Skoda has revealed the Peaq as its flagship electric SUV in its global lineup. It sits atop the Czech manufacturer’s pure-electric portfolio, which consists of models like the Epiq, Elroq and Enyaq, and is positioned to rival full-size eSUVs such as the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Volvo EX90. Skoda is also evaluating the Peaq for the Indian market, where it could serve as the brand’s halo electric offering.
- Offered in a 7-seater configuration with a 299-litre boot space
- Available with two battery packs and three variants internationally
Skoda Peaq EV powertrains
Gets two battery packs with a maximum claimed range of up to 647km
The Skoda Peaq EV will be available in three variants: 60, 90, and 90x. The 60 comes with a 63kWh battery, a claimed range of up to 459km, and a single electric motor driving the rear wheels (RWD) that produces 204hp. The 90 features a larger 91kWh battery, offers a claimed range of up to 647km, and uses a more powerful single-motor RWD setup delivering 286hp. At the top of the range, the 90x pairs the same 91kWh battery with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive (AWD) system, producing 299hp and offering a claimed range of up to 613km.
Performance improves progressively across the range. The 90x is the quickest, accelerating from 0-100kph in 6.7 seconds, followed by the 90 at 7.1 seconds, while the 60 completes the sprint in 8.6 seconds.
Using a 199kW DC fast charger, the 91kWh battery can be charged from 10-80 percent in 28 minutes, while the 63kWh battery takes 27 minutes for the same recharge with a 160kW DC charger.
Skoda Peaq EV exterior design
The nearly 4.9-metre-long EV adopts Skoda's Modern Solid design language
The Peaq is the second Skoda EV to follow the manufacturer’s latest Modern Solid design language, after the Epiq, which was revealed in May 2026. It gets a gloss-black ‘Tech Deck’ face with LED vertical slats. It also gets T-shaped Matrix LED headlights and eyebrow-shaped DRLs. In typical EV-like fashion, the grille is blanked off, and the bumper features functional air vents to cool the EV’s internals.
In profile, the eSUV gets 19- to 21-inch aero-optimised alloy wheels and powered flush-type door handles. The design here is simple, with a flat beltline and no prominent creases. A gloss black strip runs on the wheel arches and the lower section of the body. At the rear, it gets slim T-shaped LED taillights that mimic the headlight design, a chiselled rear bumper with a black lower portion and a roof-mounted spoiler that helps improve aerodynamics.

Skoda Peaq EV interior design and features
Gets two digital screens and is filled to the brim with amenities
The Skoda Peaq gets a dual-tone dashboard theme, which sports a 13.6-inch touchscreen infotainment system, a 10-inch digital driver’s display, and a heated two-spoke steering wheel with the brand wordmark on it. While most functions are controlled through the touchscreen infotainment system, the Peaq retains a few physical buttons on the centre console, which is split into two sections. The upper section houses lock/unlock, hazard and volume controls, while the lower section features three climate toggles. The outer toggles adjust temperature, while the central one controls fan speed.
In terms of amenities, the Skoda Peaq gets a 16-speaker Sonos sound system, dual wireless phone chargers, a panoramic sunroof and USB charging ports on all three rows. It also supports bidirectional charging, which helps it power electrical appliances and even a home grid. It is the first Skoda car to get a digital key feature, enabling locking and unlocking via a smartphone or a smartwatch.
An augmented reality (AR) based head-up display (HUD) is offered as an optional extra. For enhanced comfort, the Peaq also gets an optional Relax Package that equips the EV with AGR-certified seats with massage function, power-adjustable leg rests, pillows on front seats, a foldable table and an integrated wellness app with six dedicated modes, including relaxation, stretching, and re-energising.
On the safety front, Skoda has equipped the Peaq with 10 airbags as standard, a 360-degree camera, an advanced driver assistance system (ADAS) suite, and an auto park assist. The washers are integrated with the wipers, making it the first Skoda car to get such a feature.
Skoda Peaq EV India launch details
India launch is being evaluated, and if it comes to India, it could be via the CBU route
Skoda is actively evaluating the possibility of bringing the Peaq to India. Speaking about the brand’s plans, Ashish Gupta, brand director for Skoda Auto India, said, “Yes, it’s on my radar. We have to look at the specifications of the car, and we need to bring in a premium car, not a bare-bones car at a high price. So that is what we are working on. My ambition is to have our global portfolio in India next year.”
While there is no confirmed timeline for the Peaq’s India launch yet, Skoda could introduce the electric SUV as a completely built unit (CBU) import. If it makes its way to India, the Peaq would serve as an alternative to the Kia EV9, which is currently priced at Rs 1.30 crore (ex-showroom). In the UK, prices of the Skoda Peaq start from 51,980 pounds, which converts to around Rs 64.95 lakh (before taxes and duties).
