Skoda’s shift from internal‑combustion to electric manufacturing is evident as the same line that once built the Octavia Combi now produces the Peaq, the brand’s largest SUV to date. The model joins the Enyaq and the upcoming Epiq in Skoda’s expanding EV portfolio, signaling a deeper commitment to electrification in Europe [1].
The Peaq offers a 640 km WLTP‑claimed range with its top‑spec battery and supports fast DC charging from 10 % to 80 % in 28 minutes for the 90/90X variants (27 minutes for the 60 variant) [2]. It seats seven across three rows, provides up to 299 liters of boot space (expanding to 935 liters with the rear seats folded), and includes premium interior options such as the Relax Package with massage seats and a wellness app [2]. In the UK market the Peaq starts at £51,980, positioning it against rivals like the Kia EV9, Hyundai Ioniq 9 and Volvo EX90 [3].
The start of Peaq production underscores Skoda’s accelerating EV transition and sets a new benchmark for large‑format electric SUVs in Europe, while the sizable pre‑order backlog hints at strong consumer appetite for high‑range, family‑oriented EVs.
