Skoda has disclosed new information about the interior of its upcoming Peaq electric SUV via a series of sketches. These arrive just a few days before the Peaq's full reveal, which is scheduled for Tuesday, June 23. The Peaq is also being mooted for an India launch as a halo model for Skoda here.

Skoda Peaq interior: What will it offer?
"Lounge-like" seating, panoramic glass roof
As Skoda's largest electric SUV to date, the Peaq is touted to offer a spacious and "lounge-like" 7-seater cabin with a "clear, horizontal architecture." This can be seen in elements like the straight window line, which extends towards much of the third row, and the neat dashboard layout. A broad panoramic glass roof can be observed in the sketch as well.
The Peaq's interior build quality follows a new 'Lodge' concept, which, according to Skoda, combines "soft textile-based surfaces with robust tactile elements." Interior materials are also said to sport "easy-care finishes" in the interest of practicality.
Skoda Peaq dashboard design
The Peaq will be the first Skoda model to be equipped with a freestanding vertically-oriented infotainment touchscreen, which looks quite large. While physical controls are not quite visible in the design sketch – aside from what looks to be a trio of toggles on the centre console – Skoda says the Peaq's interior will include them for "climate controls, volume settings, and other basic vehicle functions."
In addition to the touchscreen, the Peaq's dashboard features a two-spoke steering wheel with the Skoda wordmark, a "compact" digital driver's display, a flat dash top, a floating centre console, a full-width design for the AC vents, an adjustable armrest, wireless charging pads, and a fair amount of storage spaces. The front seats also have extended side bolsters, lending them a bucket-like look. Notably, the co-driver seat of the Peaq gets electrical adjustment and an ottoman (extendable thigh support).
Skoda Peaq battery and motor setup
RWD and AWD layouts, maximum claimed range of 600km
Skoda is expected to offer the Peaq with 63kWh and 91kWh battery options. The former will be paired with a rear-mounted motor outputting up to 286hp (depending on the variant), while the larger battery will be wired up to dual motors (AWD) producing a combined 299hp. The Peaq claims a maximum range of over 600km, a 10-80 percent DC charging time of 27-28 minutes, and a top speed of up to 180kph, all depending on the variant.
