What's new
The Skoda Peaq has been unveiled as the brand’s new electric flagship at its world premiere on Mount Salève in France, 1,100 metres above sea level. The location matched the name, with the reveal taking place on a mountain summit. The car is 4.87 metres long, sits at the top of Skoda’s line-up and becomes the brand’s fourth fully electric model after the Enyaq, Elroq and Epiq.
The new model carries a strong image role for Skoda, with development board member Johannes Neft calling it a “Brandshaper”. It offers seating for up to seven people, so it is aimed squarely at families that need space. It is also 11.6 cm longer than the Kodiaq, which is likewise available as a seven-seater.
Skoda chief executive Klaus Zellmer said during the reveal that winning a title is easier than defending it. The brand is coming off a year with more than one million vehicles sold, and in the first quarter it delivered 271,900 vehicles worldwide, up 14 percent year on year. Revenue rose to 7.9 billion euros, operating profit to 660 million euros and return on sales reached 8.3 percent.
Skoda’s electric range has doubled within a short period, because the Peaq follows the presentation of the smaller Epiq in Zurich only a few weeks earlier. The Epiq is set to start at around 26,000 euros and, according to Zellmer, should sell better than the Elroq. The Elroq had been the brand’s electric bestseller, with almost 100,000 units sold in the previous year.
Specifications and technology
The entry-level Peaq Selection 60 has 204 hp, rear-wheel drive and a 63 kWh battery, or 59 kWh net. The range for this version is 450 km, while energy consumption is listed at 17.5 kWh/100 km. Charging from 10 to 80 percent takes 27 minutes.
The range also includes a larger 91 kWh battery, 86 kWh net, intended to deliver up to 640 km of range. That is the largest battery offered in any electric Skoda. The battery systems are produced at the brand’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav.
Drive, charging and performance
The car uses the MEB platform, which does not allow an 800-volt architecture. Neft said Skoda had extracted the maximum from the platform, while the absence of 800 volts is offset by a good, linear charging curve and efficiency. Aerodynamics also contribute, with a drag coefficient of 0.249.
- Battery choices: 63 kWh gross, 59 kWh net and 91 kWh gross, 86 kWh net.
- Power outputs: 204 hp, 286 hp and 299 hp.
- 0-100 km/h acceleration: 6.7 seconds for the all-wheel-drive version, 7.1 seconds or 8.6 seconds for lower-output versions.
- Top speed: 160 km/h or 180 km/h.
The cabin features a 10-inch driver display and a 13.6-inch touchscreen. A head-up display is optional, and beneath the centre console there is a Qi.2 wireless charger rated at up to 25 W. The phone is said not to overheat while charging.
Comfort is central to the car’s brief. The seats can be heated and ventilated, and they can also be set to a reclining position. The optional DCC system adjusts the damper and spring characteristics to road conditions within milliseconds, firming up in faster corners and becoming softer on poorer asphalt.

Markets, prices and availability
In Germany, the Peaq Selection 60 starts at 49,900 euros. The Sportline version starts at 54,800 euros. The car is due to arrive in autumn, but no exact market-launch date is given.
Germany is Skoda’s most important market, and local brand chief Frank Barwasser expects the Peaq to support fleet sales. By May, 103,255 new Skodas had been registered there, 16.3 percent more than a year earlier. Electric models accounted for 30 percent of registrations, and with the Epiq and Peaq the expected share is 33 to 35 percent.
Families and fleets
Barwasser expects 40 to 50 percent of customers to choose the seven-seat version. More than a quarter of the planned sales of the flagship model are expected to come from Germany. Globally, around 50,000 units are being discussed.
Skoda wants the Peaq to strengthen its presence in the fleet market, where the Superb and Kodiaq already play an important role. Martin Jahn also sees relevance as a management car, because it combines status with family usability. In the frunk, there is a dedicated recess for the luggage-compartment cover, one of the brand’s practical Simply Clever solutions.
Outside, the car uses the Modern Solid design language, including the illuminated glossy black Tech-Deck Face and LED backlighting. The panoramic roof measures 2.1 square metres and uses Dynamic Shade Control dimming. It is divided into nine separately controlled segments.
Verdict
The Peaq is Skoda’s largest and most family-oriented electric model, with seven-seat capability, a large battery and a German starting price below 50,000 euros. Its key figures are a range of up to 640 km, 10-80 percent charging in 27 minutes and a market role that stretches from families to fleets.
