The Skoda Peaq lands as a fully electric SUV with room for seven and a range that puts it among the leaders. Its design and comfort aim to change what families expect from an EV in Spain.
Skoda has jumped into the electric SUV fight with the Peaq. This seven-seater claims up to 647 km of range and a cabin built for real comfort and space. Skoda isn’t just adding another EV to the mix. The Peaq is a direct shot at what families should expect from a zero-emission car.
The Peaq is big. At almost 4.9 meters long, it’s now Skoda’s largest model, beating the Kodiaq by 116 mm and stretching its wheelbase to 2,965 mm. That extra length isn’t wasted. The third row folds out with a simple manual pull, and even adults get decent legroom. The second row is even better, with plenty of space for legs and heads. Long trips feel less cramped for everyone.
The Peaq is assembled at Skoda’s main plant in Mladá Boleslav and is the brand’s first full-size, seven-seat electric SUV to enter series production.
Storage is another strong point. With all seats up, the boot holds 935 liters—enough for a big family’s week away. Drop the second row and you get 2,150 liters. That’s more than most rivals and turns the Peaq into a rolling cargo hauler.
Skoda’s designers have gone all-in on the Modern Solid look. The old grille is gone, replaced by a glossy black Tech-Deck Face. Up front, there’s a new T-shaped LED signature. The top version gets 18-segment LED Matrix headlights. Along the sides, you’ll see flush electric door handles and a panoramic electrochromic roof that covers 2.1 m². The roof splits into nine segments, each one adjustable for light.
Even with its size, the Peaq is slippery through the air. It has a drag coefficient of 0.249, thanks to active aero shutters, air curtains, a flat underbody, and wheel trims from 19 to 21 inches. Even the wipers are built for efficiency, with water jets in the blades that cut fluid use in half.
According to several independent automotive publications, the Peaq is offered with two battery options—63 kWh and 91 kWh—delivering a WLTP range between 459 and 647 km depending on configuration. This positions the Peaq as one of the longest-range seven-seat electric SUVs currently available in Europe.
On the road, the Peaq is tuned for comfort. The steering is light. The suspension smooths out rough patches, making it easy to cover highway miles. But you feel its 2,300 kg weight on twisty roads. It’s not built for sharp handling. Skoda says it uses 15.8 kWh/100 km, but early tests showed 17 to 18 kWh/100 km. That’s still good for a car this big and heavy.
The Peaq rides on Volkswagen Group’s MEB+ platform. In Spain, there are two main versions: the 90, with 286 hp and rear-wheel drive, and the 90x, with 299 hp and all-wheel drive. Both use an 86 kWh battery. The 90x is rated for 613 km, while the 90 can go up to 647 km on a charge. There’s also a Peaq 60 with 204 hp for other European countries, but it won’t be sold in Spain.
Inside, Skoda has left behind its old, plain interiors. The dashboard is modern and simple, with a 13.6-inch vertical touchscreen that’s quick and easy to use. The cabin feels brighter and more open than before. It’s a clear shift in how Skoda thinks about interior design.
Prices start at 44,950 euros for the 90 and 48,250 euros for the 90x. That puts the Peaq right in the mix with other big electric SUVs. Its main rivals are the Peugeot E-5008 and the Xpeng G9 (though the G9 doesn’t have seven seats). The Kia EV9 is bigger and costs more. The Peaq’s mix of range, space, and price makes it a strong pick for families who want one car for daily life and long trips, without giving up anything important.
The Peaq arrives as the Spanish SUV market is seeing a wave of new models. The ORA 5, which reported earlier, is going after the compact crowd with a different style.
With the Peaq, Skoda is making its intentions clear. The brand wants to change what families expect from an electric SUV—not just in range, but in how easy and comfortable it is to live with. The Peaq’s strengths are real: measured in liters, kilometers, and the space you feel as soon as you get in. In a market where many electric SUVs still ask buyers to make trade-offs, Skoda has built a car that sets a new bar for family EVs.
