Škoda Peaq First Drives Detail Flagship Electric SUV With 600‑km WLTP Target

Built on VW Group’s MEB platform, the near‑five‑metre model signals a push into roomy family EVs, with certified range and prices still to come.

Overview

  • The Peaq, which Škoda detailed Monday in media briefings and prototype drives, arrives in 60, 90 and 90x versions that span rear‑ and all‑wheel drive and 150–220 kW.
  • Škoda quotes gross batteries of 63 kWh (Peaq 60) and 91 kWh (Peaq 90/90x) with WLTP goals of over 460 km for the 60 and over 600 km for the 90s, pending homologation.
  • Peak DC charging is targeted at about 195 kW for the large pack with a 10–80% session in roughly 28 minutes, while the smaller pack aims for about 160 kW and 27 minutes.
  • The 4.87 m SUV offers five or seven seats, a 1,010‑litre boot as a five‑seater, a 37‑litre front trunk, a segmented electrochromic glass roof, a vertical 13.6‑inch screen on Android software, and V2H home energy support via a VW‑group wallbox.
  • Škoda plans a world premiere in summer 2026 and sales in autumn, with pricing unannounced as outlets peg a likely base near €50,000 and note the unusual choice of NMC chemistry for the small battery where group peers shift to LFP.
