Škoda has unveiled the all-new Peaq, its new flagship electric SUV that expands the brand’s EV portfolio while setting new benchmarks for space, comfort and technology. Positioned at the top of Škoda’s all-electric lineup, the Peaq combines a spacious seven-seat configuration with a driving range of more than 640 kilometres, making it the brand’s most capable electric vehicle to date.
Measuring 4.87 metres in length and featuring a wheelbase of nearly three metres, the Peaq is the largest SUV ever offered by Škoda and marks the company’s entry into the large electric SUV segment. The generous dimensions translate into a highly spacious cabin designed to accommodate families and long-distance travel with ease.
Comfort is a key focus of the new flagship. Customers can opt for the Relax Package, which further enhances occupant comfort, while the available Sonos premium audio system is designed to create a lounge-like in-cabin experience. The SUV also comes equipped with an extensive suite of advanced features, including LED Matrix headlights and the latest Travel Assist 3.0 driver assistance technology.
The Peaq introduces several new technologies and design elements for the Czech automaker. Flush door handles make their debut on a Škoda model, while the panoramic roof features Dynamic Shade Control, allowing occupants to adjust transparency levels for improved comfort and convenience.
Škoda has also focused on enhancing the vehicle’s practicality and efficiency. Features such as one-pedal driving and bidirectional charging support everyday usability while enabling owners to use the vehicle as an energy source when required.
Commenting on the launch, Klaus Zellmer, CEO of Škoda Auto, said the Peaq represents a significant milestone for the brand and its future direction. “The Peaq represents a new reference point for Škoda as our brand flagship, bringing together our core strengths in a way that reflects where we are heading as a company. It expands our appeal to new customer groups while continuing to deliver the qualities our customers value, including space, practicality and strong value for money,” Zellmer said.
He added that the Peaq will play a central role in expanding Škoda’s electric vehicle portfolio, giving customers greater flexibility in choosing between different powertrain options based on their individual needs.
With its combination of long-range capability, advanced technology, premium comfort and family-friendly practicality, the new Peaq is set to become a cornerstone of Škoda’s electrification strategy and a flagship offering for customers seeking a large electric SUV.
Martin Jahn, Škoda Auto Board Member for Sales and Marketing, said, “The Peaq, with its long range, safety and connectivity features, is designed to excite both families seeking new adventures and managers on long business trips. The combination of space and comfort makes it feel like a lounge on wheels, beneath the largest panoramic roof we have ever had. The Peaq is also highly anticipated by our Škoda dealers, as it completes our BEV lineup from the top and attracts new customer groups. Overall, the Peaq marks a new chapter in Škoda story, taking our brand to the next level. With this new flagship, we can proudly say: this is the ultimate Peaq!”
Johannes Neft, Škoda Auto Board Member for Technical Development, said, “With the new Peaq we’re introducing cutting-edge technologies into our portfolio. It brings together our most advanced assistance systems, connectivity, and comfort features. Travel Assist 3.0, Top Area View 360°, and the new premium sound system, developed in close collaboration with Sonos, are just a few examples of how our customers benefit from advanced technologies that make everyday driving even more enjoyable.”
The all-new Peaq is Škoda’s first all-electric model in the large SUV segment, making it an electrified counterpart to the combustion-engined Kodiaq, yet even larger and more spacious.
Exterior:
The design of the largest and most spacious SUV in the Škoda range follows the Modern Solid design language, defined by minimalism and clean lines. Both the front and rear lights feature the new T-shaped light signature. The Peaq is the first model in Škoda’s history to include a panoramic roof – the brand’s largest – with Dynamic Shade Control, and also the first to integrate flush door handles. A host of aerodynamically optimised features contributes to an excellent drag coefficient of 0.249.
Interior:
The all-new Peaq offers a spacious, lounge-like interior designed to provide exceptional comfort for up to seven people. In the five-seat configuration, it combines this generous cabin space with the largest boot of any Škoda model, offering 935 litres of capacity, while a 37-litre frunk provides additional storage. The optional Relax Package further enhances the onboard lounge experience with front seats featuring ventilation and massage function, ergonomic legrests, premium sound experience by Sonos, and an integrated wellbeing app.
Battery and powertrain variants:
The Peaq is available with two battery capacities, 63 kWh and 91 kWh, the latter of which is the largest-capacity battery ever fitted to any Škoda electric vehicle. Three powertrain variants are available, with outputs ranging from 150 kW to 220 kW and a choice of rear-wheel and all-wheel drive. For even greater driving comfort, the Peaq supports one-pedal driving and features a next-generation heat pump which improves efficiency. The Peaq also supports bidirectional charging, allowing energy stored in the battery to be used outside the vehicle.
Safety and assistance systems:
The Peaq comes with a comprehensive suite of assistance systems, with Front Assist, Crossroad Assist, Turn Assist, and Side Assist fitted as standard. Optional systems include Travel Assist 3.0, the most advanced assistance system currently available in a Škoda model, as well as Top Area View 360° – with transparent 3D visualisation of the car body – and Intelligent Park Assist. Ten airbags, including a centre airbag and rear side airbags, are standard.
Connectivity:
The main control centre of the all-new Peaq is the latest infotainment system, built on the Android platform and equipped with a vertically mounted 13.6-inch display, the first of its kind in a Škoda model. Also making its debut is premium 16-speaker sound experience co-architected with and tuned by Sonos. The 25W wireless charging for two phones has also been enhanced with illumination and integrated magnets to ensure optimal positioning.
Sportline:
The Sportline variant will be available from launch and is defined by glossy black exterior accents and lettering. It is the only version offering optional two-tone paintwork with a black roof. The top trimline comes with LED Matrix headlights and the illuminated front Light Band as standard. The interior adopts an all-black theme throughout, with sports seats incorporating integrated head restraints and a three-spoke sports steering wheel with a Sportline badge. The Sportline can be combined with all powertrain variants.
