load (V2L) and Vehicle-to-Home (V2H) charging.
Estimated Competitive Pricing
For customers seeking a sportier appearance and exclusive features, Skoda will offer the Sportline variant from launch.
This variant will feature glossy black exterior accents, standard 20-inch alloy wheels (21-inch wheels optional), electrically adjustable sports seats, and a three-spoke steering wheel with regenerative braking paddles.
This price puts it above the Skoda Enyaq, which has a starting price of under £40,000.
However, the Peaq EV is expected to be significantly more affordable than other premium options in the same segment, such as the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and Volvo EX90.
The Skoda Peaq EV is expected to compete closely with models such as the Peugeot E-5008 (with a starting price of around £46,000 to £52,000) and the Mercedes-Benz GLB.
